Life-Changing 30 Days!

Thank you to David and the team for an amazing 30 home training plan. I turned 40 midway through and am new to this type of training but would now say I'm near the best shape of my life. I've never liked gyms, or gym-people, but the coaches, coaching and community fostered by David and the team have converted me. I wish I had found something like this twenty years ago!

David Kingsbury is the Best Trainer Anyone Could Ask For

I have been a customer of David’s for years and plan on continuing to use his services for as long as humanely possible. On top of providing customized workouts and meal plans that work, he’s there for me at a moments notice to help. I have never worked with someone as devoted to his craft as David. He’s been there for me every step of the way and with his help, I was able to get in the best shape, mentally and physically of my life. David is second to none!

Best training and diet I've ever had

I'm following Davids online beyond program for a year now. I came across David when I was getting into training again and read an article from Hugh Jackman in Muscle&Fitness.

When I found myself almost giving up for not getting the results I wanted and trying every weird diet there is, not being really motivated anymore, I decided to subscribe to Davids Kingsbury online training.

David has a very basic, no nonsense training schedule, In wich you have a saying what equipment you have, what you're maun goal is. Through a good tracking system every week, in wich you fill in your weight and results from that week, from sleeping to eating to training ,David can measure you're results and make some adjustments if needed. It's brilliant and David moslty replies in 12 hours or sooner with me.

Then there 's the food. You can choose between vegetarian or carnivore in your meals and let me tell you, they're delicious. Simple recipes, all fastly done in 10-25 mins and calculated into your macros, depending how much calories you consume, in wich David helps you check whats best suited for your plan.

Even now in Covid-19 period, David keeps me motivated when I feel my own motivation is lower then normal and his recipes keeping me healthy and on track with my weight.

I really recommend David if you want to have a fun basic training system from 3-4 days a week, delicious meals wich make you look like a good cook and getting results in a normal no nonsense way.
Like Hugh Jackman said "This is the best trainer ever worked with. You're in safe hands"

I came across David Kingsbury while…

I came across David Kingsbury while browsing the internet by the pool on holiday last summer .i had been training for years without any direction and was spending hour after hour in the gym with little change to my physique .
Returned from holiday & requested a call from David who explained the process & what i could expect to see . i immediately signed up to a 12 week Beyond plan .that was september .
i received my plan , recipes & diet within a few days & set to work , hard work .After 16 weeks on Beyond and a couple of new workout plans & macros being adjusted throughout i was in quite literally the best shape of my life at 53yrs old . abs , obliques on show dropping my bodyfat to around 10-12% . (the before and after photos have my family & friends amazed ) this included 3 work trips into europe & the xmas binge (2 days )
Once i got the first 4 weeks out of the way i started to fully trust the process as i could see the change, but for me the accountability of checking in every week & knowing the support is on hand ensures you stay consistent .i continue to work with David & am now on a lean bulk phase and enjoying it . i would not hesitate to recommend David as an online coach . he is committed to delivering the results we would normally dream of .

Excellent service, visible results + good food!

I’m a client now for more than three years and I guess that sums it up. No more occasional PT sessions from local gyms where, sad to say, the quality and service often leaves room for improvement. David’s always there for support, training can be tailored to one’s needs, goals and time available. And what’s also very important, to take into account possible injuries or other limitations. Plus there are plenty of excellent recipies to choose from. There’s just one problem: Batch cooking is hard when the wife comes and wants a share.
Definitively worth every penny!

David Kingsbury - is simply the Best ;)

David Kingsbury - Thank you!!! You changed not just my life - but my outlook on fitness and nutrition forever ;)

I signed on with David after reading about him in 2016. Since then, I have seen my results in 12 weeks and kept on signing back with him.
He inevitably changed my lifestyle as I incorporated his workouts and meals to my daily life.

The meals were easy to make, the options are many and tasty (I might add), and you can find the ingredient anywhere. Nutrition I found was the biggest part of this journey - and with his meals I was able to gage how to eat out when there are (of course many) functions and go back to the "meal plan' .

The workouts were just SIMPLE and easy to follow - I was able to get through at my lunch hour on a weekly basis - and the rest was all up to me with the guidance from David when I needed it.

I cant praise David enough - as he HELPS may people achieve what they want....people like me! Thank you David!

Hi Jenn,

Always been a pleasure to work with you, your attuitude to following the plan has been excellent. I think making the food easy to follow is always key to results.

Fitting it around your lifetsyle should always be the priority rather than the other way around.

Thanks again

In the Best Shape of My Life...

They say never meet your heroes... well I definitely have to disagree! I've had the opportunity of travelling to K1 in Beaconsfield to train with David in the most impressive, stimulating environment with the most desirable equipment I've seen. This man has not only trained some of the most well known high profile actors/actresses known in modern day movies... but in my mind, he has trained, advised and built the ultimate physique... the Wolverine, Hugh Jackman.

