Hi, my name is Kimberly Bresingham and I am a professional fitness model and figure competitor. Fitness is a huge part of my life so I obviously would not trust just anyone to help me reach my full potential especially in such a competitive industry as fitness. Working with Dave has been amazing. My goal this year is to earn my procard in the IFBB and with my determination and Dave's unbridled expertise I believe that goal will be a reality this year. Dave's knowledge of nutrition, supplementation, and training techniques will be the key to my success. I am one of the fortunate individuals who actually get to train with Dave one on one so I know first hand how effective his techniques are. I have already begun to see changes in my physique that I have not seen while working with other trainers who claimed to be "the best". Dave takes the time to check on my progress, answer any questions I may have, and most importantly he motivates me to become my personal best. So whether you are an athlete, mom, or just someone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle, Dave can set you on the right path to attaining a fit and healthier body and apply those techniques for LIFE! There are many individuals out there who claim they have the magic secret to weight loss and we sometimes fall prey to those individuals either due to lack of knowledge on just how the human body works or we are just so damn desperate to lose the weight that we will try just about anything. Well rest assured, you have come to the right place. Dave has the knowledge and he is ready to share it with those who are ready and willing to join him on the journey, I have come aboard and so far it has been one hell of a ride! Here's to living the dream, thanks Dave you are the best,

Being trained By Dave and having my nutrition, and supplementation designed
to my specific needs is possibly the best thing that could have ever
happened to my bodybuilding career. I have had more gains, and more
losses (in a good way) since training with Dave, than I ever have had! His
programs are designed and tailored to your specific needs and situations; He
puts in account everything down to the "T". It is a pleasure and an honor to
be part of his training, and with this knowledge I can continue this forever
and can only gain from my experience with Dave's training! Thank you for
everything!
Very Respectfully,

My entire life, I have suffered with health complications including Celiac disease, food allergies, anemia, stomach bleeding, endometriosis, and fibromyalgia. Because I have so many ailments, I have struggled with trying to lead a normal, productive life. I have been on The Maker’s Diet, various herbal supplements and vitamins and have tried numerous other diets created by individuals who claimed to have all the answers. Some of the diets and herbs would help for a time, but the same issues would eventually return with a vengeance. It wasn’t until I met Dave Vignasse that I was able to find my way back to whole foods, clean eating and moderate exercise.
At first, I was skeptical about Dave’s diet and exercise plans due to past experiences with trainers and natural medicine specialists who claimed they knew they could help me, but always proved otherwise. It wasn’t until after Dave contacted the manufacturer for the supplements he recommended that I was convinced I had finally found the right individual to help me transform my health. Dave took the time to listen to my needs and my likes and dislikes and he custom designed a diet and exercise plan that worked with my budget and my small home gym. He offered many alternatives to conventional workout programs and taught me how to properly train my body so I would not drain any of the energy I had started to build up.
Since having started working with Dave just four months ago, I am proud to say that I no longer take medications for my stomach issues and my energy levels are through the roof. I have had fewer “celiac episodes” and the migraines and night sweats I once had have subsided. My body is already responding well to the most recent competition diet and workout program Dave designed for me and I am looking forward to competing in my first figure competition this coming fall. I will never look to another person for diet or training advice again, because Dave Vignasse is, in my opinion, the most qualified person to give this advice. Not to mention, he is a great conversationalist and has become a dear friend! Thank you, Dave, for all the time and effort you have put into improving my health and quality of life. I appreciate you more than you will ever know.
Stephanie Marie Allen
Portland, Oregon, 2009 NPC Figure Competitor
I was 12 weeks out from the NPC Europa 2009 figure competition and I was at 17% body fat and 125 pounds. I was not getting the results I wanted with the diet I was currently following. I was so confused and depressed because I was at a plateau- and began flip flopping diets- experimenting with low carb/high protein, which was just making things worse. I also had 0 energy, hungry all the time- almost to the point of splurging (and I am very disciplined!), and also had mood swings (partly because I wasn’t seeing fat loss/gains), and I was weight training 6 days a week.
Luckily, I met Dave, who explained his diet and training approach and was confident he could help me reach my goals. He laid out a custom diet based on my body fat and lean body mass numbers. He spent a lot of time with me explaining what I needed to do exactly and the supplements I needed to take. He also set up a cardio and exercise routine for me and guided me on how to train.
His diet was very solid and easy to follow. I started to see changes within two weeks. I had energy, NO MOOD SWINGS whatsoever- I could push my workouts to the max, and my strength was through the roof. I started dropping fat and putting on some serious muscle in just a short amount of time that I had been on it. For example, before starting his program, I was shoulder pressing 17.5 dumbbells and that jumped to 27-30 lbs. That was a huge milestone for me. My arms really increased in size and were ten times better than my last contest. Dave followed me very closely, and had me make adjustments along the way if need be. On the day of weigh in, I rang in at EXACTLY 102 lbs, 7% body fat; lean, hard, dry and ripped! His peak weak filled my muscles with the right amount of carbs, that I was no where near flat like I was for my prior show.
I am happy to say that I received three victorious trophies. I placed 2nd in figure masters, 5th in figure open amongst 30+ girls, and 5th in the bikini division! This was a very big NPC show with so many women- so the competition was extreme!
I am a firm believer in Dave’s program and will continue to follow his diet/training philosophy- both in the off-season, and in all upcoming competitions.
Thank you, Dave
Kelly Chavez (A.K.A Kellykel74 from bodyspace)
My goal was to lose some body fat. By the time I signed up w/Dave I was at the point of feeling so frustrated because no diet or exercise protocols I tried had given me any results. The program Dave gave me was different and I was excited to finally see some results. After weeks of still no results, I was becoming deeply depressed over the fact that I was doing the right things in my diet and in the gym, but still not losing any body fat. This was when Dave really did change my life. He was the one to make me realize I needed to see a doctor to check my thyroid. Had he not suggested this, I never would have discovered that I had a sluggish thyroid, meaning no matter what diet I was on my body would not respond to it. My doctor worked with me to find the right medication to get my thyroid levels back to normal. Dave continued to work with me and modify my nutrition program. I finally began to see amazing results. Since following Dave’s program I have been a happy person again and I don’t even know how to express to Dave how much his help means to me and how he really caused the turning point of me going from depressed to very happy. I continue to follow Dave's plan because not only does it make me look good, but I really do enjoy it and I feel very good on a daily basis when I eat this way.
Thank you Dave, you are truly my nutrition genius.

