I have been training with Dave for more than a year now and can’t say enough about how great he is. I’ve worked with a number of different trainers over the years and Dave is definitely one of the best. He is patient, consistent, motivating and very mature for his age. He pushes me when he knows I am capable, trusts me enough to listen to me when I say I can do more (or less), and is constantly mixing up the workout to keep things interesting. He starts every workout with “how are we feeling today?” Because he genuinely cares and wants to address any questions or concerns upfront. If you are looking for a great workout with someone who is consistently upbeat, motivating, and knowledgeable, give Dave a try!

My husband and I have been training with Matt for almost two months now, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Matt has truly transformed our lives. Not only are we getting stronger and healthier, but we’re also feeling happier—there’s a clear mental health benefit, and I attribute much of that to Matt’s bright and cheerful personality.

Personally, I hadn’t exercised in over three years due to a head injury, and I’m so impressed by how much Matt’s training is supporting my recovery. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and tailors each session to my needs.

I also want to highlight how respectful and professional Matt is, especially as a woman working with a trainer. He maintains clear boundaries, which has made me feel safe and comfortable throughout our training.

If you're looking to get fit, boost your mood, and maybe even smile a little more, Matt is absolutely the trainer for you. I recommend him 100%.

PS: The "Matt Method Butt" is real... and it’s incredible! BEST TRAINER EVER!

Working out with Matt is an absolute pleasure. He is full of energy and always has a smile on his face, which makes things fun and gives you something to look forward to. My workout gains are better than I expected. Overall, Matt is a blessing in our lives, especially when it's cold and winter gets tough. He is the best trainer ever!

My brother, my wife and I have all trained with Dave and can’t recommend him enough! He helped me reach my goals when I was training for a competition and I was able to pass!

Both Matt and Dave are the best trainers on the shoreline and in Connecticut 100%

Stony Creek Athletics is the perfect space to work on your goals. Dave is the best of the best- very knowledgeable and continuously helping his clients grow. Dave has a long history of helping people overcome injuries and reach their fitness goals. His personal training is tailored to what you and your body needs- his patience and kindness facilitate the perfect environment for success for any age. He also does group classes which are always a good workout (and fun). Highly recommend!!!!

If you are looking for a gym to reach your goals and get down to business, this is the place to be. Dave Moore is amazing and has a way of making you feel like you are a member of his family. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of strength training, healthy eating, motivation, and overcoming injuries. There are no excuses tolerated (won't listen about those injuries from 7th grade) and he will give you just the right amount of push needed. Highest compliment paid was when my chiropractor said he wants to hire him to do the personal training for his practice. if you are willing to put in the work then Stony Creek Athletics is your win win.

I have been working with Dave for a few years now and have grown tremendously since I started my workout journey. His encouragement and attention to detail in our weekly training sessions is unmatched. I wouldn’t be able to have come nearly as far as I have without his help and example. Not to mention his personality and the close friendship we have developed over the years. Matt is also another great coach and his passion and dedication for his clients doesn’t go unnoticed. You can’t find this high quality training anywhere else.

I highly recommend stony creek athletics!!! I’ve been training with Dave for about a year and a half and I cannot say one bad thing! Dave has transformed my overall health, strength and conditioning! He is so personable, patient, kind, and a PHENOMENAL trainer. I started working out with Dave with about zero confidence in the gym, and in a relatively short amount of time I have learned a tremendous amount about working out and living a healthy lifestyle. I cannot thank him enough for sincerely changing my life for the better! His group classes have a fantastic energy (great variety of workouts) and his personal training sessions leave you feeling great!
