Max

Very satisfied!
I had a few excellent weeks with a group of highly skilled and knowledgeable teachers. The course was very intensive, but all the teachers were keen to ensure that all participants kept up, so it worked out well anyway.

Robin

David Samuyiwa is a great teacher; you learn a lot in a very short time. It's also fun to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. The school was good, with a ton of knowledge.

Jenny

Training with David has positive effects on both body and soul!

David is a very good teacher. I always have a hard time learning things in school.
David makes it interesting to listen, and I wanted to learn more and could keep my concentration all day long. The lessons always felt lively.
I can highly recommend David as a teacher.

David is a real pro and he is perfect for the role of coach. After my training, he contacted me and asked me how it went, which is something I really value. Even today, with my clients, I hear his words echoing in my head. A true inspiration.

Hi!
Well, I don't know if the English language has enough good words... When you stood in front of the class, I felt we were unstoppable and could jump over houses. You gave us hope and motivation and made us believe in the future. I wish we could have you as a teacher every day of our education.
I've had some problems finding a job at a gym because I smoke, so I decided to move to Denmark. I will probably start in August. But a month ago I got an email from the new boss at Actic Veberöd and now I have a job as a personal trainer. And instructor. I still have my old job at the big chicken farm. And I haven't had much time to work anywhere because I am a civil Danish police officer in The Bridge 4, which is being filmed right now in Malmö. Next week too, and after that things will go back to normal (?).
I have to spend some time at the university in Lund too. Danish education.
About the job at Actic...the boss is a really nice woman, but I don't understand a word she says. And yes, she speaks Swedish... I do understand the vocabulary they speak in Swedish and Danish at the shooting scene for The Bridge 4, but I have a hard time understanding the vocabulary my gym boss uses. And she tries to teach me how the computer system works by showing me... and she talks fast and I can't see and learn
. I have to do and learn. I will give it a chance, but I am looking for work and a place to live in Denmark. Copenhagen would be great, but there are alternatives.
Oh, this was more about me than about you, but I just felt like giving you an update.
Just ask if you want to know more and tell me if there is anything I can do for you.
You are the best! You rock! You are The Man!
Love and hugs

I would like to mention that David Samuyiwa is a professional personal trainer. I have learned how to master my training in every area, such as being able to control my focus and increase my motivation in sports and life. Therefore, I would like to transform this experience that I have gained from my personal trainer and be able to teach it to others.

As a student, I have learned that being positive affects our lives and that nothing is impossible if we really put our minds to it.

I am a positive person who always tries to surround myself with good people, so to be a good PT, you have to be a very positive and open-minded person. For example, when I first met David as a PT teacher, I saw him as my motivation teacher.

I was always looking forward to finding someone to motivate me in life and show me the complex/challenging steps of living.

As the days passed, I learned more and more about how to bring positive change to people's lives and help them grow with a positive attitude. Now I am a strong believer and nothing is impossible for me, because I have a positive mind that I can achieve anything with it.

Finally, I would like to thank David, my teacher, who taught me the right ways of living, and I am glad that I can pass on this positivity as a personal trainer to others.

Best regards,

Bear

Hi,
My name is Björn and I was a student of David Samuyiwa. I am writing this reference letter because I see David not only as my teacher but also as a mentor. During our time together, David made sure that I got all the information I needed to understand the "matrix," if you will, knowing the importance of stance knowledge, know-how, and above all, knowing how to apply that knowledge. David is a well-rounded person, but he is also humble. He is a hustler in the sense that he is focused and does what it takes to achieve his goals and go further. I honestly have to say that in all my years I have come into contact with many people, different cultures, different histories, a great gap between ages, and among them I met David, who is for me one of the few who has that broader view of the world, the dynamic to see between the lines and beyond boxes. He is definitely a great teacher. I definitely stepped up my game, my knowledge bank, if you will. I recommend him for sure.

Thanks!

Pontus

Certified Personal Trainer at Nordic Wellness, Järntorget.

With David as my course teacher, I felt very confident that I was going to pass. He has a way of teaching that really engages people in a very productive way. 10 out of 10!

Malvina

Hi!

