Client Spotlight: Dave D.

Zemer Method: Coaching Client Spotlight – Dave D. I have been working with Dave through my Accountability Coaching via @getverb. He came onto coaching with the ultimate goal of losing weight and getting in the best shape of his life. He’s a busy lawyer who travels 2+ times per week for work. Here are some of his wins so far:

✅ Lost 32lbs since starting with me in October 2024
✅ Consistently hits 12k step goal each and every single day
✅ Lifts 4 times per week; twice with a trainer and twice on his own

Here’s what his doctor had to say at his annual physical:

“One of the top five year-over-year transformations I have seen in my career without weight loss medications.”

In five months, his markers had changed drastically:

⬇️ Visceral adipose tissue is down 60 points – from 120 to 60
⬇️ Body fat percentage is down 11% – from 31% to 20%
⬆️ VO₂ max is up slightly from 49 to 51
➡️ Lost very little muscle mass despite significant fat loss

Dave said, “I cannot thank you and your team enough. This isn’t just life-changing—it’s life-prolonging.”
