ISABELLA
Six Months ago,before I met David and Marc, I had 20lbs extra weight on me.
I wasn't completely unhappy with my body or anything, I suppose I just came to accept it.
These are my arms, they
are not slim, Fine! that's who I am. This is my belly, on
occasion I am asked when am I gonna have the baby, OK FINE! That
is just FINE! That is not how I think anymore.
I am capable of looking amazing and I have the RIGHT.
It wasn't more than 3 weeks that my bestfriend, Audrey became
curious on how all the fat was melting away.
She couldn't believe how fast I was losing all the weight.
She came to a free class and joined that day.
Now all we do is eat right and tell each other how great we
look. It won't be long until your bestfriend or significant other
asks you how to get what you just got!
Having a personal trainer is very important for motivation
and focus. The support of having a personal trainer is essential
for a true transformation in your physical appearance.
Finally it is affordable and not only for the rich and famous.
Nu Tae Kwon Wei and Nu Tae Bo Wei has taught me everything
I need to know about having a healthy lifestyle.
You will be trained on how to stretch properly, eat properly,
weight lifting, boxing, yoga, breathing and your abs are gonna look
AWSOME! David and Marc will take you to the next level to
where your body has never looked so good.
Two of the most dedicated Brothers are here to serve you,
they have been truly a blessing. I love them both very much.

My first time with David Boivin, I was so out of shape I got dizzy during the
warm-ups, couldn't do the simplest stretches, and could barely manage twenty crunches, I had never worked
out, never gotten any real exercise at all, But David's combination of gentle instruction and
drill sergeant style cajoling kept me coming back, and now, eight months later, I am like a new
person. In eight months, I have gone from 140 pounds to 120 pounds, have taken nine inches off my waist,
two inches off my bust and three inches off my hips. I have gone from a size 10 dress to a size
2. But more importantly, I have muscles and stamina I never dreamed of, as well as strength and
balance. I can hardly believe it's me when I look in the mirrors in the gym as I do kicks and
punches. David's skill as an instructor is beyond compare. He never lets me quit, makes me push myself
way beyond what I imagined my limits were, while simultaneously letting me know that he has my back
and will be there to help me if I need it. Now I'm learning boxing with Marc and he, too, makes me
work harder than I ever thought could a year ago.

About 3 yrs ago I went through a series of ailments
that led me to drop 30lbs, very quickly. I went from
weighing about 160lbs to just over130lbs (my lightest
weight since grade school). I was small, but not
healthy. As I went back to my old eating habits, the
weight began coming back. I found myself jumping from
trainer-to-trainer and gym-to-gym trying desperately
to stay thin.
At this time, several friends of mine were working out
with David. I was blown away as I saw their results.
I had to go take a class. After my first session I
was very very sore and sold on the idea. David’s
workouts are intense but amazingly fun.
I actually gained weight under David’s instruction,
but not inches. Instead I found my stomach becoming
flatter and my waist smaller. Parts of my thighs and
underarms really leaned out. In addition, I had more
energy in my day-to-day life. David focuses on an
array of fitness aspects. One of my favorite things
he does is called Super Stretch. Like Pilates, he
combines strengthening exercises w/ stretching so your
muscles elongate creating a long, lean physique.
After a few months, I incorporated Nu Thai Bo Wei
classes with Marc along with David’s Nu Tae Kwon Wei.
This was the perfect butt-kicking compliment to my
training program. With David, your movement is
somewhat fluid and choreographed. You actually feel
graceful doing some of the kicks. With Marc, you
punch. Hard. It’s intensely aerobic and helps to
boost your metabolism. Plus, nothing is a better
stress reliever than doing a series of Rocky
uppercuts, jabs and crosses.
It’s exciting to see the change in your physique; but
just as exciting to be able to accomplish kicks or
stretches you never thought possible. Your body WILL
CHANGE! You CAN make a difference in how you look and
how you feel. I never believed that before discovering
the Boivin Brothers. I’ve now adopted this
empowerment in other aspects of my life and created
wonderful changes!!! No matter what you look or feel
like now, you CAN CHANGE! You just need the courage
to put yourself out there and the Boivin brothers are
your number one cheerleaders and leaders to a leaner,
meaner you.

