Update on Cami.
I have trained with Dave Ruff for three years now. He has achieved what other gyms could not. I have a stocky body that is hard to lean out because I gain muscle fast. In my first yr, I went from a size 12 to a size 10. My second, from a size 10 to a size 8. And now from a size 8 to a size 6. I have amazing strength and endurance. And I feel strong physically which helps me feel strong mentally. I am 42 yrs old and I intend to continue training. I am so proud of how Dave has changed not only bodies but, minds. Daily there are people of all ages in the gym beside me. And all of them are happy with their results. We each have an athlete in us - today I can say, I have found mine.
It is become a life style for me. I know that when I go to the gym for just one hour - I will feel better for the rest of the day. So even when I don't feel like going: I go anyway. Thank you DAVE.

Thanks to Dave Ruff I am constantly be challenged and pushed in a positive and encouraging manner. He is professional, very knowledgeable and cutting edge in his approach when training each individual. He has been very instrumental in the achievement of my fitness goals, from adventure races to long runs on the canal, he is always ready to help me with my next challenge. I have been training with Dave for 5 years and have become more confident in every aspect of my active life. Kathleen M.

All I can say is that Dave is the best around. He is my trainer, therapist and friend. I considered myself to be very fit when I first started working out with Dave over 2 and 1/2 years ago. But he has taken me to a level where I can achieve anything. I'm now stronger, faster and in the best shape of my life... At 39!!! Dave is and will always be a positive force in my life.
