Hi, I’m Dan

I have been working in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years. I left school at the age of 16 to pursue a career in health and fitness, by the time I was 17 I was working for one of the U.K's leading health clubs, 'David Lloyd Leisure'. Over the 12 year period I was there I gained qualifications, knowledge and experience from training different clientele

I've taught various classes from advanced indoor cycling to circuit training and have had the pleasure of teaching classes for the England Cricket Team, West Bromwich Albion Football Club, Ex professional footballers as well as working with disabled athletes to help improve their strength for throwing or racing events

I left David Lloyd Leisure and began to work with people with traumatic brain injuries that resulted in them sustaining physical or mental rehabilitation needs, such as challenging behaviours

Here I worked alongside Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists where I helped to rebuild the clients strength and mobility. While working here I also became the Managing Violence and Aggression Instructor. I trained Doctors, Nurses and Rehabilitation Assistants on how to deescalate violent situations and how to perform break-away techniques if they were attacked

Over the last 11 years I have managed a gym where I work with a wide range of clientele, from those who want to lose a few pounds, increase muscle mass or improve their cardiovascular fitness to those with physical disabilities or medical needs. I also  work with professional athletes and fighters, one who is the current Lightweight World Champion in Bare Knuckle Boxing

I have a huge focus on helping people get fitter and healthier from all walks of life and ages. I have a wide range of experience to suit everybody so if you're serious about improving your health and wellbeing please contact me and we can discuss your goals and start your fitness or recovery journey together

" Helping you achieve your goal however big or small is my priority "

Testimonials

"Dan has been my Personal Trainer for well over 3 years now. He combines the important ability to design bespoke training programme with a quiet, respectful but highly motivating manner. Its probably going too far to say I actually enjoy personal training, but certainly would not wish to go to anybody else"

~ Professor Clutton-Brock~  MBE FRCP FRCA FFICM

"Really lovely down to earth guy, knows his stuff and my back feels so much better after a hours sports massage. Definitely recommend and will be retuning regularly to Dan"

 ~ Nikki L ~

"Dan has been my trainer for just under a year now and I couldn't be happier. He has not only helped me to lose weight but also lose fat and tone up. The training sessions are not only challenging but thanks to his knowledge they are really enjoyable too which means I want to learn more and keep going. Thanks Dan"

~Becky B~ Senior Lettings Manager 

"I've never felt comfortable going to a gym, not knowing how to use the equipment or the right exercises and looking silly, but having Dan as my personal trainer has changed my outlook on this. His encouragement and support has meant I have been able to take smaller steps towards my bigger goal"

~ Sue W ~ Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner

"Dan has done Personal training with me for several years now. He as a tough job, because I loathe the gym, any exercise, or action that requires movement. However, he keeps me focused to do something, anything. I change my mind on what part of the body I want to work on. He adapts my plan. I moan I don't like an exercise, he cheerfully gives me something harder. He never goes above my ability, and seems to know where I'm at, even when I don't. He does all of the above with cheerful hilarity and makes me laugh. This is the PT guy you need to keep you going. Book him, you won't regret it!"

   ~ Selena D ~ Registered Mental Health Nurse/ Registered Learning Disability Nurse

"Dan was fantastic, excellent and friendly service and legs feeling great following the sports massage! As painful as they are I’m still looking forward to the next one"

~ James P ~ P.E Teacher

"What an amazing Instructor not only on his 1-2-1 coaching but through his circuit training, every session Is different but challenging, just when you think you've done every exercise Dan pops up with something different. He can switch his teaching style up and that's what I like about him. When he see's me struggling the motivation he gives spurs me on to push and dig deeper"

~ John P ~ Builder 

"I really enjoy my Personal Training sessions with Dan. He has devised a plan personal to me, his style is relaxed, he mixes things up and somehow I always feel I've given that bit extra which I might not have done if I had been on my own" 

~ Mrs. B ~ Executive Assistant

"I always hated the gym, so when Dan suggested we try exercising outside or in the comfort of my own home or garden I was keen to try it. Although we didn't have much equipment that you would get in a gym, Dan still had the skills and knowledge to get me working using my own body weight or equipment he supplied. I was very surprised at the exercise options he gave me. So far I’ve lost nearly 2 stone. I’ve even found the confidence to go swimming but nothing beats the sessions I have with Dan as he pushes me out of my comfort zone without being to pushy" 

~ Sarah T ~ Retail Assistant

"Amazing! I'd been suffering with a really sore shoulder for a while due to work strain and general life stress, to the point it was impacting my range of movement. Dan's incredible, made me feel at ease and really gave me a good massage. I can now move a lot more freely and less restricted than before and am left feeling so relaxed. I'll definitely be coming again and have already recommended him to fellow colleague's and family"

 ~ Siobhan K ~ Care Manager

"I first met Dan when I needed his help and advice on how to increase my balance to prevent the increased number of falls I was having. The hospital was particularly concerned about building the muscles around my right knee which was in need of a knee replacement which the hospital was unable to offer because of my inability to weight bare on my left leg. Dan immediately starting telling me the best way to increase my muscle strength in my upper legs but particularly the muscles around my knee which has helped in maintaining my independence and well-being. 

Dan’s help has shown me that I can control what happens in my life, in terms of maintaining a level of mobility and independence despite not being able to receive a knee replacement; which I was so afraid of loosing when I first met Dan. He has continued to work with me and always encourages me to achieve my goals and aspirations. Not only does he work alongside a person living with cerebral palsy but I’ve seen him work with the same commitment alongside people living with Parkinson's, MS, Brain Injuries, Strokes, Severe Arthritis and Impaired Sighted"

~Lynne W~ Retired 

" Highly recommended. A friend suggested I use Daniel for an ongoing shoulder problem. He was very attentive to my shoulder and I've woken up this morning feeling less pain and more movement. He was Very professional and made me feel comfortable. I Will definitely use his services again."