I have been working out for about 11 years consistently with weight training and cardio.I never could get over the top,basically due to poor nutrition. I was taking all kinds of supplements but didn't realize how important timing and clean whole meals were to me really transforming my body.
I decided I needed some help, so I began looking for a trainer. Not just someone to take my money, but someone who was knowledgable. That's when I found Dave. I liked the fact that we were about the same age and height and I felt he would understand what my body was going through at this point in my life. Dave took out all the guess work out of my eating and put me on a meal plan that was suited to me to help me reach my goals. Dave has helped me to understand nutrition and how important it is feed the body properly. It has been amazing over these last 9 weeks to see my body reach the level of fitness that I always knew it could. And with his help this has happened.
He also cut out all the supplements that I was throwing away money on and put me on a much simpler plan, easy for anybody to understand. He made up a workout program designed for my specific goals,so I didn't have to spend hours in the gym. I wouldn't be where I'm at today without the help and knowledge of Dave. He has not only helped me transform my body, but he has saved me a ton of money on supplements, I didn't need. I can take this experience with me to continue to reach higher goals that I never would have attained without his help. Thanks Dave.

I am not a body builder and I am not young. I am a 48 year old father of four and grandfather to one. I read about Dave on the Internet and it got me interested in getting back in shape. Dave devised a nutritional plan just for me and when I had questions or problems with it he was a phone call away with an answer. He also set a workout program that worked with the excercise equipment that I owned. I never had to wait for an answer to any question and Dave was always very encouraging. I am in the best shape of my life now and I owe it to Dave. If I can make his programs work anyone can. They are very easy and simple to follow. I now feel I have the tools to stay in shape and healthy for the rest of my life. Thanks Dave for all you have done.

