  • I highly recommend Dave DiFabio as a personal trainer for anyone looking for a training program catered to their specific needs and abilities. I am a bariatric patient and started working with Dave when I was over 300 pounds and wanted to get healthier to minimize the risks of surgery. In addition to the weight issue, I had balance problems due to my size and lack of coordination. Unlike other personal trainers that I tried, Dave was able to create sets of exercises to meet my abilities and needs while being understanding and non-judgmental. For a large woman, encouragement and patience are vital. Dave’s workouts are challenging without being overwhelming. As you get better and more confident with each exercise, he adds to it in order to keep it challenging and motivating.

    After
  • I have been coaching soccer at Rutgers for 28 years. During that time I have worked with many strength, fitness, speed and agility coaches, but I have never worked with anyone who brings the best out of athletes the way Dave does. He has a great way about him that allows him to challenge the athletes to be the best, while always making it fun, yet intense. I have him train my son and that’s probably the highest compliment I can give him. Bob Reasso Men’s Varsity Head Coach Rutgers University Scarlet Knights
  • "I strongly recommend Dave DiFabio to anyone interested in achieving a peak level of physical performance. Dave started training my two soccer playing sons about a year ago. Within three to four months, the difference in both sons' athletic ability was obvious to anyone who had seen them both before and after Dave worked with them. One son is now an NCAA Division I college soccer player and the other is a first team all-county high school soccer player who is being heavily recruited by a number of college soccer coaches. Dave didn't give my sons soccer talent, but his well researched, sport-specific training program has been a key factor in helping my sons reach their true athletic potential."
