Integrity | Evidence | Experience | Results | Partnership

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the DW ACADEMY!

Integrity, evidence, experience, results and partnership.

These are the pillars that drive us forward each day and influence our service to you.

Many coaching programs can use big words and fancy sale tactics, but we hope from all that you have seen so far, that we let our actions and our clients’ actions do the talking.

Our aim is not to simply just get ‘results’, we want to have an impact on you that will shift your life’s trajectory for many years to come.

We cut through the noise, create clarity and empower you, so that you may live a more confident, energised and fulfilling life.

As a coaching team, we have two Honours degrees in exercise sciences and in 2026, all three coaches will have a Level 5 diploma in advanced nutrition, from Mac Nutrition Uni, which is considered the world leading evidence based nutritional qualification.Dave Watkeys is the head coach of the DW Academy and oversees all clients within the service.

Coach Missy and Tyler Brown make up the remaining 3-part team, and we all work together daily to provide the highest level of impact to all clients.

You have an option of which coach you would like to hire as your head coach, but the DW Academy is one comprehensive system, that benefits all.

“It took some convincing for me to come onboard with Dave. Let me say this — working with him has been life-changing. At 91kg and 174cm, it wasn’t a great place to be. I felt flat, low on energy, and my nutrition was through the floor. Something had to change. I’m now down to 79kg — and more importantly, I’ve sustained it. Dave worked with me every step of the way. Through two newborns, supporting my two older girls, being present for my partner, travelling regularly for work — and even holidays. He didn’t just give me a plan; he helped me build a foundation. Over the last two years, he’s instilled a mindset shift around health and wellbeing that’s changed how I operate day to day. I genuinely don’t think I’d be performing at the level I am — at home or at work — without that solid base he helped me build. His approach isn’t an eight-week quick fix. It’s about sustainable weight loss, proper nutrition, smart training, and being at your best for yourself and your family. If you’re looking for coaching that actually changes your life, there’s only one person to call — David Watkeys.”

“My husband and I have been working with Coach David and Coach Missy for a year now, and I can truly say I am not the same person I was a year ago. I’m making better choices for my health and have learned so much along the way. One of the biggest lessons has been realizing how hard I used to be on myself. This past year has shown me that becoming the person you want to be takes time, patience, and consistency. It’s incredible to see how they support each client in such an individual and personal way. Everyone has different goals and different journeys, yet they have the ability to guide each person not only to reach their goals, but to go even beyond them — and that’s something truly special. I’m so excited for what the future holds. I can already feel the difference within myself, and this is only the beginning 🤟✨”

“I’ve been working with Dave for the last year or so, and the experience has genuinely been life-changing. Over that time, I’ve lost an incredible amount of weight, built muscle, and just as importantly, become much happier and more confident in myself. What stood out most about the program was how hands-on Dave was throughout the entire process. He didn’t just give me a generic plan and leave me to figure it out. He educated me properly, about training, nutrition, and how my body responds, so I understood why we were doing what we were doing. That made all the difference. He also really understood my need for flexibility around diet, training, work, and lifestyle. The program never felt rigid or unrealistic. Instead, it was structured in a way that was adaptable and sustainable, which meant I could stay consistent even when life got busy. Dave is incredibly professional, accommodating, and results-driven. He cares about outcomes, but he also cares about the person behind the goal. The combination of structure, education, accountability, and flexibility is what made this such a successful collaboration. I can honestly say the results speak for themselves, not just physically, but mentally as well. I’d highly recommend working with him to anyone serious about transforming their health/fitness/lifestyle in a sustainable way.”

I’m grateful to have someone of his calibre in my corner and would highly recommend his services to anyone serious about improving their health and wellbeing.”

“Working with Dave has truly been a life-changing experience for me. From the very beginning, he has shown professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for my progress. He is always on time with my diet plans and adjustments, making sure everything is tailored specifically to my goals and lifestyle. What really sets Dave apart is that he doesn’t just focus on physical results — he genuinely cares about your mental state as well. He understands that fitness is not only about how you look, but also about how you feel and think. Throughout my journey, he has always been concerned about my progress, regularly checking in and making sure I stay motivated and focused. Dave is also constantly educating himself and expanding his knowledge about nutrition and training. He doesn’t just give you a plan and leave you to figure it out — he shares his knowledge with you, helping you understand the “why” behind everything. That makes a huge difference. He is always available to help, always ready to answer questions, and always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. If you’re looking for a coach who is committed, knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in your journey, I can confidently recommend Dave.”

“I am a silver package client being coached by Tyler. This programme has been transformational for me. Within a few months I’ve learned so much more about nutrition, biomechanics and energy expenditure than I ever thought I would need. It’s more than just physical transformation but a lifestyle transition. Dave and Tyler are exceptionally dedicated, knowledgable, talented, and helpful. They truly live the values that they preach and that quality and alignment is evident in their work. Highly recommend the DWAcademy for anyone looking for a full lifestyle change.”
