Unglamorous consistency

“I have both 1-1 sessions and online coaching with Dan and honestly I couldn’t recommend him enough! When I first started I was terrified of the gym and would only go on certain machines because I was too scared to go anywhere else. Now I’m confident enough to go into ‘the scary bit’ with all the men and weights and actually know what I’m doing! He’s helped me so much with my food, tracking my macros and keeping me on track. He definitely keeps me disciplined and holds me accountable, but he’s never the type of coach to make you feel guilty if you have a sweet treat. I love the workout plans he gives me and I can actually feel myself getting stronger and making progress. He never makes me do something I absolutely hate either. He’ll always find an alternative, but if he knows something is going to really benefit me, he’ll take the time to help me build the confidence to do it and teach me properly until I don’t hate it as much. He’s genuinely helped me change my whole confidence in the gym and I’m so glad I started!”

“I’ve been training with Dan for around 18 months now, and honestly, I couldn’t recommend him enough. When I started, I was 36 and hadn’t really been in a gym since my early 20s. Work and life had just taken over, and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I was also a bit intimidated by the whole gym environment and the usual “gym boys” 😂 I contacted Dan and from the first session he made me feel comfortable. What I liked most was that he didn’t just tell me what to do — he actually explained what each exercise was for, what muscles I was working and why we were doing it. We ended up getting into a routine of 2 sessions a week with Dan and another 2 sessions by myself. Everything was tracked on the app, so he could see what I was doing in my own sessions and keep an eye on my progress. That accountability really helped. Fast forward 18 months and the biggest change for me is probably my mindset _(and my body)_. Going to the gym is now just part of my routine. It’s become a habit rather than a chore, and something I genuinely enjoy. Dan has been brilliant throughout — really knowledgeable, patient and supportive without ever making you feel like you’re being judged. If you’re like I was and feel a bit clueless or intimidated about starting at the gym, I’d definitely say give Dan a shout. He’s completely changed the way I look at training. Thanks Dan! 💪”

“I started training with Daniel in January 2026. Before Dan, I’d gone too far with weight loss. I had lost a lot of weight and, looking back at myself in December, I hated what I saw in the mirror. I felt like I looked horrific, and I knew I needed to change something. I had my induction with Dan in December and started training with him in January. I was completely new to weight training and had never properly lifted weights before, so I had no idea what I was doing. One of my biggest fears was food. After losing so much weight, I was genuinely scared that increasing my calories would just make me fat again. Dan built my trust from the very beginning. He didn’t just teach me how to train; he completely changed the way I think about food and helped me understand that eating more and getting stronger didn’t mean I was going to suddenly gain loads of fat. Since starting with Dan, I’ve gained around 12kg, with the majority being muscle, and the difference in both my physique and mindset has been massive. What I appreciate most about Dan is that he’s supported me through the whole process. He’s given me the knowledge and confidence to train properly, pushed me when I needed it, and most importantly helped me develop a much healthier relationship with food and my body. And, probably one of the biggest signs of how much things have changed — I actually walked around on holiday with no vest on for the first time ever and didn’t have any anxiety about it! 😂 That might sound like a small thing, but for me, it was massive. I genuinely don’t think I’d be where I am now without Dan. Going from being scared of gaining weight and hating how I looked, to being excited about getting stronger, building muscle and seeing what my body can achieve. I couldn’t recommend Dan highly enough. If you’re looking for a PT who will genuinely invest in you, understand your goals and help you change not just your body but your mindset too, Dan is your guy.”
