After being verbally abused by a trainer at buzz gym slough - for leaving by the wrong door accidentally - It was the nail in the coffin for me and gyms. I was already growing sick and tired of overcrowded, smelly, gyms with bad attitude trainers and machines that do all the work. Dan provided the perfect tonic with his fitness plan - which are tailored to your personal need - as everyone is different.I chose to focus on boxing pad work where the focus on teaching technique is priortised unlike silly box fit classes.Yes it costs more than budget gyms but you really do get what you pay for.After a session of hitting the pads I feel like I've had a lung bursting workout more intense than any gym session and I'm walking on air as I've blasted all stress away.Highly reccomended but remember you only get out what you put in.

I started training with Dan around 6 weeks ago and just about to book the next 6 weeks as I have enjoyed it so much!

I first starting training with Dan a few years back and I can honestly say he is one of the best personal trainers. Dan brings has wealth of knowledge when it comes to Boxing, weightlifting and nutrition. Above all Dan is an excellent motivator and brings the best out of you. I have been boxing training with Dan and can say his attention to detail is second to none. I recommend him highly. The work outs are both intense but also fun. The training I have received from Dan has made me feel fitter but also very confident. Thanks Dan for all your support and training. More...

I have been seeing Dan for the last 8 weeks, I go with my husband and 2 girls, 12 and 15, twice a week and we all really enjoy the sessions. We are all seeing results with the training and enjoy the realistic circuit training Dan has designed for us that we do at home... I have also been enjoying some sessions with Dan and my sister in law, we love the boxing training, it’s exhausting and we feel like we’ve worked really hard afterwards! I have over the years tried a lot of different ways to workout, with Dan I am seeing the results of my efforts and I am enjoying exercising, win win! More...

I've definitely never been a Monday person, but having trained with Dan after work every Monday (& Thursday) for a couple of months, I now look forward to them. Enough said?

Dan's training programme is transformational. If you are looking to change your body and also develop a more positive mental attitude, look no further. Dan listens carefully to your requirements and so your training will exactly reflect your own personal goals. Not only that, he is an excellent teacher and a huge fountain of knowledge which means that skills that you thought were beyond you will start to become possible. However, if you are looking for something half hearted, then this is not for you. You will soon realise that Dan does not accept excuses. Be prepared to commit and your results will exceed all your expectations! More...

I have been training now with Dan for two months now. I still have another month to complete. When I came to Dan I had seen two other Personal Trainers. However, what was offered did not meet my personal requirements. Upon meeting Dan I knew instantly that I will start training with him. When I came to Dan I had let myself go physically for a few years. Coming from a strong full combat kickboxing background with a successful fighting record and acheiving 3rd place semi finalist at the British National Championships Dan listened to me wholeheartedly. He knew I needed a strong push and a strong trainer. Thats exactly what I get with him. I'm boxing now which I love and a change technically from kickboxing for me. I love it. We have stringent cardio and circuit training that I adhere to in my own time. I would recommend Dan to anyone wanting to better themselves physically. Dan is old school with a wealth of knowledge and experience in his field of sport nutrition and fitness. My body started to respond immediately after just a week. I look forward to winning my fight with Dan in my corner. He has become a friend. I was so fortunate to have found him as my trainer. Taj kharay Civil Servant45 years More...

I can honestly say for once in my life I am enjoying getting fit! I have lots of weight to lose and in the first six weeks I lost 9kg with Dan. My body shape is changing and all without starving myself. Dan explains why he is asking you to do things and will push you only as far as he knows you can go so everything remains motivational. As for the boxing he is a master, it's lots of fun, a little frustrating but really rewarding and it doesn't matter if you don't have any co-ordination, Dan works miracles. A refreshing change from the PT's I've had in the past who stick you on a machine and watch! I also had an Achilles' tendon injury and had problems finding someone who could help me, Dan knew immediately where to start and what not to do. I highly recommend his 'Old Skool' approach. More...

Hi just thought i would give my thoughts on training with Dan, i started with Dan this Jan 2017 as i needed to get my mojo back big time and get the weight off i had gained over the last few years and get a lot fitter, being an ex forces man i needed someone to push me but at the same time not kill me as i am 56. On meeting Dan i knew straight away this could work and wow, as it, doing the boot camp i have lost nearly 2 stone already, i have put in the training and clean eating. Dan knows how too push me to my limits and guide me into new training ideas, it is hard and sweaty and old school but for me its the best, cheers Dan the journey continues. More...

