What David Says

“FREAK Fitness represents the cutting edge of training for health, wellness, conditioning and elite athletic performance. Forward thinking is vital in the fitness industry, and the approach of Darren and Christina shows a real interest in the wellness of their clientele. Having had personal experience in mixed martial arts and CrossFit training, and in being a senior editor for the world’s best fitness, bodybuilding and MMA magazine, it’s awesome to see this calibre of fitness program being offered in Winnipeg. It’s apparent that FREAK Fitness is the industry leader in Manitoba. I thank FREAK Fitness, Showtime Sports Supplements, and MABBA for inviting me to Winnipeg and for the opportunity to work with some of the top bikini, fitness, figure and bodybuilding athletes in the province. I look forward to seeing everyone over the March 19th weekend.”
