Due to my thai boxing background my style of training tends to differ to your average personal trainer. Treadmills...bikes...cross trainers...resistance machines....most people are bored of the same old routine...
I have well over 20 years thai boxing experience, ive fought professionally both in Thailand and nationwide winning several titles along the way and retiring rank no.

I've tried all types of training before and dans training is by far the most enjoyable! Not only does he get you into great shape but he does it whilst teaching what he loves, I have never felt fitter in my life, from his fitness classes, to his Muay Thai classes, either way it's what I look forward to doing week in and week out! Highly recommend!!!

Not only is Dan an absolute inspiration but a fernominal trainer. Its a true privilege to be taught but our WBC British & European champion.
He has bundles of authentic Muay Thai knowledge from many years of training out in Thailand & competing!
He creates a great mix of traditional Thai Boxing with a dynamic twist.
A session with Dan never disappoints, his energy is infectious, I have never had a dull session.
Thanks for being such a motivator, building my confidence & helping me enjoy fitness.

My two sons (12&8) absolutely love the intensity and knowledge that Dan uses to train them in Thai boxing as well as the no mercy strength and conditioning sessions.
Their fitness level has improved dramatically since training with Dan.
It’s amazing how his personality transfers onto them and how well my kids respond to his instructions. The one hour session is their high light of the week by far. Well done Sir!

You won't find a PT out there better than Dan! Dan's classes are for everyone no matter what age/size you are. He will tailor your class just for you so you will get the best out of it. Dan makes every session fun and each one is different from the last. Give him a try and go see for yourself :-) More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Clients input and feedback is important when goal setting, i will listen to their wants, needs , likes and dislikes and help put together some realistic smart goals.
I will also ensure that they learn something new every week and enjoy each and every session.
Every step of the way i will be there with any fitness or nutrition advise they may need.
Motivation.......depending on the goals of course, i find that by running several fitness and strenght tests , and taking a few body measurements and photos, can really help with motivation when reviewed every 4-6 weeks.
I will push my clients when needed, some harder than others. Once i have built that relationship with my client and i know their capabilities and limitations i will push them as hard as it is safe to do so....lets face it guys, results do not come easy!!
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Not wanting to state the obvious, but hard work and good nutrition is essential.
You will need the dedication, motivation and the right positive mental attitude to push yourself to new limits time after time after time. Push through them plateaus , stay confident, positive and above all believe in yourself....you can do this!
Listen to your body, ensure you are getting enough sleep and rest to recover and repair.
Dream big.....you only live once.!
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people feel better, meet their fitness goals and enhancing the quality of their lives. Witnessing them being a healthier and happier version of them self’s every day is priceless .
Plus, i am a active, energetic and social lad, so training other people and myself every day is exactly what i want to do in life...win win.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Sorry, no long story about me losing half my body weight in a bid to save my life and wanting to help other people in my situation.....
I was made redundant from a company after 21 yrs of employment. So due to my passion for health and fitness, plus the fact that i had been teaching thai boxing for several years, the decision to work from my own exclusive studio gym as a personal trainer was very obvious...
I had already helped many people of all ages ranging from 5-50 become more active, get fitter, stronger, leaner and improve their confidence. This is what i wanted to continue doing on a full time basis.
No regrets ....im loving it!
Why should our clients choose you?
I’m down to earth, non judgemental, energetic and i beleive i can offer that something different to your training experience.
I work form my own private gym providing private sessions or small classes.
Due to my fighting experiences i have learnt a lot. I have trained in gyms up and down the country and many in Thailand learning all kinds of different styles and techniques.
I am a people person, I love meeting new people from all walks of life and not only do I get great results, but my energy and enthusiasm certainly helps to motivate my clients and keep them coming back.
Each new client will receive a copy of my new recipe book which includes 32 mouth watering healthy meals.
