Dave Parise ( voted one of the Top 15 Trainers in the United States and across Canada)

Dave Parise is a recognized leader in the fitness industry. On the cutting edge of exercise today, he has been voted one of the Top 15 Trainers in the United States and across Canada by the Association for Fitness Professionals, IDEA. Dave has 21 years of experience in Human Performance and Exercise Science.Dave retired from competitive body building to establish a private one-on-one personal training facility in 1986. Discouraged with common gym science and compulsory movements, he set out to change the fitness industry by setting new standards and proper training methods based on the function of one's individual anatomy, not a manufactured machine. I believe that personal experience, and the way an exercise feels, is the furthest thing from anatomical efficiency, joint function, and muscular action. The science behind the movements, correcting posture so the exercise can be performed safely, more efficiently and with less struggle is what I recommend.

Still a keen skier he spends time out in the Alps working with skiers and ski boots alike as well as caressing the odd couloir on a snowy day. His approach to nutrition and lifestyle is all about balancing the bodily systems and functions to work as a compact whole. Is your weight problem linked to food, lack of exercise or is it caused by stress and lack of sleep. There is no one answer to your individual complaints and only by assessing the whole package can you truly return to a healthy you