I think you are a very good teacher! You speak well and you got us all to listen to you. You are very inspiring too, you told us the hard truth about this business, but still managed to make me even more motivated after hearing it. You made us all feel like we could do this, even if it will be hard from time to time. I remember I had a lot of questions that I asked you, but your answers always made me shut up, and that's not usual. You also told us a lot about your own life, which made us believe even more in what you said and gained our respect!

Hope this helped!

Nemanja

While I was in my PT class, I felt a strange sensation, some positive energy, and then David Samuyiwa walked in with his friend. He was just observing us and the teacher who was speaking. I was impressed by how someone could release that amount of energy! Later, he started leading the class. He was talking about marketing and the attributes that a PT must have. Before that, I thought I knew a lot about PT, but he opened my eyes! He motivated me in every aspect of my life with his speech. His lesson didn't just teach me how to be a good PT, I learned how to be a better person and shape my attitude. I learned what my greatest strength is and how to use it. Now I am living the way he taught me, I can feel the difference and improvement in my mental strength.
Every human being should have someone like David as a friend, and for PTs he should definitely be the best choice for mentoring! Thanks David Samuyiwa!

Kyle

David was my teacher for a personal training course in 2016. Not only was he one of the best teachers I have encountered, but I also felt that we finished the course as friends.
As a short example, I ruptured my Achilles tendon during said course and my head had dropped somewhat. David was the first person to call me while I was at the hospital, he stayed on the phone with me for some time and managed to not only cheer me up but to make me look to the future with a smile. David constantly checked in on me during a rough time and was always available to talk. Something for which I am truly grateful.
David has shown many great qualities over the time I have known him, he is compassionate, a good listener, kind, has a sense of humor, and is knowledgeable, to name a few. The list is endless.

Yours sincerely,

Aleksandra

What can I say about David? He is a great teacher, motivator, and speaker with a big influence on people's lives. When he walks into a room, you can feel some good, healthy energy and vibes combined with serenity and wisdom.
When you listen to him, you feel like you can do anything if you only want it. It was my great pleasure to meet him here in Montenegro, to be his student. He taught me that everything is in the mind, and what you think you become. And today I'm a personal trainer thanks to him. He changed my life.

Nina

A few months ago, I joined a personal trainer course. From the beginning, everyone was saying that our teacher was great, but I needed to wait to see David. I myself was wondering why David was so amazing (as everyone was saying), but when I met him, I realized that they were right.
A man with charisma, a positive attitude, someone who is confident, hard-working, and above all, a man who is willing to give all his knowledge to us, his students.
He is a teacher whose lectures I could listen to for hours. There are so many things about training, life, and everything else that people could learn from him. His lessons and examples were so inspiring, and he is so supportive. I wish I had more teachers like him.

Boban

My name is Boban and I want to speak about my teacher, trainer, and my good friend David Samuyiwa.
David is professional in his work. He knows that the best way to transfer knowledge to his students.
Knows how to show students how to thrive in business.
I learned a lot from him, and I am grateful to him for that.
Great teacher, coach, leader, visionary soldier and most importantly a good man.
All praise for my fitness guru.

Daniel

I had David Samuyiva as a teacher on my course to become a personal trainer. I lost a daughter a few years back and had a life crisis for years. I had not been able to work and from time to time been hospitalized.
It felt like it was my last chance to get my life back on track to complete the education and the last days before school began I was terrified.
On the way to my first day, I actually felt sick and almost didn't go because of fear. I am so glad I did!!!!!
David made me feel safe and let me know I could do what was needed of me. He was clear that hard work was needed and that it would not be easy. He made learning such a fun, challenging, evolving, and educational experience.
He made everything easy to grasp and I felt safe knowing what I would have to do and know to complete my course.
If I would have had another teacher at the start of my education and journey I might and if the last year before would be an inducation I probably might have failed.
Without any reservations I gladly give David the biggest recommendation I possibly can.

Haris

As a professor of sports and physical education, I can say that I am glad to have David as my mentor. At first, I had no impression, but after a quick chat, I knew that I had a chance to learn something that I needed. He is a good athlete with patience and the ability to selflessly transmit knowledge. Overall, he is a good mentor, motivational speaker, definitely a role model, and a friend. Thanks, Dave.

Desirée

Hi,
For me, having David as a teacher has been great. His knowledge and life experience are really inspiring. Hours feel like minutes when you listen to him, and he motivates you to always do and be your best.
If I need advice, it's David I turn to because I trust his opinion.

