David Tuff

David Tuff is a Canfitpro certified personal fitness coach. He has had the opportunity to help people achieve their fitness goals over 5 years of experience as a trainer and leader at 9Round, and at Leduc Martial Arts Academy. David was able to guide members through kickboxing, HIIT, Muay Thai, and boxing routines. He worked with members of all ages, from adult to youth, and is well versed in both group and one on one settings. 

David is a firm believer in ‘training by example’, and will often challenge his members to reach their best fitness level by engaging in friendly competitions with them. One of his favourite challenges is the wall sit, and he has a fond memory of sharing in the excitement when his member finally beat him (resulting in David having to do 50 burpees!). 

David values safe and quality fitness, and is sure to only guide his members through exercises that he has personally tested. He is dedicated to supporting the achievement of all fitness goals, whether they are creating a healthier lifestyle, building strength, or learning a new skill, through accountability, trust, and fun! 

David is a loving father and devoted husband. He grew up in Leduc, AB, and participated in many various activities and sports - including football, volleyball, and Lacrosse (to name just a few). As an adult, David has trained in Muay Thai, winning gold in his division at a tournament, and had the opportunity to train two national title winning fighters. He is an avid runner and has completed a half marathon, a tri-it triathlon, and ran legs in both the Sinister Seven, and Canadian Death Race. 

David is a fan of pop culture, and enjoys attending comic conventions throughout Canada. He has fostered a talent as a freelance comic book artist since 2010, and continues to sell his art today! 

David has had the privilege of passing the positive benefits of fitness on to his two beautiful daughters, Lillian and Calla, and to his wife Nichole. He has been a welcome health and nutrition coach at home, finding new and exciting ways to eat better and get active! He has learned to manage both personal and professional stress, building resilience and balance into his lifestyle. David’s youngest daughter, Calla, was born with a rare congenital heart defect, and he has devoted time to giving back to the Stollery for their support and care, by organising and running a yearly fundraiser - Art for Heart - since 2017, raising over $47,500! 

David’s wealth of experience and knowledge is a testament to the patience and care that he brings to fostering mental and physical health and fitness. His mission statement is to guide others to achieve their healthiest selves, and reach their fitness goals, by getting you moving one step at a time!
