David has helped me tremendously when I had a frozen shoulder- he worked with me by guiding me through exercises to relieve pain and stiffness. The results were increased movement and overall flexibility. His massages are also amazing.

My rehab journey with David has been fantastic. I love his knowledge base - it makes him a great guide. He has this amazing ability to move you from recovery to feeling fit again effortlessly, which is a real gift. I would highly recommend David to anyone who needs to improve their physical health.

David Fernandez has been my personal trainer, 3 days/week for the last 6 months.
David was recommended to me by a friend who had been involved in a bad motorbike accident and needed specialist, focused rehabilitation to stay agile and flexible.
I too, started with David at 60yo, suffering from 2 chronic injuries (knee & neck), poor overall conditioning and a hatred of gyms 🙄
David worked with me to design a results based program making attending the gym enjoyable and productive.
David's knowledge & education is vast as are his explanations as to the purpose of the exercises implemented. Fortunately he does repeat these explanations as retaining science related information is not my forte.
Outcome: In 6 months, I have lost 10kg (which actually wasn't a goal), learnt a series of 'form' correct strength exercises (which have improved my posture, flexibility tone and gait) and formed a habit of attending the gym regularly and eating more healthily - although I do like a good pudding 😉RECOMMENDATION: I highly recommend David Fernandez as a professional, educated mature personal trainer, who has patience, is results focused and overall is a really good guy and good conversationalist.

David is more than a personal trainer, he is an expert in helping people with complex medical issues. His in-depth knowledge of anatomy has been invaluable to me and has provided tangible treatment outcomes. I have been seeing him for over a year now and the improvements to my overall health have been significant. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking genuine rehabilitation.

Thanks to David’s support, after just 6 months I am moving and feeling well again, regaining strength and confidence after several years living with inflamed and weak joints due to PMR, and subsequent osteo arthritis.

David combines his expertise in body mechanics, with his ability to understand and design, and take me through a routine tailored specifically to my needs. David makes me feel he is also committed to my recovery, teaching and monitoring how I do each activity along with clearly explaining the purpose of each of the activities in a way I understand and take on board.

I was referred to David by my husband and daughter, who have both benefitted from David’s expertise over several years.

My whole family highly recommend Recovery Fitness and Rehab and David for anyone seeking a holistic approach to your health and fitness needs.

David is a wonderful trainer and a pleasure to train with. I have several medical conditions and David always makes sure that whatever exercise I am doing, that I know how to do it correctly, that it is not beyond my ability and that it's not going to injure me further. David has helped get me walking again and helped me strengthen the muscles around my joints so that my arthritis is not aggravated. David's knowledge and expertise is second to none and his manner is totally professional. I would highly recommend Recovery Fitness and Rehab to anyone who has suffered an injury or an illness and really needs a trainer who totally understands the difficulties you face in trying to recover your health and movement.

I met David ten years ago after suffering an accident that caused me to have two surgeries and be on crutches for over six months. David helped me to return very quickly to the physical lifestyle that I had previously enjoyed. Ten years on, I still look forward to my training sessions with David each week. I highly recommend him as a rehab trainer but since recovering from my accident, as a trainer who will ensure that you are the very best version of yourself that you can be, no matter what age you are. David is a wealth of information on all aspects of exercise, diet and associated matters. In ten years there hasn't been a question that I have posed to him that he hasn't been able to answer! I recommend David very highly to enable you to achieve whatever your goal may be.

I suffered a catastrophic spinal injury in 2001 and have been left with incomplete quadriplegia. I was of the belief that after 20 years I had reached my full physical abilities with my injury. Since working with David I now realise I was wrong. David has an outstanding skills set, and knowledge on the widest range of rehabilitation techniques. His years of education and training have left him with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the human anatomy and the many physiological and neurological issues it may encounter. He combines this with a warm and calm demeanour which makes every session enjoyable. I could not recommend anyone better than David for all rehabilitation and fitness needs.