David has taught me that it is possible to get the body you want... regardless of age, lifestyle and fitness level. My main downfall before meeting David was that I labelled every goal with ‘6 weeks’... and when those 6 weeks had gone, I would beat myself up that I sometimes hadn’t fully achieved them... the reality is that fitness goals take time, a solid routine and consistency. I have thoroughly benefitted over the last 5 years by following David’s nutrition plan, fitness plan, advice and immense knowledge... and will definitely continue to do so.

At 42 years of age, I'm currently in the best condition of my life! I can most definitely assure you that online training does work! Thanks for everything David!

The Best in the Business

I've been working with David via his online Beyond training program for a little over 3 years. It has been a revelation. If you only read the first paragraph, know this: It has been a phenomenal experience, worth many times what I've paid for it. It's been my most successful investment, and I would recommend David to anyone who wants to take control and get serious about fitness.

David takes great care of his clients. With the Beyond program, I receive tailored training based on my goals. He listens to your feedback, motivates you and makes adjustments when necessary. I've never had a question go unanswered or an email that hasn't been responded to.

Every phase I've done with David has challenged me, both physically and mentally. I'll admit there have been times I've looked at a new program and wondered if I was capable of it. But David asks that you 'trust the process', and he has a talent for knowing my limits better than I know them myself. Each new phase has brought success.

The meal plan you are presented with is the best I've ever seen. You are provided with an embarrassment of options for every meal, with custom calculated calories and macros that are adjusted as needed. Honestly, the meal plan alone is worth the price of the program. It is insanely good.

I turned 50 this year, and I am in the best physical shape of my life. All credit goes to David. I've tried other programs, but David provided me with a comprehensive structure and a supportive environment to work within. To call it a plan doesn't really do the service he provides justice. The physical training, meal plans and support are more than the sum of the individual components.

I honestly can't say enough about David. It's pretty amazing that anyone can have the opportunity to work with one of the best trainers on the planet. If you supply the discipline and the hard work, and trust the process, the results will come.

Hi Derek,

It has been a fun journey so far, I'm so pleased you have enjoyed the process so far. I do try and work hard to make the process enjoyable and the food a pleasure to eat. I think it is the only way to make it maintainable and actually get results.

Your results prove this and I will continue to enjoy training you as we move forward.

Thanks again.

Hands down The Best Value in Fitness.

I’ve worked with David through his Beyond program for two years now, and I can say that the experience has been amazing. David will challenge and support you, and the effectiveness of his programs will astonish you if you put in the work.

In my first 12 weeks training with David I was enrolled in a transformation challenge with Gold’s Gym. Through our work together we placed 1st at the local gym level and 13th in the entire nation in my age group. 24 lbs lost in that period, plus muscle gained. Which shows me we did it in a very efficient manner.

Since that time David has continued to support my training, continuously modifies my program to fit my goals and to ensure progress. The level of motivation, support and customization offered through these plans is bar none.

No review can adequately portray how effective working with David can be. You have to train to really see the beauty of just how easy he makes it to meet your goals.
Fitness is not effortless. It’s hard work. But with David it IS simple and easy. The only thing you have to do is dial in and trust the program and it’s impossible to mess it up.

I highly recommend Kingsbury’s programs. You will meet your goals, learn real lessons about nutrition and training and clear alway any mystification or misinformation you’ve had around effective fitness training.

Wow! What a personal trainer

David is the absolute legitimate font of all knowledge. He puts the "personal" into Personal trainer. His online program, not only offers the right level of challenge for you to meet your goals, but also the ongoing support and guidance from a person who is at the absolute top of the industry. His work simply speaks for itself (Look at Wolverine!). I myself am now 47, in the best shape of my life, and actual enjoy the programs. I cannot recommend David highly enough. If you have hit the limit of what you can do on your own, David will certainly guide you to that next, really unbelievable level.

David Kingsbury - thank you!!

I have used David’s services for approx 18 months. During this time, David has been fantastic.....every four weeks I get a new program, with weekly check in and catch ups via email. Personally I usually email David weekly about training support and he always responds quickly. And the food menu and receipes.......wow - I have never eaten so well. All in all, I can’t praise David enough and I have achieved so much, thanks to his guidance and support. Thank you David Kingsbury!!

Highly Recommended 25kgs Lost with David

The best way I can recommend David is to share my experiences with you and where David has been invaluable to my success. The TL;DR is I would never hesitate in recommending David to anyone as an investment in themselves. I can also be certain that David’s profile isn’t fake as I was lucky enough to train in person multiple times. David is responsive, attentive to detail and supportive with his clients. David is very personable and backs up what he is talking about with research and knowledge from his experience. Many people know David from his film work, for me I stumbled across him accidentally and I liked how he understood the pressures of working hard and being a Dad. David is a top bloke and a top trainer.

In 2013 I walked into a large commercial gym weighing 123kg with a poor handle on nutrition (did not know what a macro was) and not having exercised properly for several years. I started to get a basic understanding of nutrition and started exercising more, but I never broke a habit. I’d lose weight and gain it again and although I tried hard I did not see sustained results for my efforts.

In 2018 I was at 116kg, having probably lost about 40kg in total but gained it back over and over. My lifestyle is hectic, I work over 50 hours most weeks and commute for 4 hours some days. In some ways finding David was the answer I’d been looking for some time.

