David

(USCDB5)
Male, 55 Years Old
Lexington, South Carolina
United States

Qualified To Teach

I am certified in BODYPUMP, BODYSTEP, BODYVIVE and RPM and I am a National Trainer for Les Mills USA in BODYPUMP, BODYVIVE and RPM. I attended the University of South Carolina on a football/baseball schoarship and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I am the proud father of a 22 year old daughter, Lauren, who is a senior Political Science major at the University of South Carlina Aiken and Captain of the cheerleading team.

This is my 33rd year in the fitness industry where my experience includes consulting, management, group fitness management, group fitness instructing and personal training in hospital, corporate and fitness club settings. I have earned numerous fitness certifications through ACE, AFAA, Health Directions, Johnny G Spinning, Nautilus Sports Medical and SCWEDU Pilates during my fitness career. I aspire to be a world class Les Mills Trainer, Presenter and Instructor by sharing my passion for fitness with others and drawing strength from their accomplishments.

One of my life's highlights was a 2 1/2 week visit to Les Mills International in Auckland, New Zealand where I instructed, shadowed and trained with the best in the world. What a privilege! I was also there for all of the filming of the new releases and they ROCKED! It was so exciting to participate with all of the new international Les Mills team members I met. I made so many friends and learned so much that I could hardly wait to share the experience with all of my friends and Les Mills Teammates back in the States. (Ask me about the Peha bush run!)

What's important in my life? Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness and Freedom. Life's High Five!

My motto for fitness: Inspiration through perspiration, Turn It Up with Les Mills!

Kia Kaha!

Kia Ora to everyone from Auckland, NZ, home of LMI and site of the 2008 Les Mills Global Summit. I thought it was big in '06 when I came over but this huge international event has it all: Trainers from countries all around the globe; One Tribe, one goal to change the world; the Prime Minister of NZ (who is a vibrant LMI fitness enthusiast) welcomed us to NZ at the opening ceremonies and it was a non-stop fitness fantasy from there on out.

LIVE STRONG AND LIVE LONG,

David

Hey David,

Hope you are doing Great!
BTW, I am now Officially a Certified BodyVIVE Instructor, YAHOOOO!!!
Here's the pic of us gals at our BV 8 Halloween Launch as the Flower Child of the 70's, could not get the spiral design when we made our tie dye shirts because we used the spray on tie dye paint, it was easier to use and less messier too but it would not come out in a spiral design but we did get a Flower effect which was just as good. Hope to hear back from ya soon when you get a chance.

Hugs, Crazy Carol

Hey David,

Hope you are doing Great! It was so Awesome to see you again and to get to participate with you, Karen & Jan at the Dallas Mania, that was a Blast! I know you are staying very busy with the football season so just though I would say "HI" and to also send you the pic of all of us together at the Dallas Mania. Can't wait to see you again, save a hug for me please. Can't wait till we launch BV 8, it will be on Oct. 18th and the club launch theme is Halloween but us Vivers want to save money by having outfits that we can wear after the launches in our regular Vive classes so we are going as the 60's & 70's Flower Child with either Purple Spiral design tie dye t-shirts and the BodyVive logo or some nicer solid purple shirts with a flower design on the front and of course a Flower painted on our faces. What do you think about Purple Hair?

Hugs, Crazy Carol

Hey David,

I thought I would send you this pic of our BodyVive team for release #7. We just launched BV 7 last Saturday and the Members Loved it!!!! They enjoyed the workout, music and the whole nautical theme idea and of course we added a little bit of nautical decor to the room too. Plus while one of us was presenting with the mic the other three of us would be singing along loud and on key with the music while shadowing all 12 tracks, we are now known as "The Vivettes"! And to keep the Dance Cardio #3 idea we had our very own Rodney Morris, a USA Trainer/Presenter and Rueben M.. LMSC Region Staff & a Viver, dance the Mambo with Eva & I at the end of the track, that was so much Fun too! So we hope you like the pic because we sure liked the release and the theme idea. Thank you for making a difference in all of our lives and others too with this program!!!!

Hope to see ya at the Dallas Mania!!

Hugs, Crazy Carol

Betty	Hoping you are doing well, David!! Really enjoyed the Nashville Quarterly and doing your RPM and BodyVive classes!! We chatted briefly after the BodyVive instructional session--I had done the BodyPump training that you taught in Jacksonville, Fla in 2006. Take care and keep on keepin' on!! BettyC
