I've been lucky enough to train at a number of different gyms throughout Ottawa over the years. I can confidently say that David is the only personal trainer that will truly wow you and show just how much you can achieve with personal training. It's a simple concept but one no other fitness business in the city really follows: do what get results. And David will help you get those results faster and more consistently than anyone else. If you're thinking about getting your feet wet, try one of the strongman classes - by and far the best class you'll ever do. Overall, it's a truly world class personal training, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you miss out.

I have been going to Point One Performance for a little over a year and the results I have seen have been phenomenal. Dave is an excellent personal trainer and coach, he has depth of knowledge that is unsurpassed by the normal trainers you work with. Everyone is welcome at the gym and everyone is committed to working hard and achieving their goals. Traditionally group training is not always equally challenging to everyone however Dave and his team work hard to ensure everyone is on track to achieving their goals. At the gym you will come across professional athletes, those that are extremely fit and those that are recovering from illness and injury all of them are supported and their needs are taken into consideration. He has personally given me the confidence to challenge myself and become stronger. In turn I truly look forward to working hard and pushing my limits to achieve new goals. I would not hesitate in recommending Dave and his team to anyone who is serious about investing in their health and wellness.

Conveniently located, excellent facilities, experienced and personable coaches. Po1nt One has a unique approach to your health and fitness that makes it the premier gym in Ottawa. It is their attention to personal details that allow for a truly customized experience. I can't thank Shaun enough for the amazing, quick and consistent results.

Dave is the Program Design King!! Unfortunately, I can’t train with him in person, but he holds me accountable remotely, and makes sure I’m doing what I “need” to do, not what I “want” to do. He holds you to the highest standard, and makes sure you’re continuously progressing towards a stronger, healthier, more confident future self. I highly recommend hiring Dave as your online coach - no matter the shape (you think) you’re in.

Best money I have ever spent. I've trained for sports before with post secondary school but nothing I have ever done compared to the level of training I received from Dave. Dave blew my expectations away in terms of results; he pushed me everyday I worked with him. Dave knew what I was capable of doing even when I didn't, his motto says something about being about results not promises and he sticks by it. On top of what he can help you accomplish in the gym he also show that he cares about your over all health outside of the gym, hes one of the smartest people I know and he's taught me a lot in just 14 weeks. I can't wait to see what he has planned for me moving forward because theres no chance I'm going back to any commercial gym after this experience.

I would like to give 5 stars to Dave , my trainer, whom I have been working out with for over a year. He is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with. He is successful with all age groups, From beginners to professional athletes, designing individualized workouts . He is also able to help if injury occurs doing a sport, allowing you to get back very quickly to your full workout. Each workout brings me to my next goal. Thanks Dave.

After having ankle surgery, I worked with Dave in both one-on-one and group Strongman training sessions and was extremely impressed by his ability to motivate and challenge me, as well as rehabilitate my ankle to where it was pre-surgery in both range of motion and strength. Dave has a thorough understanding of how the body works and takes a holistic approach to health and fitness that is unique and effective. I really enjoyed working out at his gym and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer or a new challenge in their workouts!

Point One Performance is an incredible place to train! I have been training with Dave for several years and it has allowed me to come back quickly from injuries, prepare for my athletic goals, and improve my overall health and wellness. I would recommend Point One to anyone that is serious about improving their health and physical training.

I met David back in 2014 in a seminar with world renown strength coach Charles Poliquin in Dubai. Before and ever since have I met any other coach who can reach the level of knowledge, commitment and work ethic David is at. Whether you are a normal person wanting to lose fat and live a healthier and stronger life, an executive wanting to achieve ultimate performance physically and mentally or an athlete wanting to rehab and achieve peak performance then give David a try, you’ll be amazed how fast you will achieve your results.

The difference in my 15 yr old son's strength since he started with Shaun is very noticeable - especially to him! Shaun is great at motivating and encouraging the kids, and identifying what adjustments need to be made to help meet goals safely. Great experience and great results!

Very professional! I met Dave on December 2019, and have been training with him and Shayan since then. I’ve made a huge progression even during that challenging pandemic period. They always have a plan. I would not hesitate to recommend!

My only regret with Point One is that I didn't find it sooner in life. I have been training with David 3 times a week consistently for the past 6 months and It's not a hyperbole to say that he's changed my life. He has delivered the results that I wanted plus addressed training shortcomings I didn't even know existed, by doing so he has set me up for immediate and future success. He pushed me when I doubted myself and allowed me to train far past what I was able to do on my own. After any given workout it was a given that I would leave the gym smiling, the workouts were just that good and challenging and with David in your corner you knew you were going to get it done. I am continuously impressed by his knowledge, instructional ability and drive to get you the results you are investing in. I highly recommend 1-1 training as well as the group fitness classes on offer. After trying numerous group fitness class in Ottawa and other cities, David's is the only one where you will see results faster. Over this time he has not only been my trainer but also lifestyle coach for his knowledge of health extends well beyond just fitness. His energy is quite literally contagious and his team of trainers are all experts in their fields. Whether you are pro, have injuries, need help with eliminating bad habits, Point One should be number one on your radar. I can safely say Point One is the only place I will recommend and keep going back to.

My Trainer Erika is fantastic! In the first couple months of training I am already seeing results, feel physically stronger, and mentally motivated to push through my fitness challenges. The atmosphere in the gym is supportive, encouraging and not at all intimidating. Which is nice compared to the big box gyms I have tried in the past. I also appreciate how the Owner Dave takes a personal interest in every clients success. Thanks Point One Team!!

Point One was an amazing experience. This is not your run-of-the-mill gym, but a professional strength conditioning and training facility with top notch trainers. I'm an older gentleman (late fifties) and although in decent shape, I've struggled with a few physical issues over the years. Point One completely tailored my sessions to my weekenesses and built on my strengths so I could see and feel progress literally week to week. As they say, you get what you pay for. Without a doubt, this is a top of its class facility. David the owner has a wealth of knowledge for building strength and maintaining it. My personal trainer Erica was incredible, extremely motivated, energetic and enthusiastic at every moment. They work you hard within boundaries so you see development quickly. If you're looking for a better way to get in shape with consistency and dedication, look no further than Point One.

Results-focused. Have been working with Point One for a few years and am grateful for their relentless pursuit of results for me. I'm in my forties and a desk worker. I have eliminated all body pain, improved my athleticism (arguably as athletic as I've ever been) and have replaced my body fat with lean muscle mass. Thanks to Dave and team for all their support and encouragement. I should also note that, while I've worked hard, it's also been fun.

My fitness routine needed an extra push after taking a hit during the pandemic so I signed up for the Strongman program - or in my case, "Strongwoman" ;) I had done very little strength training before, but the program allowed me to ease into it comfortably, and Dave and his team coached the group through exercises with care and expertise. The classes felt more challenging as I progressed, but I continued to feel stronger as I went on. I would highly recommend this program.

The best gym in Ottawa. End of story. Coming off of multiple sports injuries/surgeries, as well as cancer treatment, I was shown the utmost kindness and compassion by Dave and Erika. I have been a client for 6 months and I am in the best shape of my life. If you’re serious about training or looking to make a lifestyle change, this is the gym to join.

Dave takes his role very seriously, he is informed and helpful. He will work with you to reach so that you will continuously improve. I would recommend him, and his gym to anyone looking to put in the work to achieve your fitness goals.