My name is Amber Jerome and I started to work with Dave in march of 09. I was currently training with someone else but was dissatisfied with the way things were going. I heard alot about Dave and decieded to see what his he was all about. We spoke on the phone and he informed me of his credentials and how his plans work. I told him I planned on competing in the next mth so we started right away. I needed to really kick it up the next 4 wks and Dave gave me all the tools I needed to get started on my training. Four wks later I was walking across stage for my first time and placed 2nd in the womens open short category. I beat out 9 other girls!!
Dave is a great trainer and an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to fitness. He later told me that he was kinda uneasy about the shape I was in at the time we met and knew I needed alot of help but we stuck together and I was able to bring home a trophy. We were both amazed by how much we were able to accomplish in such a short time frame. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a better, healthier lifestyle.
Sincerely,

Hello, my name is Stephanie Toomey and I am a United States Marine and aspiring Figure Competitor. I have always been athletic and very active. I am currently on the All Marine Softball team and have played sports my whole life. Over a year ago I dedicate my life to getting in the best shape possible. Well, it wasn’t until I started working with Dave that I truly start working towards that goal. I thought I was dieting and training….wow, was I confused! But Dave made me a personal nutrition and workout plan that is specific for my body and have seen some great gains and even better losses! I can always count on Dave to give me the honest opinion (even if it’s hard to hear) and to keep me motivated. Currently I am deployed to Iraq and still maintain a daily relationship with Dave through emails or phone calls. He is quick to respond and come to the rescue! I have since recommended him to several of my friends, that are now new clients with Dave and I get endless thank you’s from them for just passing on his name. I could not be happier with how my body is transforming. With the help of Dave I believe that I am not just on the right path but will soon reach my goal of gracing the stage! Thanks Dave you are the best.

"I am so thankful to have crossed paths with Dave. He has introduced me to some wonderful supplements which have helped me to improve my physique and overall health immensely. Dave is always available via text, email, and phone, and with his busy schedule, he continues to reply to me super fast! He designed a diet specific to my body, and he really cares about my progress and wants to see me succeed in all I do. Working with Dave is without question the person you need to reach your personal goals!
Wendy Lucas - NPC Figure competitor, fitness model Los Angeles, Ca
My name is Orlando Fontanez. I have been a natural professional bodybuilder for the past 7 years. To compete as a natural pro, it is not enough to have an excellent physique. You need to have a superior physique. As an amateur, I did well, but as a pro bodybuilder, everybody (hitting the bodybuilding stage) was going to be good! That is where my good friend, advisor, and fellow pro bodybuilder David Vignasse came in.
In thirteen weeks, I dropped from 185 pounds to 165 pounds using David's methods. David's plan fit my body type, and increased my metabolism. I dropped 20 pounds while keeping hard earned muscle.
Whether you want to lose fat/weight, add a few pounds to your bench, shave off seconds to your 100 yard dash time, or put some zip into your fastball, David Vignasse can get you there. He helped me get results, he can do the same for you!
Orlando Fontanez, Pro Bodybuilder
"When Dave Vignasse approached me to join his team to accomplish amazing things with my body I was a little skeptical...I mean you never know what you can get over the Internet right? And isn't all good nutrition good? Was I ever so wrong. Dave has been nothing but professional and to the point. With his sound nutrition plan I have learned that it is not just any diet that makes your body the best it can be, it is a science that Dave has spent many years educating himself in and practicing. Since using Dave I have seen an increase in muscle and a significant loss in fat. I would highly recommend him to anyone from a beginner to a pro!! Thanks Dave"
"Having tried a few gym and online trainers in the past, I can honestly say that an hour long phone chat with Dave provided me with more relevant information than all the misguided, ill-informed knowledge I was previously given. Dave is extremely approachable, has the necessary credentials that a nutrition and weight trainer requires, and the results I have seen after a few weeks of following his personalized plans are incredible. I'm not a bodybuilder, just an average guy looking to get in the best shape of his life and trying to acquire the right tools to assist me in my goals. I'd highly recommend Dave to anyone in my position. His service and expertise are top-notch!"

Dave is a wonderful and very knowledgeable guy, I've met with 6 more personal trainers and talked to them, and just by speaking with Dave, I knew that the other personal trainers didn't have near as experience and
knowledge as Dave, so I made Dave my trainer and will continue to work with Dave to achieve my goals. He gives an in depth diet designed for your personal goals and also workouts designed to meet your specific goals. His knowledge and experience is well worth over thousands of dollars.
Thanks Dave for giving me the opportunity to reach my goals!

