Fitness-etc
Hi and welcome to Fitness-etc, a site that’s run by a real person. Yes, that’s me in the picture. My name’s David and I’m the person responsible for writing and posting articles on this site.
I hope you find the top tips, articles and features interesting and informative. The site is updated regularly and I hope you keep coming back to read up on latest equipment and training advice.
If there’s something you’d like to discuss or have a query then please fill out the contact form and I’ll get back to you.
Why this site?
In the summer of 2001, I decided to quit my job as a freelance Business Analyst, and try something else. Maybe it was a mid-life crisis, but I went back to college and trained to become a Fitness Instructor. Later that year, I qualified with my Diploma in Personal Training.
After a couple of years working as a freelance Personal Trainer, I decided to reach a wider audience and commissioned a new website to be built. I used my computing skills to create the Design and Technical Specification for a fitness website where you can get your workouts online. After many delays (typical IT project) I finally launched the site in the summer of 2007. You can find out more at www.davidharvie.co.uk
Following on from this, I decided to share information about fitness equipment and workouts based on my own personal experiences. Thus, fitness-etc was born. I enjoy writing articles and sharing my knowledge of health and fitness with others and I hope you find the site interesting and worthwhile.
My promise to you.
I don’t recommend products or services that I don’t believe in. When I review a product, I compare it to the manufacturer’s press release and technical specifications. I also check the item out myself and give it a thorough road test. I also try to give an unbiased view and let you know whether the product meets the maker’s claims or not.
Should you contact me by e-mail, then I promise never to give away, sell or abuse your email address in any way. I understand and appreciate how important your privacy is to you.
Thanks for Visiting!
