BIG COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE IRON FOUNDRY.
We’re excited to welcome Daniel Wade to the coaching team.
If you’re serious about achieving your goals, whether that’s getting stronger, dropping body fat, building muscle, improving athletic performance, or simply getting back in shape despite a hectic schedule, Daniel brings a level of experience and practical knowledge that is hard to find anywhere in Dubbo.
Daniel isn’t just another PT with a certificate. He has done it all!
✔ Cert III & IV in Personal Training
✔ 25 years of lifting experience
✔ Extensive background in powerlifting, strength & conditioning, hypertrophy, and general training
✔ 8-time Australian powerlifting record holder
✔ Ranked 6th all-time in Australia for multi-ply powerlifting in the 110kg class
✔ Ranked 9th all-time in Australia in the 125kg class
✔ 3rd highest squat of all time in Australia in both the 110kg and 125kg classes
✔ Former representative-level athlete across rugby league, rugby union, gridiron, and track & field
✔ Experience managing gyms in Sydney
But what makes Daniel especially valuable as a coach is that he understands the reality of balancing training with life.
As a nearly 40-year-old shift worker and dad of two young kids, he knows firsthand what it takes to stay strong, fit, and progressing while juggling work, family, and the chaos of real life.
That makes him exceptionally well equipped to help busy adults — particularly dads — build sustainable results without unrealistic expectations, lazy, AI or cookie-cutter programs.
Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, strength development, better habits, or finally training with purpose, Daniel will give you practical, evidence-based coaching built around your life.
Spots are limited.
If you’ve been waiting for the right coach to help you get serious, this is it.
