Words alone cannot describe how incredible Dave Parise is. He is not just an instructor, author, and leader in the fitness industry, but also passionate about the safety and well-being of all people who try to live a healthier life through personal fitness. I retained Dave to assist me in a lawsuit I had filed against an inexperienced trainer who had my client undergo a dangerous exercise maneuver resulting in her suffering a life-changing injury with resulting surgery. Dave worked tirelessly documenting the violations of the fitness and training standards and wrongs of this instructor and his fitness center.  His fee was more than fair for the hours he spent reviewing discoveries and conducting research.  I felt it was more important to Dave to expose the wrongdoing of the instructor and the dangers he posed to the fitness community than the expert fee charged.

I without hesitation recommend Dave as an expert witness as he is an individual who has dedicated his life to personal fitness and safety.

I retained Mr. Parise for a client’s shoulder injury from a dangerous exercise choice by a personal trainer. Dave was extremely thorough, looking at both the micro and macro failures that led to a needless injuries. Mr. Parise’s in-depth independent discoveries were extremely valuable in building this case. He explained both the personal errors and institutional failures by the defendants that led to this inevitability. His impeccable work ultimately ended with a full-value settlement for my client. Dave is professional and extremely well-credentialed, and his passion for the field of safe personal training is palpable.

I would recommend him without hesitation.

I utilized Mr. Parise’s services as an expert witness in fitness on a rather difficult case involving a local fitness center.  Mr. Parise went above any beyond in terms of his preparation and report, even contacting the State Fire Marshall on issues of occupancy.  The successful resolution of this case was due, in large part, to Mr. Parise’s report.  Throughout litigation, Mr. Parise was available for consult by phone and e-mail.   My firm will be sure to use him again should we have the opportunity. -Thank you Dave

Dave, Pleased to inform you the case settled last week, report was amazing, thank you for your diligence.

In 2015, I employed Dave Parise as an expert witness and fitness consultant in a treadmill injury case arising at a family fitness center.  Mr. Parise’s knowledge and expertise of the industry standards applicable to such facilities were invaluable in preparing the case for trial.  His deposition testimony was instrumental in helping us reach a very favorable settlement for my client.  He was well-prepared and thoroughly familiar with the facts and applicable standards that supported our client’s claims.  I have heartily recommended and will continue to recommend Dave as an expert consultant and witness to any members of our bar who handle personal injury cases arising from the claimed negligence of health fitness facilities.

EXPERT WITNESS FITNESS  Consultation and Deposition Testimony  10/28/2022

Dear Mr. Parise:

I want to thank you for your excellent work on my client’s case against a fitness instructor, and yoga teacher, who combined to cause my elderly client significant orthopedic injuries. Your insights were extremely helpful to us relative to phrasing our complaint against the defendants. Your dynamic presentation at your deposition was a deciding factor in convincing the defendant’s insurance carriers to settle the case.

In the event that I have another case, you will be my first call.

Thank you for your professionalism in this matter.

Very truly yours,

Philip r. Dunn, Jr.

I hired Mr. Dave Parise as my expert witness in a personal injury matter where I represented a young man who was injured in a big box gym franchise. Dave’s expert report and trial testimony were invaluable to our success, and we set what is believed to be a record verdict for the specific type of injury involved. A major part of how this was achieved was because Dave was our expert witness in this gym injury, and that brought added credibility to our claim. Mr. Parise is not just a gym expert when it comes to gym safety protocols, Dave is THE expert in this field. His resume, experience, achievements, and his personality while testifying all make him an expert that you must hire if you want to win any gym safety case. I would, and still do recommend Mr. Parise, to add credibility, and build the case.  Thank you, Dave Parise, on behalf of myself, my firm, and my client.
