David Silva Fitness

I trained with David Silva and his trainers at David Silva Fitness for almost 2 years. Apart from the fact that it was very well equipped facility, what was even more appealing was that it was closed private facility, which meant that it was never crowded. This was the first time I was getting a trainer and boy was it a good idea, David with all his trainers, insured that my motivation continued beyond the first week of training. Him, David Silva, was personally there, even when I was training with another trainer, day in and day out making sure that I did my cardio after the session and had the right meals. He would always find ways to pump my spirit. There were times when I wanted to give up on working out, but the way the whole crew instructed me kept me going through to the end. Without any exaggeration, David Silva changed the way I work out. Earlier I used to workout out to burn all the non healthy food I had, but now working out is more than running for 45minutes. I lost significant pounds and built good upper body muscle with David and his crew. Only in 4 weeks I could see the results and felt stronger. After training with David I am set on the path of being fit for life. For anyone who hasn't trained before and is not sure about the idea of personal training, David Silva is the best trainer out there. I now look forward to going to gym and feel much more confident with my beach body.\r Pros: Dedicated Trainer, Private Facility, Good atmosphere, Great People\r Cons: He is still in Miami, I am not anymore. more

Thank you David Silva for doing what you do! The time I spent with you as a personal trainer allowed me to realize my body image goals. Never before so fit! You're motivational skills along with body mechanics, nutritional advice, and kick ass technique helped me transform my body to its ultimate form. Keep doing what you do! Thank you for your professionalism and ethical behavior as well. You sir, are a professional (and I'm not even a celebrity (nor a wannabe)) Thanks again, Have a great day Pros: Mad Skills more

I have great news for those who are missing David Silva Fitness on Arthur Godfrey. Unfortunately, David had to close the gym about a year and a half ago and someone else has taken over the space. However, I found David again. He is now training at David Barton Gym. I am very excited as David has been the best trainer I haver ever had. I have never met anybody so dedicated to his clients. I trained with him during my pregnancy and I highly recommend him for specialized situations. He is very familiar with the limitations and restrictions you may have during pregnancy and doesn't let you take unnecessary risks. There are not a lot of people I would trust my health and my daughter's with, but David is definitely on the list. Pros: Best trainer Cons: no longer on Arthur godfrey more

You know, the previous review sounds so good - it really does - in fact, it's what brought me to this trainer in the first place. Unfortunately, it's clearly not true. I was working out with this trainer for more than a year, and during that time, I saw none of these models - instead, I saw a business that was quickly going down the tubes, primarily because the owner - David Silva - was just awful. I can barely communicate just how bad he was, but I'll try. Here goes:\r \r (1) I learned he has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder - when you would workout you needed to use his towels and needed to make sure the logo was pointing up! Amazing.\r (2) He was a clean freak. I actually saw him freak out once because there was dirt on the floor. Another time I was told he went around vacuuming (sp?) everyone's shoes! (This is not a joke, it apparently really happened.)\r (3) he has VERY poor training skills - I heard he injured a few people.\r (4) Hygiene - not good. He had very bad breath and also would stink up the entire gym when he went to the bathroom. Sad, but true.\r (5) Clients. Over a little more than a year, I saw people leaving him left and right. \r (6) Reality. He doesn't even own this gym!!! He went bankrupt in 2001 - his sister owns everything. And then about a year ago, he stopped paying his rent and was evicted!!!! He now works at David Barton, where I've heard the other trainers can't stand him - he's like 30 years older than everyone (nearly 50) and totally obnoxious.\r (7) Rip-off: He ripped off many clients - and one is taking to him to court for thousands of dollars.\r (8) Alleged Pedophile? Amazing, but true. He was arrested for molesting a young boy. In the end, there wasn't enough evidence, so the case was dismissed. Go figure.\r \r This guy is BAD NEWS on every level. Basically, he's a poor trainer who's also a con artist. Do a little research and you'll see this is true. Good luck! Pros: When he had the gym, it was beautiful Cons: So many cons it's amazing more

Amazing personal service, fabulous and eficient fitness programs. All models I work with, friends and families go to David Siva's. If you need a fast, fun and healthy body change, call them up. You will find out the ""No pain no gain"" is not really true. It can be fun and fast results come faster than you expected. When you cross the white curtains you forget that you are walking into a gym, exercising in an charming and very pleasant place like that make you feel like you are in any other place but in any gym you ever been before in other part of the world. MMS. Pros: professionalism, results, very clean and pleasurable place to be. more
