PRIMAL MOVES Stories: The Proof is in the Results
“Really one of the most fun exercise experiences I’ve had!”
— Koen Smit
“I’ve trained with Dave Mummery for several years—through group classes and ongoing one-on-one sessions focused on movement and strength. Managing osteoporosis while building muscle and flexibility, I needed a trainer with deep physiological knowledge. Dave delivers. With nearly 25 years’ experience and a decade specialising in primal movement, he brings rare expertise, care, and precision. Sessions are always tailored, challenging, and safe. His focus on movement quality has helped me progress in ways I didn’t think possible. I trust him completely and would follow him anywhere. Dave is a one-off—highly skilled, client-focused, and deeply committed.”

Dave has been with me every step of the way on my fitness journey guiding and encouraging me to achieve and exceed all of the personal fitness goals that I’ve set my self. Dave has the ability to really engage with his clients and to explain the fitness journey in terms that resonate with your life both physically and mentally. Dave is more than a personal trainer, he’s an educator for healthy living.”

“David is an outstanding coach who has completely changed the way I train. He brings genuine passion and energy to every session, making training something I look forward to. What I value most is how he tailors each workout to my needs while also teaching me about movement and longevity — I’m not just training harder, I’m training smarter. It took me a long time to find a coach who could combine different movement styles with such care and expertise, and I feel lucky to have found that in David.”

“I have been training with Dave for 13+ years and can confidently say he is one of the most passionate and dedicated fitness professionals I know. His focus on mobility and body-weight training, particularly through Zuu, has built both strength and resilience in his clients. Beyond the training itself, he has created a strong, supportive community with a loyal following who are inspired by his energy, expertise, and genuine care for people’s wellbeing.”

“I was looking into strength & mobility type training particularly as I'm getting into the middle age bracket. Dave has more than addressed this & is an easy character to get along with. Training is tough but fun and always mindful of previous injuries that can sometimes remind your body they can lurk under the surface. I have no hesitation recommending Dave to anyone for personal training including the Zuu, Animal Flow & Stick mobility classes he also runs.”