Balsa

I can say that there are no words to describe the satisfaction I felt as I listened to your presentation, and also the great honor of meeting you. You are a great professional and also someone who is dedicated to fitness progress even more in the world! We absorbed your every word, primarily because we know that you are a big name in the world of fitness, of course, you deserve it!
Professor, you are phenomenal and you advised us so many useful things that were of great benefit to us, you are a great motivation for us...
You have uploaded us a lot of positive energy in the right way!
I hope we see you soon and that I again have the honor to attend some of your lectures. Education! Practice! Discipline! Always positive mind!!!
Many thanks David for everything, because you are really great man, an excellent teacher, a true friend! My huge honor was I’ve learned so many things in a short time from you!
Greetings to my good friend!!!

Boris

Hello my teacher.
I just want to write a short text about a great man. First, you are a good man, David, and the best teacher. Before you, I didn't see too many positive things, but you are professional and you opened my eyes to all the good things. God bless you. I learn many things from you, and for me you are the number one teacher! Thank you for everything, my friend and teacher. See you soon!

Frederico

Hey bro! Hope you are well!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for believing in me from the very beginning.

Thank you for giving me the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

And introducing me to Anthony Robbins.

I really appreciate everything you have done, even though sometimes I haven't shown you how much I appreciate it!

The biggest change I have made in my life was when I first stepped into your DS class and you showed me the way to achieve my goals and that anything is possible if we just believe in ourselves and take massive action. And thanks to using those principles you taught me, I realized a lot of my goals and am still doing and developing myself every day!

Thanks to that change, I can now motivate and show other people the way to change their lives, and I have a totally different way of seeing the world and different opportunities!

Thanks to you, I am today a:

Opportunist
Entrepreneur
Business owner
Inspirator
Motivator
Speaker
Manager
Father
Loving friend
And soon a good husband.

Thank you so much! It means the world to me! ???

Mohammad

It was a very good experiment to have a personal training course at the DS school. I learned so many new things about training and technique despite my long experience in training. I feel that I am really a personal trainer after this course. I have become more confident in myself and this course has made me more capable of searching for the right sources for training. The team I was working with was great and helpful. I told my friends about the course and recommended that they take it. Two of them are excited to take it when they get the chance. I really want to thank the leadership team for giving us a new perspective on training, especially David, who gave us great information about training, confidence, and charisma.

Rasmus

I had a good experience with you as a teacher, you were very engaged, inspiring, and a good motivator.
You told us to have a straightforward attitude towards the job as a PT, which I really appreciated.
Also that you focused on the mental perspective and change of lifestyle instead of just the physical and visual part.

That said, I found that you are good with the II, Influence and Impact, which had a really positive effect on me.

Have a great day!

Kajsa

Instructive, fun, interesting, challenging, and very intense training. I recommend it to anyone who would like to work with health and training. Teachers inspire and teach in a way that makes it both fun and easy to understand. David has a long experience in this industry, and it really shows in the classroom. The topics covered feel relevant and instructive in many ways beyond just the profession of personal training. I got a job immediately after the course and have received extremely good feedback from the gym I work at and obviously satisfied clients.

Rickard

Very thorough and comprehensive in your presentation. Pedagogically explanatory, easy to understand. You are humble, which inspires confidence in your students. No aspect of the industry has been overlooked. Thank you for showing us what we can achieve.

Mohamad

Hey!
I think the three days I spent at DS school were great. I gained new experiences and new information.
Hopefully, this information will be the key for me to start a new life.
Best regards

Nicolina

Hello!
I would like to provide you with feedback on the last few days!

I think you are very clear about what you want to convey, which is great. You don't complicate the teaching, but are very easy to understand.

You radiate a lot of energy, knowledge, and experience, which I admire. You are passionate about what you do, and I hope that I will be able to work as a personal trainer for a long time by taking this course!
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Aleks

Thanks for teaching me about how the market works and expanding my view on it.

Due to my work in my private life as a martial arts instructor, many aspects of how to meet and greet people, as well as how to push others, were logical, but from David's perspective as well. He taught me his perspective on it, so I gathered more information. For which I am grateful!

It is always enjoyable to hear about other people's experiences; the way he spoke really brought the picture to life.

Humbled and a nice person who takes his time to answer your questions.
And the way he talks and acts, you can tell he knows his stuff.

