Meet the Owner: Dave Parise

Dave Parise is a recognized leader in the fitness industry. On the cutting edge of exercise today, Dave has been voted one of the Top Personal Trainers in the United States and across Canada by the Association for Fitness Professionals (IDEA). Dave has 24 years experience in strength training, human performance, and exercise science. Born and raised in Hamden, CT, he began his career as a body builder and certified personal trainer.

In 1986, Dave retired from competitive body building to establish a private one-on-one personal training facility located in Hamden, CT. Discouraged with common gym science and compulsory movements, he set out to change the fitness industry by setting new standards and proper training methods based on the function of one's individual anatomy, not a manufactured machine.

A Message from Dave

The goal of the Results Plus Personal Training program is to establish objective decision making into the implementation of exercise, to omit the conventional cookie cutter type recommendations you would find at the local corefitness center or gym, to look beyond traditional exercise myths and incorporate sound movements.

For the last 24 years, I've maintained the desire to impart only the truth about exercise. I always have believed that a moment of insight is worth a lifetime's experience. We are all victims of the "my guru can beat up your guru" mentality, which encourages the pubic to become followers of some genetic gym/fitness trainer's own personal experiences. I have learned most trainers who are employed by a Gym or Fitness center are nothing more than RENT-A-BUDDIES (DON'T PAY FOR THAT).

I believe that personal experience, and the way an exercise feels, is the furthest thing from anatomical efficiency, joint function, and muscular action. The science behind the movements, correcting posture so the exercise can be performed safely, more efficiently and with less struggle is what I recommend.

I personally guarantee the Results Plus program is people sensitive and accurate. Understanding how the body functions, makes result easily obtained. A wish changes nothing...a decision will change everything!
