"I have known Daryl for over six years when he first started training my son. Daryl is a great trainer, but, even more importantly, a great mentor. Daryl has great experience working with kids of all ages and has a unique ability to get the most out of the people he trains. Daryl is a person of high integrity and someone whom I trust implicitly. He takes his work very seriously - he has a clear and well though out vision for what he wants to do and works diligently to help his clients achieve their goals. He has helped my son develop physically, but he also routinely provides him with advice and guidance. I would highly recommend him to anyone with kids. I have also worked with Daryl directly and would strongly recommend him to adults as well."