Thanks and cheers, mate.

Now it's up to me to try my own wings

Leon

Over these three days, you have taught me the skills I need as a leader in the PT role.
How I should be, when and where.

Åsa

The sessions we've had with you have been super rewarding! I've learned a ton about the role and mindset of being a personal trainer. You're clear and specific, give a lot of yourself and your knowledge, and are patient with all of us.

Thank you for everything!

Panos

I thought the course was well divided within the time frame, a lot of things for new people to take in if they don't have previous knowledge, but it was done in a pedagogical and inspiring way. First of all, free interaction in the class provided an opportunity for many interesting questions and knowledge sharing. I would also like to point out that you established a very good connection with us as students and met our individual needs. Last but not least, it was a very good and profound way to revisit and also learn new things about training and fitness. I look forward to future classes with you. Truly inspired.

Muhamed

Truly a great teacher. David is easy going and has a talent for making people feel comfortable. His approach to teaching is not only effective but fun and encourages people to speak up. I am very happy with the course itself as well as David's teaching abilities. Thank you for a great time and all the great insights you shared with all of us.

Anna

Hi David. Thank you so much for the course! It has been very educational and has opened my eyes to effective training with correct movements/tempo in a different way, both for myself and others. It has been intense, yes, but considering everything I have learned, it has only been positive
. All I can say is that you, as a teacher, have been very logical and demonstrate the exercises well. I have never been on a course like this before, so I can only compare it with other studies/teachers. Thanks again, see you next month!

Bouchra

I think you are a talented leader, instructor, trainer, and presenter. It is clear that you are comfortable in your role
You are very open and ambitious
Confident in your explanations. You demonstrate and give examples in a way that makes it easy to understand!

But it's a shame that the course was so intensive that you had to learn several different subjects/modules at the same time.

And that, of course, you have not had the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge you possess?

Ana

My name is Ana Lopusin, I am a fitness trainer of group workouts
, aerobics, Zumba, Pilates. I have my own fitness club and I want to develop my business to a higher level. You held a fitness seminar in Podgorica. It was the first time something like this had been held in our country, and it was phenomenal. I am glad to meet you and I want to praise your way of speaking, especially your motivational speech. Marija invited me to this seminar and she praised your work. I am grateful to her for the invitation.

Ivan

Dear David, thank you for coming to Montenegro to teach this fitness seminar. It was a pleasure for me to learn so many great things and you gave us a really educational class. It was so interesting and I learned and expanded my views a lot as a trainer. Hope you will organize it again. Best regards, Ivan

Marko

Hi David,

Hope you have a great time in Montenegro.
I just want to thank you for an amazing seminar, especially because you talked a lot about personal development and achieving goals and dreams.
For us coaches, that is really important, and we constantly strive to improve our knowledge.
My friends were very inspired by everything you said and are already asking about the next similar event.

Nina

Dear David,
I haven’t got time to say thank you for visiting our country and giving this seminar to people like us who are interested in fitness. This seminar was very interesting for me and I have learnt so many things which I didn’t know before. Your story about success at the beginning of the seminar inspired me to think about my future plans because I am young and can become very successful in fitness as a PT or group fitness instructor. I hope you will come again to Podgorica since I would like to hear and learn more from you. Hope to see you soon!!

Milan

Dear Mr. Samuyiwa,
I’m so glad to be part of this course and having an opportunity to hear interesting facts about nutrition, training, coaching, and healthy lifestyle in general. This is very useful, so in my opinion, you should do it again in Montenegro. You motivated us and set our goals for the future.

Thanks for inviting us and taking the time to teach us. We really appreciate it.

Marija

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for organizing your personal training school in Montenegro. I attended your course and must admit that it was of a very high professional standard.
I have only positive words for all the effort you put into teaching us the most important things in working with future clients, how to become the best version of ourselves in this job, how to program our future training, and teaching us the anatomy of the human body, which is very crucial. It was a very powerful and educational course and very intense with 8 working hours a day.

Andjelija

I attended a seminar that my dear colleague Marija invited me to, and it was a real pleasure. It was more than amazing! Our trainers and gyms need more of these high-quality teachings so that we can be better at our jobs and make progress. You were very inspiring with your story and energy. I would like to thank you for that and for sharing your knowledge with us. I hope to see you again.

