David Kennedy Reviews 25

Life changing! I am 54 and have tried countless "plans" in the past that either failed, were false and unhealthy and/or caused huge stress on my system....David's programme is COMPLETELY different. Being a healthcare professional I thought I had an idea about what being healthy meant but now I'm much more aware of what good nutrition actually is. I see how it improves each aspect of my health and I am not stressed about having an off day. I have lost weight, gained muscle, lowered my cholesterol and changed my whole mindset around healthy living. I feel so much better in myself - I have more energy. David's plan brings everything together - body, mind and fitness. Its very clear and the videos are straightforward and easily understood. Even though I have completed the programme, I have the resources now to keep going. I have learnt so much. Each week he takes time with you on a zoom call to talk through the process without judgement. If you want to become a new version of yourself, contact David. His professionalism, attitude and advice is incomparable - he is an expert in his field. I have changed habits for the better and become consistent with prioritizing my health. Invest in yourself - life is too short - just Trust the programme - IT WORKS!

We had David in to speak with our Senior Hurling Team. His main focus was on Team Values and Fear around Performance.
He engaged the players throughout and facilitated a brilliant hands on workshop with very practical solutions to Match Day preparation outlined and discussed.
Would recommend David for any organisation in relation to Performance Coaching.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about David, or his program. Indeed the program at a slightly different point, having already lost significant weight, my goal was to build some muscle and lose some fat.
David is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and giving with his time and I can honestly say that my time spent on his programme has changed my life. My attitude to food and my body’s fuel needs has shifted completely
If you’re thinking of getting a trainer or starting a programme, stop right here and sign up with David. Like me, you’ll look back and be thankful you did.

Ascension Lifts recently teamed up with David for an enlightening Mental Health and Well-Being seminar. The staff came away with valuable insights into enhancing their overall well-being, tackling daily stressors, and navigating client interactions more efficiently. We wholeheartedly recommend David and are excited to continue our staff's well-being journey with him. Robbie Byrne, Ascension Lifts.

David put together a series of fitness classes, that would run weekly, for the parents in our school. The classes needed to suit all ages and all levels of ability. David did the most fantastic job. The classes were a super mix of mobility and strength, every exercise had variations to suit everyone and the classes built on each other each week while also including new exercises to keep it fresh, interesting and fun. David was very friendly, supportive and motivating to everyone in the class and always stuck around for a cuppa and a chat afterwards. He always followed up his classes by sending on the sets we had done so that we could do them at home if we wanted. The sets required minimal equipment or space and could be done anywhere. David manages to promote fitness and well-being in a way that works for each individual and really understands the challenges people face. I cannot recommend him highly enough and look forward to more of his classes in the future.

Dave is a great guy with excellent experience in guiding and assisting with weight loss. He helped me with a personal plan of diet and exercise to lose over 14kg that I would not have believed possible previously. His dedication to helping you is second to none and he is always there to provide support and guidance. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave to anyone thinking of loosing weight and trying to get a bit fitter. Absolute 5 star experience without a doubt.

David worked with me to create a comprehensive course to educate trainers to teach a 6 month personal transformation program by human behaviour expert Peter Sage. David worked with us over 3 years to create course structure and material. David is a very dedicated person with a high level of commitment to his own success and now the success of his clients. Over the years we had many personal conversations and his knowledge of human health is outstanding. Above all David loves people and is always there to support anyone. I am proud to call David a good friend.

David’s approach of fitting his programme into my lifestyle is the reason why he is so successful. From the off David’s honesty and commitment was obvious and an inspiration. By making small manageable changes over a gradual period of time I have been able to see changes not only to my physical appearance but more importantly to the way in which I now approach fitness and nutrition. Whereas before rushing home to train every evening was a chore, by following David’s advice it is now something that fits easily into my everyday life. I cannot recommend David highly enough. His professionalism, empathy and knowledge are an inspiration. What you see is what you get with David. His weekly check ins gave an extra layer of belief. The changes that David helped introduce to my diet and lifestyle are ones that will be of benefit to me long after the 12 week programme.

David did a workshop for a group of our staff who all work solo around the country - the focus was health and wellbeing. David was totally engaging, open and honest and everyone took away something personal and positive. Solid and interesting content delivered in a memorable way. Thank you David.

David ran a 6 week Strength & Conditioning course for women in Mullingar Golf Club recently. I found David to be very professional, helpful and knowledgeable and would highly recommend him.

