I highly recommend David's services. He showed me an incredible amount of dedication and flexibility to help me achieve my health goals. He was able to accommodate my relatively limited diet and I was able to make progress even when I injured myself. He helps makes lifestyle advice to achieve goals rather than diets that will fade. I am incredibly happy with his services and am confident that I can keep these changes going. My health changes: On May 8th vs Sept 9 Weight 178- 154 Body fat 21.4% - 15.5% Waist 34 - 31 Also my blood results have significantly improved in most metrics and better than they've been in two years. read more

The bike tour company described it "THE CHALLENGE OF A LIFETIME"--625 miles (1000k) over two mountain ranges in the Canadian Rockies in 7 days. Total climb of 36,000 feet. Daunting no doubt, especially for my 71 year old father. Without David's training and nutritional advice over the last two months, he would not have been able to complete let alone enjoy the challenge. Every day he gained strength by following David's coaching and recommendations. Plus equally important, were David's constant positive reinforcements in the weeks leading up to the ride. David provides a rare combination of quantitative and qualitative inputs required for success and like biking in mountains, knows when to push and when to coast. read more

David is knowledgeable and authentically compassionate with his clients. My benefits of working with David were far beyond weight loss.

David is amazing! He changed my life, and I'm so very grateful I got to work with him. Yes, I lost a lot of weight, but I'm most grateful to him for helping me change my mindset. David has a true gift for coaching, for helping you define what you want most, and helping you achieve it. He is fully engaged and committed to you and your success, and is serious and knowledgeable about living well. He's very supportive, communicating daily and meeting in person at least weekly. He's also a lot of fun to work with, and the most positive and inspirational person I've ever met. David is smart, caring, and effective, and his unique process works! I'd glowingly recommend David to anyone who is ready to make a change and see results. read more

If you are serious about constructing a lifestyle that will help you live your life to the fullest work with David.

Prior to meeting Dr. David Speechly, I had developed unhealthy life patterns that are so easy to fall into due to all the responsibilities of work and having a family. I tried for the past ten years to lose weight, live a healthier lifestyle, and get in great physical shape. At times I would lose a few pounds, and get in better shape, but then fall back into the same old unhealthy routines. And like so many people my age (41 years old) I was an absolute pro at attributing my weight gain, increased blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and overall bad health to getting older and leading a very busy lifestyle. I am an extremely competitive person and through hard work and dedication I have always been able to achieve my personal and professional goals. However, getting healthier was one thing I could not get control over no matter how hard I tried. I could not break the unhealthy habits I had been practicing, and most of Americans practice, every day. And it just becomes so easy to justify and rationalize your weight gain because, if you look around, most people are not in good physical shape and everyone blames it on getting older, their busy schedule, or stress. But this all changed when I met David Speechly. Six weeks after my first meeting with David, I achieved the following results: ******************************* LOST 30 LBS (205LBS TO 175LBS). BODY FAT DROPPED FROM 22% TO 12% CHOLESTEROL DROPPED OVER 30 POINTS (241 TO 208) BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPED FROM 140/90 TO 125/75 LDL (BAD CHOLESTEROL) DECREASED BY ALMOST 40 POINTS TO 115, AND MY HDL (GOOD CHOLESTEROL), WHICH WAS ALREADY HIGH, INCREASED TO 81 ENORMOUS INCREASE IN ENERGY ******************************** My only regret is that I did not meet David earlier (and that it is not warmer out so I can take my shirt off at the pool without offending people )!!! As you can see from the results, David literally changed my life. And no I didn't starve myself, or stop drinking alcohol completely, or count calories. David and I actually rarely even talked about the foods I was eating. He didn't make our meetings about the weight loss. The weight loss was just a result of habits and simple principles that David helped me to adopt and incorporate into my busy life. Through his constant attention and coaching, David helped me to achieve goals that I had been trying to attain for the past decade, within weeks. And he made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and go see for yourself how easy it is to get in the best shape of your life and sustain it, without counting calories, and enjoy doing it. Never would of thought in a million years that I would be in the best shape of my life at 41! And this is only just the beginning of my empowerment! I have a completely different mindset and have a complete understanding of what I was doing wrong before, and I am confident I will not go back to those disempowered patterns that hurt me so much read more

I met David last year as another local Danville business owner and I have to say that he relentlessly walks the talk! I have listened to him speak on several occasions, one in particular to a group of about 40 or so 13 year old young ladies. What an impact on their lives as they are just entering their teenage years and trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be... very motivating to say the least! His passion for guiding others, for living well and just plain & simple excellence in life is unlike anyone I have ever met. Thanks David! read more

David brings a truly diverse experience to the table. His background as a PHD in Metabolic Physiology and deep understanding of nutrition are brought to bear in every consultation, whether for groups or individuals. His MBA and success as an executive in the biotech space give him the tools needed to help guide others towards achieving their own goals both in fitness and nutrition as well as in other areas of their lives. He really understands what it means to set goals and achieve them and knows how to teach others to do this for themselves.