Sandra

I want to thank you for the seminar and your teaching in Montenegro. It was my pleasure to hear all the useful things from you.
I must say, you really inspired me and I heard some great things about how to be the best version of myself and how to become a powerful and great PT.
I start to create my path to become a great PT and have some great ideas how to make it and improve it.
Hope I’ll have a chance to hear you speaking again on some other modules. Looking forward to it.

Sreten

Thank you for inviting us to your class! It was very useful and interesting for trainers. I learned new things and I am thankful for that.
I think you should visit Montenegro soon and organize something like this again.

Balsa

First of all, I want to tell you that I am very happy with everything I heard from you and that it was all very useful. And thank you for all the information and for the wonderful education. All that thanks to Marija Cukovic. She invited me. I wish you all the best and hope that we will meet again.

Eila

I attended your class in Podgorica, and I would really like it if you came again to talk about more things. Your speech actually made an impact on me, I see things differently now, and I’ve made some changes in my life, I’m taking control over it, I set some goals, I made daily and weekly goals, and it’s making me very happy and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment. So, I want to thank you for inspiring me and motivating me to be the person I know I am.

And if you are considering doing a workshop here again, please do

Jelena

Thanks for coming. The seminar was very useful for me and, as a fitness instructor, I heard a lot of new and interesting things that can improve my career and take it to the next level. I think you should organize more seminars like this because they are very motivating and educational.
Thank you, and I hope you will come again soon.

Pink

I just wanted to thank you for coming and sharing some of your experience and knowledge with us.
I found it very useful for my growing and developing even though I am not a fitness instructor but a yoga teacher.
I would love to hear that there would be more of your seminars and educations in the future in Montenegro.

Abdul

First of all, I have to say thank you for the inspiring speech you gave in class. In addition, it has been very motivating to hear different common threads in different contexts of important aspects. This class not only taught PT, but also very strong messages and delivery.
Thank you for this training, which gave much more than just education.

Karita

I think the first week has been very intense but incredibly educational! I have learned so much and have also been very inspired to develop into a better version of myself and to continue helping other people to develop.

I think it has been a good time and just the right amount of teacher-led lessons during the day, because you quickly get tired of sitting, listening, and learning so much in such a short time. The setup has been good too!

It has been a little too intense in some areas. I think it has been a little difficult to try to sell yourself as a PT in 8 minutes and not have much opportunity to practice and be able to redo things and do them right. Otherwise, you have the facts and knowledge, but sometimes it takes more time.

Otherwise, I think the first week has been really good! I've learned so much, and I'm very grateful for that!

Josefine

Just wanted to start by thanking you and Anders for this inspiring week. A LOT to take in but so much fun! In my opinion Anders was a super teacher, But sometimes he talked a bit fast so I struggled to get my notes finished before he went to the next muscle/joint. And it was a little too hot inside. Other than that, I’m VERY pleased with both of you. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you next week?

Lotta

I think the first week has been great. You are inspiring and motivating, and Anders, who taught anatomy and physiology, was very skilled and pedagogical. Unfortunately, I had a brain freeze during the sales test, which is really sad, but otherwise it's been a great week.

There is a lot to learn, and it's a shame that everything has to be covered in two weeks. What I read at the beginning was that weeks 1 and 2 were PT and week 3 was diet, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

Daniel

We started by learning about the role of a personal trainer and how to carry ourselves, which is important since we are going to work with people
who need to trust and listen to us. Afterwards, we moved on to the practical aspects of how the body works, which is important in our daily work.

Some feedback. Both you and Anders have been very clear and easy to listen to, and you both managed to get us to understand with ease. Thanks to this, I think that you could have compressed Monday, Tuesday, and Friday into two days; it would not have been any problem with longer days. This would have opened up
time for some more physiology, such as the endocrine system. I think you cover that in the nutritional part, but it's important to know how exercise affects the hormone system and vice versa.

In week two, I hope we will learn some more techniques if we are going to use free weights. I also hope we will cover some information about how to program for different goals: getting stronger/leaner/gaining weight/losing weight/running the Gothenburg Half Marathon, etc.

Jenny

I have had a great first week getting to know some great future PTs with great potential.

I feel like you have a lot of useful experience you are teaching us. We can see that you have been working a long time and you shine confidence in what you are teaching. I would definitely buy some hours.