David’s Nu Tae Kwon Wei class changed my life! I was going to the gym, using the
treadmill and cross-trainer, but it wasn't enough. It became monotonous, un-motivating, and I
wasn't leaning up. Then one day I saw David training one of his clients and I was IMPRESSED. I had
seen other trainers, but David was different... It looked like it would be fun and challenging. So,
I took my first free trail session. I was right, it was challenging. It was also really
inspirational!! I knew from that moment on that he could help me reach my goals. I learned balance, correct
breathing skills, proper nutritional facts, martial arts, flexibility, and I had a BLAST while I
was learning... Of course, I was sore the day after my classes, but it was worth it!! I watched my
body change. The results were almost instant. I started getting lean muscle and my fat was
disappearing FAST!!! Unfortunately, I had to move out of state. I haven't yet found a trainer or class
that has been as satisfying and inspirational for me. David and his Nu Tae Kwon Wei class is a one
and a million experience. To this day, I've never felt as good about myself as I did with David's
training. He's a TOUGH, no nonsense trainer. No lie!!! If you are really serious about getting fit,
flexible, coordinated, losing weight, getting LEAN muscle, and having FUN at the same time, then
Nu Tae Kwon Wei will do it!! YOU have to push yourself David will guide you through it and
motivate you. Just look at my pictures, they are worth a thousand words! I promise you won't regret
it!!!

I was not happy with my appearance and did not have a clue how to lose weight or start
eating healthy. My pants sizes kept creeping higher and higher. I was overweight and tired all
the time, I had no idea how to eat healthy and I was generally fed up with myself. In June 2005,
I started with David hoping it was the perfect solution to my problem – I was hooked right
away. I had such a good time I sometimes forgot I was working out. He is easy going, supportive,
fun, creative and best of all, he is the best at what he does, which is to help people loose
weight, build muscle and reach their fitness and health goals. He wants each of his clients to succeed
as much as, if not MORE than they do! By September I started noticing a dramatic physical
change in my body. I kept showing up to class and kept having fun and feeling better and better, and
before I new it, I had dropped 2 pants sizes! I had gone from a size 9/10 to a size 3/4 and my
weight had dropped from 150lbs down to 125lbs. I also lost 5 inches off of my waist and hips and
most importantly I was happy and confident in my ability to keep the weight off. I am truly happy
with the way I look, and I feel I have the inner strength as well as the knowledge to keep the weight
off and continue to eat healthy. I have changed my body and my life-style for the better and it
would not have happened without the Boivin brother’s Nu Tae Kwon Wei and Nu Thai Bo Wei
workout.

I used to see those “before and after” commercials on television or in magazines…and like you…I laughed. Impossible I thought to myself. But deep down I always wished they were real. Those “doctored” pictures gave me hope. . I never thought growing up I would end up as a “before” picture. Especially not after being in the military for four years – and after that was over, so was my regimental lifestyle. After guns, tanks and battle-fields…I found a desk, spreadsheets and the S&P 500. I became a fat-cat on Wall Street – an adrenaline desk-jockey who sat sedentary for up to 15 hours per day. That was fine…until the crash of massive fiscal and physical proportions. You see I became a monstrous 238 pounds. I knew something had to change. So then I started with Michelle and began a 6 month weight-lifting program. After learning how to build muscle, it was time to learn how to burn fat with David. He put me on a kick-ass aerobic routine where I learned punches, kicks, blocks and stretches all in a Boot Camp style format that only Tore Up could offer. After shedding pound after pound I approached 190 lbs…and the thoughts of the LAPD entered my mind. It was then that David recommended that if I was serious about the LAPD, the goal had to be 170 lbs. I now weigh 169 lbs and have been accepted to the Police Academy! Tore Up has changed my life…and my pant size.
I can’t thank those guys enough.

MARC & JORDAN
As Marc’s publicist (he doesn’t do internet interviews) he wanted to let you know that yes…that is actually him, haircut and all. He has lost a total of 80 pounds with Tore Up and wants to let you know that he doesn’t intend on finding them. I on the other hand (the more ripped and defined guy on the left side of the photo) only needed to lose 30 pounds. We have informed David that when we become famous these pictures need to be removed from his web-site and destroyed. Actually, our agent says Tore Up can keep the “after” shot online for the world to see…but the “before” will only ruin our careers! Thanks to Tore Up…we now can do what any ripped 16 year olds in Hollywood only dream of doing …play video games of course!

I had previously worked out with Dave some years ago and then I lost my sights. I gained, gained, gained!!! Before I knew it I was trying to wear black baggy clothes and felt like the fat girl I always thought I would never let myself become. Always stayed active with sports in high school and college, then joined a few gyms after school to maintain, but then came marriage and good times were more important than my appearance. I just let go…
Until this last September I saw myself in a horrible way. It was the worst I’ve ever felt and looked, so disgusted I cried. I used to weigh 150lbs!!! My body fat percentage was off the chart!!! I was the heaviest weight I have ever been in my whole life, then I went back to the one trainer I knew could help me. David Boivin…the man who was made to whip people into the best shape of their lives! After taking David’s Nu Tae Kwon Wei class I am close to my goal weight, my body fat percentage is almost where it needs to be…and I feel AMAZING!!!! Thanks to the best trainer out there! David has given me another chance to look and feel my best ever. With great motivation, fun classes and challenging me all the way I know I’ll never lose sight again.
Thanks David!!!!
