DAVID STAUFFER was born 21 March 1969 in Virginia, USA

Since 1993 David has been a master continuing education instructor for the Federation of Italian Fitness (FIF).  He instructs a wide variety of programs, including group fitness, marketing, communication, motivation and personal trainer.

He has developed three programs for group fitness:
— RTP (Resistance Training Program), which has three training levels – these programs develop intensity techniques when using small equipment.
— COMUNICATION, which is a program specific for group fitness instructors.
— BEST (Body Exercise System Training), which is a program specific for personal trainers and includes training with small dumbbells and barbells.

David is popular for his practical approach with instructors, explaining thoroughly the “why” and the “how” when presenting new topics to either novices or experienced instructors.

David’s teaching style is clearly athletic, which comes from his gymnastic aerobic background.  He creates his classes with the following motto in mind: “The intensity of the workout is more important than the complexity of the moves”.  His success on the international aerobic circuit earned him the title of “Best International Presenter in Italy” presented by “Fitness Italia” 2002.

With a B.A. in music from the University of North Carolina (USA) David has a unique way of combining strength with art to give his classes a special touch of sensitivity.  He presents a very special stretch class during which he himself plays the piano.

David has choreographed and starred in more than 10 fitness videos with Planet Sport and Fitness (Alessandria, Italy), Elika (Forlì, Italy) and Evolution “Cardio Flex” (Belgium). He is a co-author of Personal Trainer manuale per il professionista – edizione Centro Studi La Torre and contributes on a regular basis as a sports trainer writer to PERFORMANCE magazine.  He was the Italian sports television presenter for the World Aerobic Championships in Essen, Germany (1999).  He has been a guest on several television shows for Mediaset in Italy and has also been featured in several television commercials.