We /the students (when I talk to some of them) have already from the beginning all underestimated the amount of learning.
Also majority of us seem to have some other things to deal with than focus fully on the studies. (I personally have a water leakage at home and live currently at my mothers. )

Sales and marketing make a lot of sense as a whole. It is a big part and not so much thought of, especially how it works within training centers.

Personally, I get really stressed out by the testing parts. I think we need a lot more time than just a few days to become great PTs and also perfect our sales skills and find our own personal sales techniques.

Still, I think it is a great course, and this pressure makes us understand its importance.

Also within the group, we don't really want to pay more for failing and retaking the tests.

The anatomy part is very much to handle and seems difficult to learn at the beginning, but after a few days it still seems that we really do remember and learn faster than we think. Repeating the important parts at the end of the day helps a lot. We also learn how important it actually is to know, especially with all kinds of inquiries that can arise.

Wadih

I thought we received good, detailed information.
The course was informative, which is an advantage when working as a personal trainer. I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to get trained.

Josefine

I am very satisfied with the second week. I actually have nothing to criticize. Perhaps it would have been a little easier if the theory test had been a few days later. Maybe on Tuesday after Sunday? It was a little tight to learn everything before Sunday. Thank you so much for these two weeks! I will definitely recommend this course to others.

Marijana

I was at your seminar in Podgorica and after all I would like to tell you that it was my pleasure that I was there. I heard a lot of useful, great ideas about how to be a real professional trainer and respected in your job.Thank you for sharing so many instructions and "secrets" with us. As a very ambitious person who also sees myself at the top of the fitness industry, being a trainer with all the qualifications and qualities, it would be my pleasure one day to learn more from you.

Aleksandar

I’m full of positive impressions about the 2 weeks of education. You are a great coach, teacher (leader). I increased my knowledge, heard a lot of new things and ways of how to grow up in this business. You showed us what a leader needs to have, especially charisma. I feel your energy, passion for this job, it’s clear that you were enjoying every moment. You were also there for any questions we had. Communication was at a high level. Thank you for your time, sharing knowledge with us, and giving us the opportunity to be better. Hope to see you again. We are waiting for a new advanced education!

Filip

In the past seven days, I've learned a lot about training, life, and PT. It was very interesting to follow your lectures despite the tiredness that came to us every day. The course is very well designed, but it would not have been that good if we did not have a teacher like you. I would like to thank you for the knowledge you have transferred, which will surely help me in my future work as a PT. Your courage and desire to teach us new things has been enormous, so I will always be happy to visit your workshops. Best regards until the next visit. All the best!

Luke

Dear David, we had a great time with you.
You are a great teacher in your work. It was my pleasure to meet you. I learned so many good things, you made it a great team. I hope that we will continue to be friends in the future.
You have my full recommendation.

Svetlana

David is a good man. He's a better coach. I definitely feel for you. As if I have laid it down. Thanks for the support! Thanks for every second, minute, hour, day! For knowledge transferred! It was a great opportunity to meet you! See you next year in new challenges! NEVER GIVE UP!

Fantastic week…Full of positive impressions…I was impressed with the amount of knowledge you managed to transfer to us…Your energy is inexhaustible and it is fascinating how much you kept our attention these days…You have an incredible gift for transferring knowledge down to the smallest detail…I have no words to describe how amazing you are as a teacher…I think that all of us in the group are very grateful for that. You showed that you were a wonderful person giving people a second chance to be better...thank you for that...Thank you for opening new ways and opportunities for young people...I wish you and your family all the best from my heart.

Nela

Hey David... hope you got home safely... just wanted to say that everything was spot on and everyone is really satisfied with the results of the DS personal training school program. You are a good person and now we all look up to you as our mentor, you know. So thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Sara

I already miss our classes. For me, it was the best experience I've had in my life. You were amazing, your teaching skills are top notch. Your nonverbal communication is so good, you are both a personal trainer and a teacher. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for that. I also think your school is the best in our country. That's why I chose DS School, and you confirmed that.

Milan

Sukurica

Dear David, Let me once again say that I already have a great opportunity to meet you. I will never forget your face, smile, will, and energy... that you had every day for an hour and a minute. Classes and learning were high, because you were in control of it. I thank you to the sky for transferring your knowledge to me, and that I will use it in my life to build myself and help people around me. Once more, thank you, and all the best!

