"I was seriously strayed from my old workout routines and my new job left me feeling tired and constantly eating on the run and gaining weight. That's when I started doing a buddy workout once a week with a friend and David Smith. Now I have tons of energy and have dropped a lot of extra weight not to mention packing on muscle. I'm feeling great! Thanks David!"

"My Journey with David"
When I discovered one day while shopping for a new pair of pants that I would have to visit the “Big and Tall” shop to get fitted I realized that my weight was out of control and beyond my ability to manage. I was determined to not get bigger pants. I told myself I just needed to eat less and do a little more exercise. For 8 or 9 years I had been going 3 times a week to the Fitness Center’s water aerobics class. I decided I should increase that to 5 times a week which I did. With minimal results. One day David substituted for the class instructor – and I fell in love. With his exercise style. And Speedo. I asked at the desk if they could make him the instructor. No, they said, but he has a class Monday and Wednesday evenings. I was there the following Monday and it was all over. I haven’t missed a class since. But it did not follow that those 7 hours a week was going to get the fat off which was going at about a pound a month. In addition, I had the misfortune of having my right knee give out on me due to arthritis, probably hastened by excess weight. I exercised harder and by November 2013 it was obvious that at that rate of weight loss, it would be two or three Christmases before I would be able to fit into smaller pants.
I talked with David and he willingly accepted the challenge to help a fat old man lose weight. I went to David’s studio on November 21 and we have been working together every Tuesday and Thursday since. My weight loss has taken a dramatic turn for the better, the loss increasing from about a pound a month to a pound a week, and I am down two sizes in my pants waist. My current goal is to go below 200 pounds by the end of March, then 190 and finally 180. With David’s help I will make it. But weight loss is only a part of what David has changed in me. He is encouragement in the flesh, always supportive and expresses a lot of care for my well-being. He has constantly encouraged me to undertake new challenges not only in exercises but in social situations as well and develop in myself a positive attitude about trying things I did not think I could do. As age 84 approaches I believe I am in better physical and mental shape than I have been for several years, for which I credit David. I hope others will take advantage of his wonderful coaching style."

"I love my workout sessions with David Smith. One on one or bootcamps on the weekends are awesome. Great way to get inshape, get a good sweat going, and have a blast doing it."
Eddie H.
"I have never come across a person that wants to do so much good for people. He has so much motivation and does it all with heart and care! You'll get your results and walk away with a smile. Try him and I guarantee you'll be hooked!"
Jesse
"David not only knows what he is doing and how to best meet your needs, he does it with humor and contagious enthusiasm. He has inspired me to change what I have been doing for years and to get back the self I thought was gone. I highly recommend David's boot camps and his one on one personal training!"
Lis
"Comfort Zones are something to get out of. My comfort zone with swimming had a lot more to do with some fears than my inability to swim. In order to move forward, I had to face these in a safe way and splash forward. I've known David Smith for a while and figured if anyone could get me back in the water ... actually swimming ... it would be him. We've just started, and it isn't pretty, but things are coming together .... one slightly uncoordinated dolphin kick at a time."
Stephen
"Had a great time at bootcamp today. As much as I was excited bout it, I was a bit intimidated going into it as well. Although I spend a lot of time in the gym, I usually stay away from most things cardio because of bad asthma. I battle arthritis and and other medical conditions as well but, find it really important to find ways to push my body. Your class was challenging yet I felt comfortable enough to stop and take a breather when needed. I look forward to more Saturday bootcamps with you. Thanks!"
Scott
"David Smith, of Stonewall Fitness, is a pillar of the community. He's super energetic and inspires people to become more than they thought they could. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious! He gives back to the community with his Saturday morning bootcamps, where money isn't an issue if you can't afford the suggested donation. He's in his final semester of college doing his internship. He's a wealth of knowledge and just an all around super nice person. I highly recommend him."
Brandon
"David Smith started Stonewall Fitness with a passion, and he runs it with that passion. He's very encouraging, never judgmental, and always keeps you on your toes (or hands, depending on the exercise). I consider him an inspiration and a lot of fun to be around. He has my highest recommendation!"
David
"I have been lucky to know quite a few Personal Trainers and I have to say David Smith lives his passion for health, fitness, and positive thinking every minute of every day. His positive energy is infectious even when he is kicking your butt into shape. David's energy is inexhaustable, he teaches, trains, works an internship, and still has energy to support his community and offer his big smile and hugs to everyone who needs a boost. David will energize your day while wearing you out and whipping you into shape, you would have a hard time finding a better trainer or person."
Stacy
"Thanks to David Smith and Stonewall Fitness (and a bunch of hard work) I am down 2 dress sizes in 2 months and need to go out tomorrow and buy 2 new formal dresses for my work sales meeting next week. I must have been in denial when I thought I could just wear last year's dress. It's a good problem to have, but I hate dress shopping."
Charles
"If attitudes are contagious, David's is worth catching! When I'm in the Denver area David always welcomes me to swims, boot camp, or anything else that is going on. He will push you to accomplish more with less time while making it fun."