I have been working with Dave Viagnasse for about two months now. From the first phone call we had Dave gave me his undivided attention and knowledge on fitness. We spoke for about an hour and just talked about my goals, my intentions and of course "THE PLAN" Dave emailed me a customized diet, which would adhere to my metabolism, my fitness goals, and my schedule. He educated me on the supplement industry and the "have and have nots" I should be investing my money on. I have been using his recommended supplements, from protein powder to the best EFA's to consume. The guy is a wizard when it comes to nutrition science and peak performance. Thanks Big Dave.

I have been very pleased with the food items in the meal plan. The plan is easy to follow and it did not interfere with my family's meals. The low carb diet has given me great results; I've lost the total of 10 pounds in just 4 weeks. Dave is patient, very responsive, and his knowledge of nutrition is unbelievable. This was the best money I ever spent on anything associated with health and fitness. Dave is definitely worth twice the price!!!
Emmy Mother, fitness enthusiast (Iowa)
Dave thanks for all your help. I have lost 10 lbs and reduced my bodyfat by 5% in 4 weeks already. The amount of strength and lean mass that I have gained are very impresive also. Thanks for the great workout and nutrition plan. I never understood how the right ratio of fatty acids could improve my energy levels and natural fat-burning capabilities. Dave took the base diet I started with and has masterfully modified it to keep me constantly improving each week. I would highly recommend any of his programs, the 18 week plan was ideal for my triathlon season.
Sid Triathlete Chicago, Il
Dave, your 16 week program worked like magic! I was able to shed body fat while maintaining all my muscle mass and I still had a ton of energy for my workouts. I was also very impressed with peak week, your plan really brought out the hardness and definition that last week! I can't wait to get on you’re off season program, and make even more gains! Thanks so much for all the help, couldn't have done it without ya!

I'm from Kuwait & I have tried few personal trainers before but the online personal training Dave provides is way better than one on one other personal trainer i tried, the meal plan and workout routine he specially designed for me are just great i started to see and feel the results in just one week, and off course he introduced me to the best supplements which are helping me to reach my goals and save me a lot of money, I’m learning a lot from Dave he answers all my questions and gives me an individual attention with his knowledge & expertise im very confident that i will reach my goals, I think his rates are also too low in comparison to the results u get from his programs and the knowledge you learn from him.
Ali - Kuwait, Fitness enthusiast, Improve health and physique
I am working with Dave in order to be a healthy well balanced fit woman! I started out with a somewhat ruff start and confusion; I was 84lbs of the year 08.... But now thanks to the great knowledge and support of what Dave I will be well on my way to a enormous head start for ’09! I am so excited to be learning from someone so caring and intelligent! This is going to drastically benefit and change my life in every level I could even imagine! Dave has shared the most powerful ways to get your body to be your dream bodies with his unique nutrition plan, weight training & cardio plan! He understands that everyone has different need and he does his magic to make all of his clients see the results that they are striving for! Thank you so Much Dave! You are defiantly like an older brother to me! We are all so truly lucky to have people like Dave in our lives because you really know he cares & feels about us & are needs!

My name is Ron Whisman, I was snooping around bodyspace for a while and found that everyone was recommending Dave Vignasse, now I know why. He gave me a call asked me my goals which was to lose alot of weight, and he then sent me my nutrition and training program, it was very easy to follow, and I loved it, I dropped 45 lbs in 12 weeks with his program, I was very pleased with his program and would recommend it to anyone looking to change!

Dave has given me the motivation and consistency I need by providing structure and accountability to help me develop a lifestyle change that encourages health. He has helped maximize my time by providing nutritional information designed to meet my goals quickly and efficiently. An exercise program that works for one person may not work for another, Dave has developed the most effective program for me based on my fitness level and personal goals. He has been very timely and knowledgeable to help me take my health and fitness to the next level. I am so excited to continue my journey with Dave. Dave has helped me to break out of a rut by jump starting my motivation and my routine. By continuously monitoring my progress, Dave has provided me with objective feedback in regards to my limits and strengths. Dave has provided me with great positive feedback on my performance, and has bolstered my confidence to take on new challenges.
I challenge you to take on Dave Vignasses nutritional training and take your self esteem, motivation, and body to the next level! Anyone can do it, some of us need help along the way, let Dave be your guide.