Vlahovic

I am very honored to be part of the DS School and I am positively surprised by your knowledge, experience, and charisma.

You do your job professionally and I will recommend you to everyone I know as a real professional who does his job perfectly. It was such a pleasure listening to you while lecturing. Regarding the program, I have to say that I am really impressed. I particularly liked the workshop for fat burning and losing weight which I attended.

Looking forward to seeing you in April, because I will be attending the second workshop and the Nutrition workshop.

The course was the best, as I sent you in my text message. Thanks again, man, for everything! Sad that it's the end of the course, but happy because you encouraged me to give 100% and never give up. That's the mindset of a real champion!

Hello. I would like to thank you for seven incredible days. We learnt so much. You are a great teacher. More than great. You have incredible knowledge and you transfer it to the students in just the right way. We enjoyed listening to you and watching you. After all your years of work, you still have such passion. I'm glad that I chose this course and that I met you. I would recommend this course. It was a great honor to "cooperate" with you. I send you my warmest regards and wish you all the best. Of course, I'll see you in April... to teach us something else useful. Stay the best.

My name is Marko Vukcevic and I’m from Podgorica, working as a personal trainer.

I want to improve my knowledge and learn about DS School, but I could never imagine that it would be a lifetime experience. It exceeded my expectations, and the level of knowledge we gain is so vast and powerful that it will definitely take my business to the next level.

Professor David was brilliant, a true leader who showed respect to all of us and became a great friend. His skills as an educator are incredible, both in practical and theoretical terms.
I had never thought that marketing and leadership skills were so important for this job, but after this course I realized that they are one of the most important things. I learned what it means to be a "21st Century" personal trainer. It's not just about training sessions in the gym, it's about leadership, motivation, inspiration, becoming someone that people will follow.

There were so many details in the exercises, angles, time under tension, range of motion, and every other aspect that will be very useful for my work with regular clients and also athletes.

I completed Faculty for sport and physical education, but this course will give me much more for me as a coach.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge and obtain a globally recognized license.

Maja

It was a great pleasure for me to attend your PT course, above all because they are very high educational, and I think I have learned a lot, how to approach clients, how to properly train and make training programs. I think that my level of confidence after your classes is at a much higher level. At the same time, I achieved some new friendships, and with joy I listened every minute of the lectures, as well as every movement in the practical part. I am very pleased with the course and with you as an educator, and I recommend you to everyone who wants to become a PT, and I would influence their decision, because they will certainly be satisfied. You are a great lecturer, because you have a great approach to people, warmly, with a smile, and with a great will I have learned every step of the course during these days. In this way, I thank you for your excellent education and friendship.

It’s great to meet you, because you’re really wonderful. I believe that we will see you in April at an advanced level, because we always need to upgrade our knowledge.

Frankie / Angered MBIK

First of all, I would like to thank David for his excellent cooperation and an educational experience. During the 2019 season, David Samuyiwa served as physical trainer/physiotherapist for the now Division 4 team, Angered MBK. In a short period of time, David succeeded in creating a positive culture where individual players gained knowledge about their responsibilities and roles in their development. David constantly referred to the need for success factors—physical, psychological, lifestyle, environment and culture, organizational, social, and technical—in order to develop talented players and good role models. There were constant discussions about how a network of players, family, school, club, and association needed to work together to create the very best conditions for young people to develop. David is undoubtedly a major contributor to the then Division 5 team, Angereds MBIK's, advancement to Division 4 in the 2019 season. In his role as physiotherapist, David created a good platform where players received training in physical training, nutritional advice, scanning, mental coaching, etc. David was linked to two teams in the club, and both teams managed to achieve their goals. The club's representative team had the goal of advancing to Division 4, and the club's P05 team had the goal of participating and performing well in a major recognized tournament. Both goals were achieved when the senior team managed to stay in good form and ended the season with six straight wins, while the P05 team managed to win the GAIS Open. David is a pleasant person, meticulous in his planning, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is undoubtedly a major contributor to our sporting successes, and we are extremely proud and grateful for our excellent collaboration.

