“Ok - a picture says a thousand words. Start working with DauFit. Dau will set any pace you need to improve the strength in your body. There are muscles you've never even met before. It's fun!”

Length Time: 20 months

Short Term Goal: Improve balance

Long Term Goal: Get ripped

“Dau is one of the very few trainer professionals I've met that has a very good kinesthetic knowledge of movement and the human body. Not only is he good at spotting where a weakness is and where it comes from, he can find an exercise to prove it to you so you can begin to understand where in your body you're not activating muscle(s) well enough.”

Gerald Corsiglia, 37

Length Time: On and Off for 5 years
Frequency: Train 2x week

Short Term Goal: Improve core strength and stability. I have an extra vertebrae (L6) that quickly plateaud my strength training and has caused lower back spasms/pulls over the years.

Long Term Goal: Reinforce good habits to keep my core strength and mobility perminantly conditioned and improve quality of life as I age.

“I kayak a lot and hike with frequency, so I thought I was pretty fit for somebody my age. I had a little "old guy shuffle," and my balance was getting a bit uncertain, but, hey... aging. Dau has changed my life! He DID find those muscles I never used; all 400 of them! I feel I'm shedding years, and might even get out my old skis!”

Short term goal: Keep training

Long term goal: Get up off the floor gracefully with no hands, and keep living.

“Stronger & Motivated… Achieved! I have always been active but I wanted to have someone customize my workout to my body and needs. I started out with Dau’s group virtual classes and then moved to private virtual training soon after. What a big difference to have one-on-one training with someone knowledgeable and always there to educate and explain everything to you. I never thought I could deadlift 135lbs but here I am! Highly recommend to everyone who is looking for a trainer! He is the ‘one’ for you.”

Short Term Goal: stronger and lose weight

Long Term Goal: age gracefully

“When I was diagnosed with adult idiopathic scoliosis after taking x-rays due to sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, I didn’t know much about weight training other than it looked like another way to hurt myself. I am so grateful to have met Dau who taught me all of the exercises that help me with my muscle imbalances, and actively worked with me to improve mobility, stability, and strength. Not only is my body more balanced, but I am also in the best shape of my life. Thank you Dau!”

“In the winter of 2020 I started watching Dau train other people at the gym and his laser focused attention on his clients, not paying any attention to anything going on around then was astounding. But what really caught my eye was his acute focus on his clients FORM. Literally saying ‘lower your left butt cheek… there, closer… okay… PERFECT! Move your left elbow in as you lower your weight… there! Got it!!!!!’ He would watch his clients and move closer to them and reach out while not saying a word and simply tap their back or touch their shoulder… That was all it took for the client to know to adjust. I was hooked. After 3 years, while not perfect, I’ve had people watch me to later come up to me, comment on my form and all I say is; ‘I have the best trainer in the world, here, let me give you his contact info!’ Dau IS the best trainer. Period. Do yourself the best favor you can and start working out with him NOW. Don’t wait. You’ll be glad you did.”

“Since Oct 2020, I’ve been working out with Dau and have truly enjoyed the experience. I have gained considerable improvements in my flexibility, strength and endurance. I can always count on Dau for nutritional information and advice on making the most of my workout time. Dau has a great attitude and he always makes training fun, the most important thing is - Dau makes me believe that I can be better and grow to my greatest potential!”

“Dau is awesome! He takes the time to not just explain and demonstrate how to do an exercise correctly but also explain why it is important and the biomechanics behind it. He consistently pushes me to improve my health and physical fitness.”

“Having a personal trainer is just about one of the best things you could do for yourself. I’m a freelance pianist who sits most of the day. Being trained allows me to not only be active but forces me to think about something other than work. Don’t get me wrong - it IS work, but it’s that great self care ‘my time’ that I reap the benefits from every time I look in the mirror and see continual improvement. There is such an amazing benefit to having someone you trust holding you accountable and learning the techniques that will last a lifetime, should you have the spirit to stick with it!”

David Saffert, 48

Short Term Goal: working on technique and strengthening my right shoulder from prior injury

Long Term Goal: Look like a gymnast and keep those endorphins going!

“When I first started working out with Dau, my goal was initially to lose weight. However, over the last 2 years I've decided to move away from yoyo dieting and focus more on feeling good and strong! It's been so much fun to work with Dau and measure my goals in different ways than just the number on the scale- like increasing how much weight I can bench press or seeing my stamina improve. Dau is a lot of fun to work with and is always thinking of new ways to challenge me.”

Charlotte VanCleve, 32
Length Time: 2 years
Frequency: 2x/wk

Original Goal: lose weight

Long Term Goal: Get strong!

“Everyone wants to lift heavy and look good, but no one knows where to start. I used to be in the same boat, wandering into gyms and leaving because I felt like to much of a novice to touch anything besides a treadmill. But after training with Dau, I have the knowledge and confidence to go up to the squat racks and lift without fear of hurting myself unintentionally! Dau can help you turn ‘I have to go work out’ to ‘I get to go work out!’ I truly enjoy learning new exercises and what they do for me. Having a personal trainer to explain the moves and how it should go takes the frustration and guesswork out of lifting for me.”

Rhees Carlson, 30

Short Term Goal: Learn basic lifting safety

Long Term Goal: Strength 💪🏻

“Training with Dau has been a great experience. I've been a gym rat for years and have worked with trainers in the past, but in 2022 I needed a change. I'd been working off an old strength training program for a few years and wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted, even with putting in the effort 5 days a week at the gym. My mobility wasn’t great, my form was poor and i just wasn’t seeing the gains I expected relative to the effort I was putting in. 6 months after starting with Dau, I’d made more progress than I had in the previous 3 years. Every one of my lifts is stronger (squats, press, deadlift) and I move like a different person. I look and feel better than I have in years, and every month I can say that I‘m improving. I can honestly say that working with Dau has changed my life.”
