Dave Cunning

Training & Qualifications:

• BCRPA Certified Personal Trainer

Dave competed as competitive hockey player from the age of 5; including playing as a professional for one season in Europe, 4 seasons of college hockey in Saskatchewan for Briercrest College in the ACAC, and a season of junior hockey for the Creston Thundercats of the KIJHL.  He’s also previously coached with Okanagan College of the BCIHL, and currently coaches with Okanagan Hockey School, and the Hockey Canada Skills Academy.  Dave’s passion for playing translated into that for training others, stemming from his own training days as a player.  Hockey training taught him the dedication and drive that is necessary to make physical improvements, as well as the value of motivation; having someone with you in the gym to push you to lift those extra two reps, challenge you to throw that extra 5 lbs on the bar, and keep you actually coming to the gym regularly is often the difference between improving and not.  Working with someone educated in the field of fitness affords you the ability to train smarter, and will undoubtedly get you where you want to go, faster.  As a certified BCRPA Personal Trainer, Dave hopes to be able to inspire and push you to reach and/or exceed your own personal training goals, and maximize your potential within your unique field of performance – whether you are training for a sport, or other fitness aims.  In addition to training certifications, Dave also has a B.A. in General Studies from Briercrest College, NCCP Theory I & II, and First Aid/CPR certifications.

• Fit 4 Two Pre and Post Natal Fitness Specialist
  
  

I am an avid runner and enjoy suspension training and any style that will achieve results in an effective, fun and creative way. As a personal trainer I enjoy working with all levels of fitness and all types of goals from weight loss to athletic, I’m fascinated with what we are capable of achieving. I get just as energized as my clients when we create a specialized program, tailored to personal interests and health needs that produce great results.

With a focus on personal health and fitness both pre- and post-pregnancy, I work with you to achieve/exceed your personal goals. I believe that just as every pregnancy is unique, everyone follows a personal path towards improved health and fitness, so I tailor our sessions to meet your needs. When exercising on your own isn’t working, the best solution is often a personal trainer who understands what your body needs. I will help keep you motivated and committed to your health, and with a little hard work you will see results.

“Real success is measured by making your health a priority,
find time for fitness so that you don’t have to waste time on illness.”