Armand thinks it's good. The goal is for him to become mentally stronger and more daring, to think more about himself.
As a striker, you have to think about yourself and be more daring in order to build self-confidence. It's important that you also push him on those aspects. Then the goal is to become faster and quicker in his turns as a striker. He also needs to become physically stronger to be able to go into duels/close battles and protect the ball. But I notice a big difference in Armand now compared to a year ago. He is more daring now, but there is still room for improvement. Armand is happy with how you are handling the training sessions. Feel free to push him hard, as he is constantly challenging himself to develop. If you have any questions, please get back to me.

Jesper ÖIS P15

David is an ambitious and knowledgeable physical trainer, mental coach, and leader for Örgryte is P15. He is appreciated by the other leaders in the team and the club, and it is clear to the players how much he is appreciated, as many of them also work with David alongside their regular soccer training.

Karim Jassim / City of Mölndal

David Samuyiwa works as a personal trainer and, as a former elite athlete with extensive coaching experience, David knows what it takes to achieve individual goals through physical training.

With pedagogical skill, warmth, and dedication, David has been helping my two boys, Elias, 20 (who plays for Lindome GIF), and Rami, 15 (who plays for Öis), since November 2019.
David has analyzed, explained, motivated, and inspired the boys with his ingenious creativity.
Both I, as their father, and my sons have noticed significant differences since David arrived.

In addition to significantly improved physical fitness and conditioning, David has also developed the boys' mental abilities. Perhaps most impressive is the boys' willingness to train, and above all to train correctly. Their attitude and motivation to achieve their goals will undoubtedly benefit them in other contexts in the future.

David managed to strengthen my boys' physical and mental health in a short period of time. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend David for similar tasks. Those who seek David's help will get a very dedicated, experienced, and warm-hearted personal trainer.

Laic

My son started playing soccer when he was 6 years old. Right from the start, I noticed his determination and how passionate he was about soccer. He has developed incredibly through all his training, but as a sports enthusiast myself, I always wanted to see a little more from him. Last year, all of us parents whose children train at Öis had the opportunity to meet David Samuyiwa, who talked about diet and health as well as training. After this meeting, I asked him if he could start training with my son. It was easy to come to an agreement, and after two weeks, my son started training with him. After just two hours of training, I saw fantastic results. My son started to get stronger and stronger and much better with his self-confidence. Today, after 11 training sessions with David, my son is a completely different guy. First of all, he is much faster, mentally stronger, and his self-confidence is at its peak. We will continue to train with David because it is worth it for my son and his future career. Thank you!

Ivan

Andrej has a dream that many boys have: to be a professional soccer player. But the competition is fierce.

To achieve his goal, he has enlisted the help of David. By improving his fitness and strength. Being stronger in duels and faster with the ball.
Working on what he is less good at and improving what he is good at.

He has not only received assistance with physical aspects. His self-confidence has improved, and he feels a bit more secure. He receives advice on where to eat and drink.
However, he still has much to learn.
Many thanks to David!

Omari

David was part of our coaching staff during the 2019 season in Division 5 Gothenburg! The team achieved its goal by advancing to Division 4. David played a major role in that achievement! The team's focus was mainly on the physical aspect of the game, while David was able to add nutrition to the mix! Many young players with ambitions to play at the highest level benefited greatly from David! We at the club would like to thank David very much for the time and professionalism he brought to our locker room!

Ali / Örgryte IS U19

David has joined ÖIS's academy with a passion for improvement and development. From day one, David has worked for the best interests of the players. Using tests and measuring instruments, he has drawn up a clear action plan to develop the players both physically and mentally. With his extensive knowledge and energy, he helps the guys to always get the most out of themselves. From a coach's perspective, it is clear how the strength programs are tailored to soccer, both in terms of strengthening the body and preventing injuries.

Melissa

The training has been intensive but very informative. You have been an excellent trainer who explains things well so that everyone understands. I appreciate that you wrote a lot on the board so that we could copy it down while you were explaining. The course as a whole was enjoyable and beneficial, and we looked forward to coming back the next day to learn even more.

Goga

So the things I want to improve are:
Stamina: I want to control the game from 1-90min, run and get the ball more often.
Running technique: As you said, my technique is poor and makes me slower and overworked.
Some good exercises for core and leg strength.
I just want some tips and exercises to get started! Thanks again, David!

Nils

After working with David for a year, I can feel a big difference in my strength, both physically and mentally! David is not only good at training and coaching, he is also a fantastic friend and person!
