Dave is an incredible Coach. I highly recommend him for both online & in-person Coaching as he is an amazing influence for anyone wanting to better their health and fitness. I have been training with Dave for over 12 months and feel very fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable and caring Coach. Dave is passionate and dedicated to helping all of his clients overcome their individual health/fitness issues and achieve their best! He personalises all his training and nutrition plans and provides science-based evidence to help you learn. Dave has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training technique, science, and body recomposition, while teaching a balanced approach to comp prep which worked so well for me. I achieved my best physique and placed 2nd at the recent WBFF competition all while eating more food and doing very little cardio. Dave focuses on strength instead of dieting which was a game-changer for me and because of this I feel very fortunate to be working with him towards my competition goals! I can’t thank Dave enough for the impact he has had on my life, my goals, my physique, my strength gains, my healthy relationship with food, and my 2nd placing at WBFF. 🏆 I look forward to seeing what improvements we can make to my physique in the future!

"I write this recommendation for Dave Yates, with my former capacity as a senior medical practitioner and a retired Northern Territory Member of Parliament. The recommendation follows initially a year and a half of regular training sessions leading up to my selection in an Australian squad, during which I got to know Dave. I was selected into The Auroras squad, representing the country at the International Dragon Boat Federation World Championships in Szaged, Hungary 2013. I returned from that campaign with a clean sweep of Gold medals in the 3 Men's races and 1 Gold and 2 Silver medals in the 3 Mixed races. Subsequent to 2013, I engaged Dave as my PT for several months each year till he left Good Life gym. Through my association with Dave, the 5 words I would use to describe Dave, are Focused Driven Informed Knowledgeable Respectful."
"Dave has been a pivotal person in not just my fitness journey but my mental wellbeing for over 3 years. His approach is clear and caring with your well-being always being at the centre of every step. I wouldn’t have the health and strength with the level of confidence to tackle my training, everyday life or mental health. He has helped me in astounding ways professionally and personally and I wouldn’t be where I am without him."
"The fundamentals of all my training came from Dave, once i mastered the basics the results were endless in so many aspects of my life. The perfect mix of seriousness and fun throughout our sessions."
"Such a good coach, from prep style training, to powerlifting training, to normal everyday training, his knowledge is incredible. Highly Recommend!"
