David Szego
Strength changed my life.Sounds like a bit of an overstatement but everything I am and everything I do today is thanks to me becoming passionate about strength.
I started as a very overweight and unfit kid - the one who got chosen last for the team in P.E. And this only got worse through my early twenties.
I have found StrongFirst (running under a different name at the time) in 2010 - and the principles they use, the attention to detail and the dedication to progress has blown me away.
I lost quite a bit of bodyweight - equivalent of The Beast - and got stronger, so I could qualify as a StrongFirst instructor in 2012.
This is why I say, strength changed my life: not only becasue that extra 48kg put quite a bit of pressure on my heart and if I continued living like that, it would risk my health, and ultimately, my life... But also because it drew my path for me.
I wanted to help people change their lives. Make strength and healthy living be part of who they are - just like it happened to me.
As soon as I had the chance, I opened StrengthLab - my personal training studio in Bristol where me and 3 of my fellow StrongFirst instructors help over 60 people get stronger and fitter every week.
We use the principles of StrongFirst, FMS, Ground Force Method and Flexible Steel in a unique personal training setting where 2-4 people train together: getting all the attention to detail they need from the trainer while being part of a strong tribe and enjoying a supportive community.
I am always happy to chat about strength training - so if you'd like to discuss anything, feel free to reach out to me.

I first met David in a Strength Lab gym and just knew he was going to inspire me to develop my fitness and an appreciation of the Strong First philosophy. 5 years into training he suggested that I work up to the SFG 1. Wow; it was such an incredible journey. David guided me, taught me, inspired me, and made me take the steps to become a certified Strong First instructor. He has been a constant source of information, motivation and best of all fun!! We have had some laughs, but I am so glad I stepped into the Strength Lab space all those years ago. It has totally transformed me and my attitude to life!! Thanks Coach, you Rock!!!

It is because of David that I am not only stronger physically but also mentally. From being a woman ‘of a certain age’ staring at knee replacement surgery and dreading that part of the ageing process I am now about to recert my SFG1, attempt to gain an SFG11 & am running a thriving PI business.
David is the perfect coach: empathetic but not sympathetic, encouraging but not patronising & challenging but not dangerous. I may well moan, voice fears and be self-critical. David remains steadfastly professional.
I cannot praise David highly enough. He is so experienced, so enthusiastic & a joy to be trained by him.

David has been training me for over 10 years and I can't imagine working with anyone else.
He is experienced and knowledgeable, but is always looking for ways to grow and learn. He clearly loves what he does, and his enthusiasm is infectious. He knows how to adapt his approach to get the best out of his students, and he cares about their goals.
With David's guidance, I achieved the SFG Level I certification, and am now in training for the Level II. Something I would never have considered without his support and motivation.

David is a very kind, knowledgeable and attentive instructor. I met David for a skill tune up and to explore how we can work together to support my ambitions.
He showed a deep passion and knowledge base for StrongFirst, health and fitness. His generosity left me feeling humble, supported and taken care of.
I highly recommend David and very much look forward to working regularly with him.
