Nearly 10 years ago I walked into a gym - middle aged, overweight, totally unfit - and met Darcy. I knew I wanted to get fit but didn't know how to go about it. Darcy took me on as a client and I never looked back. Darcy was patient yet demanding. I enjoyed every workout - and no 2 were the same! I credit Darcy with my new level of fitness and my renewed health! Don't know how to get started? Talk to Darcy!
I began my training with Darcy while I was preparing for a 70.3 Ironman. I’ve always enjoyed working out but have never had a great knowledge base around weight training. Darcy was always welcoming and kind and taught me so much about proper mechanics using a variety of gym equipment. The workouts built upon one another, always with changes to keep things interesting, fun and challenging. I’d highly recommend Darcy as a trainer to anyone wanting to stay injury-free and see positive changes in body mechanics and composition.
I first started training with Darcy in the fall of 2017. My goal was to get in the best physical shape for my wedding. I also wanted someone to motivate me and challenge me. Darcy was professional, incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I learned weightlifting exercises for almost every muscle group that I had never seen before. Each session provided a full-body workout. I continued to work-out with Darcy even after he got me in top-notch shape for my wedding, as I really enjoyed each session. They were filled with amazing energy and encouragement. As a physician, my schedule can be quite unpredictable at times, and I really valued Darcy’s flexibility in scheduling. This was a huge bonus. If you are considering a personal trainer who is highly knowledgeable and has a ‘practice what you preach’ mentally, Darcy is the trainer for you. He truly cares about his clients and will get you results.
Not only is Darcy a dedicated professional who cares about his client’s success, he is very knowledgeable. As a physician I have been consistently impressed by his knowledge and that he reliably keeps up to date with exercise and nutrition science. I have learned so much from him and still use the knowledge and strategies he has taught me. I have recommended him to several friends and I would again.
Darcy has literally changed my life. 50 pounds is what we've taken off my frame since our first workout 3 years ago! What amazes me is that he continually comes up with new exercises! He's constantly studying his craft and well...have you checked out HIS body? Always fun, my workouts are automatic now - they are part of my changed healthier lifestyle under Darcy's patient leadership. Not only will he keep you safe in the gym and free from injury, he's quick to identify any imbalances you may have and believe me when I say he will have a plan to fix them! Hire this man and let him guide you to a healthier and happier you!
Working out with Darcy has been a revelation. Not only does he tailor each session to my particular quirks and needs based on his vast knowledge and experience, he challenges you but makes it fun by switching it up every sesh for the past 3+yrs!
He has been pushing me beyond my limits, keeping it fresh with his humour and enabling me to pursue a healthier lifestyle.