I joined a 6 week Strength and Conditioning course run by David in our local golf club I found David to be very relatable patient knowledgable in providing this course as we had different level participants attend the course I look forward to participating in further courses provided by David I strongly recommend him

I me David at a workshop that was held at my athletics club . He gave us lots of good advice on dealing with race / performance anxiety and the tools for dealing with this .
I have also spoken to David in relation to sports nutrition which I found very beneficial.
I would highly recommend David, very easy to chat to and lots of knowledge in relation to sports performance.

I met David through a workshop organised by my running club. I found David’s programme was very insightful and inspiring. I found a lot of what David presented and spoke about was very relevant to everyday life situations and events. I left the workshop feeling very enthusiastic and upbeat. I would highly recommend David’s workshop to anyone going through a period where they feel they are lacking motivation in any aspects of their life.

David presented a workshop to 35 of us who train with Mullingar Harriers Athletic Club. It was very informative. It dealt practically in identifying self-awareness of fear areas such as nerves, anxiety and negative thoughts that impact performance. The workshop helped to identify very practical tools that will assist in overcoming those fears.

I met David through my son and I witnessed the great work he had achieved. I felt I needed a reset in my life due to a number of years of ill health and bad life choices. I felt I needed a goal to shrive towards and David gave me the support and provided me with the tools to achieve these goals. David mentored me through the process and guided me through the challenges that I found and are in which inevitable on this journey. I really feel this is a journey and although I have finished my programme I now feel equipped to continue the process with a new found confidence. I am older adult and although for a long time I felt it was to late David tailored the programme to fit my needs and make everything a lot easier and instilled a belief in me to achieve. Thank You David

Enjoyed Davids Body Mind Success Workshop, particularly part 2 that focused on the mind.
Davids insights and words offered a few systems to help reframe common ways of thinking and learning to inspire more positive habit building.
Happy to recommend him.

David has visited our school on a number of occasions over the last ten years working mostly with our senior pupils. He acted as instructor as part of the Westmeath Sports Partnership programme, Cycle Safe and also taught his own innovative programme, School Fit with our sixth class.
It is very clear from his involvement in these that he displays a very deep passion for fitness and physical well-being. I have always found David very professional in his interactions with our pupils. He was very patient yet wasn’t afraid to challenge the pupils so they could reach their maximum potential. He also showed a great awareness for pupils who might struggle with such activities and made necessary adjustments so that they could gain success.
In particular I would like to commend him on his School Fit programme where he mixed very well the theoretical aspect of good health linked to diet and physical activity. During this four week programme, pupils completed weekly challenges culminating in a final week fitness test. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all our pupils, not just those who would be considered ‘sporty’.
On a personal level, I have always found David very easy to work with. He is a really nice guy who is very enthusiastic about what he does without going over the top. I would hope that we will work with him again in St. Michael’s N.S in the near future.

Working with David has been an absolute pleasure in both personal and fitness development. Enthusiastic, focused and observant are 3 words that come to mind straight away. David was far more than just our S and C coach, he had that personal touch and knew what every different player needed and how to deal with them.

Individually I felt I could always approach him for a chat about anything and he was always there with the perfect advice. Always interested in how things were at home and you knew he cared for the person and not just the playing side of things. In terms of performance, I have never been fitter or stronger and I'm no spring chicken!! Trust is a huge thing for me with coaches and I never doubted David's once. This was due to his genuineness as a person and a coach.

On the team side of things, he not only has the team injury free all year and the fittest they ever were, he also bonded the team together like never before. Every training session was different, enjoyable but always goal orientated. His respectfulness for everyone spread through the team in our sessions and his clear communication of everything we had to do suited both the beginners and the lads that had gym work done before.

Using his unique leadership, he developed not just players ability but also their character and personal development. I have worked with many S and C coaches and have yet to come across anyone as good as David.

I've worked with David for a number of years since 2013. I've been part of a sports team, group trainings(of varying fitness levels) and individual sessions under David and can honestly say his ability to get the best out of everyone in each of these settings is inimitable from my experiences since. His knowledge and ability to relay this knowledge to his clients in a more understanding way/approach is one of the reasons for my continued return. David's sessions were always diverse and well thought out to suit each individual and he has always been both professional and approachable. The results that I achieved while working with David were noticed by many, but I also found that along with my improved physical appearance and fitness levels, my mental 'toughness', mindset and approach improved dramatically. David takes on board everything you hope to achieve and creates the best possible programme to suit each individual, although tough, he gets the best out of everyone as a result of his dedication and commitment to his clients. A genuine person with unrivaled passion for what he does, top class!
