Hi there, I’m Dan, a qualified and experienced personal trainer offering personal training in Bath and Frome.
Exercise has always been a key part of my life; I was part of the school rugby and athletics teams, which led into a bout of specialising in 5K runs and mud/obstacle runs (spartan races). Throughout all of this, weightlifting and functional training has been a key part of my training. I am a very strong advocate of health and well-being - your health is a lifestyle which consists of both physical and mental elements, so I'll advise you on eating nutritionally and getting your body to function the way it should, all while helping you feel good.
Having worked for Nuffield Health in a corporate environment in London, I have dealt with a wide spectrum of abilities and goals and I have learnt from some of the best personal trainers, physios and various specialists in the company. Nuffield Health is THE best health and well-being company in the UK, encompassing the whole holistic approach to improve everyone's physical health, mental health and dietary lifestyle which is the correct approach to getting permanent results that really changes lives.
My services are perfect if you’re:
Looking to improve your body composition (fat loss).
Working to increase your mobility and suppleness, be it from being able to touch your toes to reaching a sport specific goal.
Interested in the world of kettlebells.
Building core strength and postural reconditioning.
Advised by your GP to undertake exercise be it for obesity, diabetes or depression, I can create a specialist session tailored to your needs/
Or simply to get moving and generally fit and healthy.
Your goals are my top priority and, with the right attitude and determination, there are no reasons why you won’t succeed.
PERSONAL TRAINING
My personal training sessions are 100% tailored to YOU. Every client is different, therefore it is extremely important to create programmes and plan sessions to the individual. All abilities are welcomed and I take pride in being able to help my clients achieve their goals. No matter how big or small, every goal is equally important. Please read below testimonials from some of my previous clients.
“Since training with Dan I have noticed a huge improvement in my fitness levels. I’m constantly pushing the limits of what I think I can do as we’re always working through new exercises and challenges in the gym. His sessions are pretty hard work but they’re good fun and they’ve really paid off!”
“I started training with Dan 18 months ago in a bid to improve my general level of fitness after having had 2 children and actively avoiding exercise for most of my life. With Dan’s help I’ve achieved so much more than I thought possible, I’m in far better shape now than I was in my 20s. Dan introduced me to different ways of training and through a lot of patience and encouragement he taught me how to embrace new challenges instead of being afraid to step outside of my comfort zone. I’m amazed at how much I can pull, push and press now, as is my husband! Dan tailored sessions to my abilities and goals, always taking an old back injury into consideration. Working with Dan has also given me the confidence to train on my own around the PT sessions. My strength and conditioning has significantly improved and I can fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. Starting PT sessions was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
I offer a range of personal training packages for your convenience, including group and bulk options. I have also recently introduced a “more you train, more you save” offer to help you save cash if you’re looking to train more than once a week.

CLASSES
My classes are suitable for all abilities, from someone who has never exercised, to someone who works out on an advanced level. Exercises can be adjusted to your needs (within reason) and it's up to you to push yourself within your own level and beyond - but don't worry, I will be there to make sure you do! For example, if you are a beginner and you are doing the same exercise as someone who is more advanced, you can slow it down, focus on doing the movement correctly and do half the reps they do. With commitment and consistency you will be up there smashing as many (if not more) reps out as they did. You work to your own capacity as long as you exhaust yourself - who cares what others have done. It's you against you.

OTHER SERVICES
If you live outside of Frome, I can offer online programmes which you can follow at your own home or at your local gym.
If you’re a runner, I can conduct a running analysis to assess your running style to identify any areas that can be improved, be it any weaknesses or just bad habits.