After an initial reticence to accept the need for someone to help me train, I was driven to realise I had hopped on-board a fitness `Roller-Coaster` not being able to train at previous intensities due to current fitness levels, and not being able to attain these levels of fitness due to work/life pressures and commitments The focus here wasn’t to lose weight, but to become leaner and recover lost elements of overall fitness. After some searching I found Dan`s Old Skool Conditioning and completed an initial assessment.This in-depth assessment covered general conditioning, nutrition, body mass elements, and my availability to train. Then drawing on his vast spectrum of fitness knowledge and experience, Dan created my unique training and nutritional plan.This intensive `fastrack` program delivered results from week one, feeling strength and endurance returning to my body, and coupled with a change of focus on what I eat (as opposed to a diet!) i found myself becoming leaner, with the pleasant side effect of also dropping weight as I shed 3lb in the first 2 weeks.My training plan toggles between a wide array of boxing pad work, speed ball, sparring and associated fitness exercises to increase muscle development and endurance whilst burning fat. The sessions are varied in content which keeps them both interesting and motivational, and from my initial decision to reach out to `Sensai` Dan has now become a lifestyle change for me, and as a result of the training I am stronger, leaner and able to train harder for longer now being able to get back to the type of sessions I `d complete 20 years ago…thanks Dan.

Having stopped any form of fitness 18 months and developed some poor eating habits, I found Dan through the web and started training with him. 7 weeks on, I've shed 18lb body fat (14.4 to 13.0), my fitness levels have massively improved and I've even developed some nifty skipping and boxing skills.A great motivator that balances individual's objectives, needs and skill levels but makes you work like you've never worked before. If you've ever tried Insanity and thought that made you sweat - Dan makes that look like a walk in the park, assuming that's what you want!I can see me and Dan working together for a long time - the results are amazing, and not a gym machine in sight.Just brilliant, thanks Dan.

I am 5 weeks into Dans training regime and l cant quite believe how much l have improved. In the initial consultation Dan listened carefully and devised a plan that, in the first instance, tackled the weakness in my core muscles and my stamina. This has resulted in much stronger core muscles and a much quicker recovery time after exercise in just 5 weeks.Dan is always watching, making sure the exercises are executed correctly & safely and to be honest l have never sweated so much in my life. He is great at motivating and when you really think you cant do one more squat or clean and press, his motivation gives you the strength to find that last fragment of effort.Dans Old Skool Training programmes are for people who want results and are prepared to work hard. I have lost 8lbs over the past 5 weeks and my body shape is changing which is exactly what l signed up for. More...

I've been training with Dan for 4 months now. I signed up for the 6 week bootcamp initially, in order to achieve the fat loss results I wasn't able to get on my own. Dan gave me nutrition tipps, and with 3 sessions per week of his intense fitness and boxing training I lost 1 kg of body fat in the first 3 weeks while gaining a ton of new skills. The results and the progress I am making with boxing kept me coming back for more, so I can only recommend Dan's training regime - to anyone who wants to put in the work!Dan is incredibly patient in his teaching and was able to transfer some of this patience to me. I have, over time, become a lot more patient with myself during the process of learning a new movement or technique, and I can honestly say that his coaching style has a positive impact that goes beyond my physical improvements.

I have been going to Dan for exactly 6 weeks. I have never seen my body changes so fast in 6 weeks time. I feel that i have much more energy and healthier.

He surprises you each week with different exercises. Whether it is boxing, kettle bell or circuit training, he always changing things around.

I took up personal boxing training for three reasons: firstly as a way to stay fit; secondly as a means to avoid the boredom that comes with general exercise by combining it with learning a sport; and thirdly because I was interested in finding out what the art of boxing is all about. It's been extremely rewarding. Dan is someone who knows his boxing inside out, and is meticulous when it comes to teaching it, explaining in a straight-forward way the fundamentals of technique to a beginner like me, and also what is required if you want to improve at the sport. Some of those requirements inevitably involve working on stamina and strength, and Dan has a comprehensive set of training exercises to help you do that, none of which require the use of a gym, all of which are extremely effective. He lays out a training plan based around your own level of fitness and the kinds of exercise you might already do, tailoring it to the time you can set aside to exercise. He also provides an excellent dietary plan by looking at what you tend to eat on a regular basis and suggesting ways in which you can introduce different foods that will not only help you maintain a balanced diet, but which are also appropriate to the kind of training you're doing. His army background means he doesn't let you cut corners when training, and he will push you to test your own limits, but it's all done in a friendly and encouraging way that is highly motivating.
