Get Stronger, Lose Weight & Be Held Accountable To Your Workouts.

Guess what? You're in luck! My name's Dave. I'm a BCRPA certified Personal Trainer with over 9 years experience as a fitness instructor throughout Vancouver Island.

Here's what my clients have to say:
"I’ve been working 1:1 with Dave for over 10 weeks now and have really enjoyed our time together. Dave makes your workout fun and provides a safe program designed specifically for you and where you are at. But don’t let his gentle demeanour trick you... you sweat and work HARD ... I’ve lost 30+ pounds during our time together and can’t wait to see where I can get to with his ongoing support and encouragement." - Sara. J

What Jen Says:

"I have been training with Dave several times a week for 5 years. Dave’s knowledge of and approach to fitness is well matched with his client centred approach. Dave’s workouts are challenging, interesting, and effective. Dave’s truly focused on a well rounded fitness experience; he mixes cardio, strength and functional fitness together to create a workout session that is fun and rewarding. I have never worked with a fitness professional who is so accessible and body positive. There is no shame or judgement involved in any of his training which is exactly how movement and strength training should be!" - Jennifer. G

As a Strength & Wellness Coach I will encourage you to make healthy choices, promote adequate sleep and recovery and most of all push you to workout harder. It's a no excuses not to exercise situation.

Investment

Getting and staying fit requires an investment in your health. It provides you with a long term solution for many chronic problems. Having a Personal Trainer holds you accountable. Among the clients I train, many are looking to improve weight and gain muscle, safely and efficiently. To accomplish this, I provide workouts at your home and online.

Lifestyle Changes?  Yes and No.

Making nutrition, sleep and training a priority involves changes in habbits. These changes require a long lasting commitment to health, not only having a positive mindset but developing a value system through years of hard work and training so you can keep yourself moving in the right direction.

Does Personal Training Actually Work? 

Absolutely. By combining methods of training, improving one's work capacity while accomplishing goals daily or weekly, you will become familiar with winning. Exercise will become a habit and you will see the results in the mirror and on the field. 

Join My Team Of Clients

Maintaining a healthy body weight and building muscle is an attainable goal. I coach Women and Men seeking health and fitness and who are ready to lose those first 10-20+ lbs.

"An awesome experience! It’s been a wile since working out and Dave was patient with me while I worked on getting my strength back. He is always great about going over technique and proper form and I left feeling empowered and motivated. Thank you so much Dave!"
Jenny. S
"Caring, encouraging, and true to himself! Dave makes extra time to listen, he knows his stuff, and makes fitness fun, safe, and challenging. Bonus, he brings his personality to class with him.  🙂 🙌💪"

Lynn. B
“Before I started the class I felt like I needed to do something about my weight. My energy levels were ok but not good enough and my challenges were trying to get a handle on that. I like that Dave is cheerful and encouraging and he has a really good sense of humour. He is very gentle about making sure that people push themselves farther then they think they can go. I also like that the class size is small and I feel like I will continue with these classes as long as they can offer them.”
Mary. T
"Anyone looking for great fitness results needs to join my boot camp with trainer Dave Carey or setup private training. He knows his stuff and makes it fun. You're worth it send him a private message."


Valerie. T
"Dave's workouts have been a great experience! After finishing the 6 weeks of bootcamp I can honestly say that it has been so worth it. The circuits are always a little bit different so you don't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over. He has a great attitude. I leave class sweating and smiling, and filled with a lot more energy."
Sara. J
I’ve been working 1:1 with Dave for over 10 weeks now and have really enjoyed our time together. Dave makes your workout fun and provides a safe program designed specifically for you and where you are at. But don’t let his gentle demeanour trick you... you sweat and work HARD ... I’ve lost 30+ pounds during our time together and can’t wait to see where I can get to with his ongoing support and encouragement."
Amanda. D
“I came to Bootcamp feeling a bit overweight and not very strong. The challenges that I had before coming to boot camp were recovering from having 2 babies and gaining my strength back. The class is at a really good time of day if you have kids and I needed something that was small and intimate to motivate me. I like the time of day and the group of women that are here and the instructors are wonderful. I feel amazing after doing this class for 10 months I’m strong I can carry my kids up 3 flights of stairs and I don’t have any pains anymore. I would recommend this class to anybody who’s looking for a small group class early in the morning to get your day going right.”
Jimi. N
"I've been training with Dave for 2 months and in that time I've lost 10 Lbs and gone down a whole belt notch."
Kelly. N
"Dave’s Momma and Baby Boot Camp has been a great way to get back into exercising after having a baby. Dave’s classes are a lot of fun and a great way to meet other moms. The convenience of being able to workout without having to arrange for a babysitter has been wonderful. Momma and baby bootcamp has helped me to gain both strength and endurance. It’s a great, fun workout!"
Lesley. H
“I’d always liked to lose weight but it was my smaller consideration that I really wanted to get more fit and have more energy. I wasn’t really doing it very well on my own. It made it easy, to get up in the morning and get here because there’s lots of variety, you make it really interesting. We work with mats, we work with barbells and dumbbells and skipping ropes. and a different variety every time. I feel like my body is just more tightly knitted together and a lot stronger and I’m hoping to keep going and prove that. I think Dave absolutely the best trainer in the world! Dave Carey is a great trainer really makes it fun and works us hard but we don’t really notice it.”
Hannah. G
"Dave's workouts are sneaky. You are having such a good time that you don't realize you are working hard until the next day when you are sore all over. Great trainer who really takes the time to get know you and pushes you to succeed. Was great at accommodating all of our specific needs & injuries. He kept things fresh and fun and we always looked forward to his workouts! Very accommodating to our schedules and our gym space. I felt like I could ask him all of my health and fitness questions without being judged and he always gave me honest and helpful advice. Overall having Dave as our trainer was an awesome experience and I highly recommend him to anyone."