I’ve used several of David’s services the main one has been Beyond. Within days David provided me with a training plan tailored to me. I have some old injuries and David was able to work around those and substitute exercises that I wasn’t able to do. I send David videos of my form when I was unsure and he quickly responded with help and training points.

The one thing that David balances well is the focus on nutrition and training and takes those into account for you. It’s actually really easy for me now I just have to be accountable and hit my training and nutrition targets.

Overall I’ve lost a sustained 25kg with David and I am moving into a new phase with David where I’ll be focusing on taking the losses further on his plan. I’ve also had several video calls with David where we’ve been able to discuss onward motivation and any changes required in the training/nutrition plans. I’m very happy with David’s training and I am lucky to have him in my corner!

As an extra point to this review during COVID and personal events in the last few months David has been so supportive going above and beyond just being a trainer. The money I have spent with David has literally changed my life.

DAVID KINGSBURY ONLINE COACH - VERY POOR NEW MEMBERS BEWARE

PLEASE NEW MEMBERS BEWARE: I have been happily following one of David Kingsbury’s 8 week fitness programs Super 8-1 - Which David Kingsbury promotes. I requested to join the group, signed up and paid my money. David Kingsbury had the new members introduce themselves and explain what their goals were.

Part of the program was to fill out an online form with all your fitness details like your height, weight, age, and activity level, so David Kingsbury can work out your Daily Calories, Macro Nutrients for your fitness goals. As part of the program you get access to a Menu of Meals based on your Calories and a Workout plan which your told has been worked out for you.

David Kingsbury promised in his Online Marketing information about helping members to reach their Goals and that he promises to motivate members, and regularly posts about the Celebrity Clients he has worked with, which no doubt is why people think is a respectable and Credible coach to help them, Well looks and Clever Marketing can be very Descriptive.

When Super 8-1 started 6 weeks ago David Kingsbury was engaging with the group posting motivational videos and brief info graphics, requesting members post their questions about Nutrition and their Workouts, and he would always been on hand to answer any questions and post information. Unfortunate as the weeks went on questions which were encouraged were left unanswered, there was no engagement from David Kingsbury, when I posted from within the group about the fact that we hadn’t heard anything from him, David messaged me on Messenger to say he would be happy to refund me, if that was what I wanted, but before I had a chance to reply, I was informed a refund had been processed, I was removed from the Super 8-1 Group and after a short conversation David Kingsbury then blocked me on Messenger.

David Kingsbury made No effort to ENGAGE with me or to RESPECT me as a paying member who had been positively engaging with the group for 6 weeks, David Kingsbury showed me No Consideration or Respect, I had been following the Super 8-1 plan and I had 6 weeks invested in this plan not to mention the money I have spent on food to cook the meals on the plan, but this counted for absolutely Nothing!

I Soon as I mentioned in the Group about the lack of engagement from David Kingsbury, And in light of the situation a Group Refund maybe Considered, He contacted me via Messenger offered a refund, then Dumped me out of the group and blocked on Messenger. David made NO Effort to Reassure me or Respect me as a paying member and get things back on track, he just KICKED me out.

And don’t think I was being disruptive either, I’ve been a positive member of the group, the reason the group motivation DIMINISHED was because David QUIT engaging. I worked hard for 6 weeks following the nutritional plan and following the workout plan, and I was thrown out the group purely because I mentioned in the group that we hadn’t had any recent engagement from David Kingsbury.

Please do not be IMPRESSED by David Kingsbury’s Celebrity Credentials, MY EXPERIENCE of David’s treatment of paying Members is APPALLING , rather than David Kingsbury coming forward and saying I’m sorry I haven’t been engaging in the Group and respecting members, David’s response is “ I DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU’VE SAID, SO I’LL THROW YOU OUT THE GROUP, I I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU’VE PUT IN, I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY YOU’VE SPENT on buying food to cook the meals on my plan, especially as it’s been so hard to get the food needed because of the Coronavirus, David Kingsbury JUST DOESN’T CARE!

I didn’t do anything to DESERVE this TREATMENT, and I am quite FRANKLY DISGUSTED 😡

Don’t think just because a person has Celebrity Credentials this is any GUARANTEE YOU will be RESPECTED or TREATED in a COURTEOUS MANNER it isn’t. Please think twice before giving your money to DAVID KINGSBURY as if I had known how I was going to be TREATED I would of found someone else.

I’m really sorry you are so upset and unhappy. You trained as part of the programme for 6 weeks and had been supplied all your custom training and updated food plans plus support for that time.

After 6 weeks the COVID-19 issue happened, so while I was making decision around closing my 2 gyms, I had been in the group less than normal, but all members had their training and food and all was up to date. At this point you asked for a full refund which I did without questions, obviously if you no longer want my service and request a refund you will no longer have access to the group or your account.

There are still over 80 happy people following that training and they have had their Super8 plans extended by 8 weeks at no additional cost, plus giving access to home and band training plans to use at home.

Regards

David
