"As an older athlete I very much believed that pace was a thing of the past - Dave Vaux's sprint Prehab program totally changed my attitude towards this. After completing the program I was clocking times I hadn't achieved in well over a decade. The routine is now very much a part of my overall training plan."

"David played a massive part in preparing my
body for the Touch European Championships. Through the winter he provided me with pre-tournament strength and conditioning which really developed my speed and endurance. The time and effort he put into an on going injury really allowed me to play to my potential through the tournament. Many thanks for the advice and out-of-hours work you put into me, it really prepared my body for a tough tournament."
