"My friend's son attended David's class years ago and couldn't wait to get to class each week. Just mentioning David's name would make him happy! David has a special "magic" with these physically and developmentally challenged people." -- Wendy B., 2008, (Friend)
"This class is a wonderful experience for learning and being yourself as well exercising with David. He is a great mentor with people who have different challenges in any age. To me the more you have fun with your life you will get to know David a lot more; he is a great and wonderful friend to all of us. David is unique in every way and he is a great supporter in the Special Olympics as well as a fitness instructor. - Andrea F., 2008, (Participant)
It was a pleasure to be present in the aerobics class and watch my son Christian and his friends enjoy every part of it. Even on short notice, we are very glad we did. This is something we were asking to find for a long time and it is so important to exercise the body for good health and mind. David is a great "trainer" and the youngsters connected right away with him and had a complete workout, which is really needed and very important. I sensed in them a freedom of movement, they had constant interaction, stress if any was not there, and they all had a real joy completing any task as their ability and without criticism. Special Aerobics Class would be an asset in their lives and I hope to see that it will continue in the future on a regular basis. - Mariana H., 2008 (Parent)
