Bespoke 1:1 coaching that aligns with your body's needs and builds the strength, confidence, and longevity to keep pushing your limits in the gym, on the trails, and in everyday life
Through online and in person coaching
you're feeling this way right now....
You feel lost in the gym, stuck doing the same 5 exercises and randomly trying ones you saw online with no idea how to progress them week to week...
You've grown tired of watching videos claiming...“This ONE exercise is all you need to build strong legs” because you still feel like it’s complete guesswork when it comes to structuring your training and have started wondering if you’ll ever be strong enough to go on that hiking trip, outplay your kids on weekends or take on that fitness event you've always wished you could do
One month you're...
...Hitting the gym consistently, feeling motivated, and telling yourself this time you’ll stick with it. Then work deadlines pile up, family schedules get chaotic, and suddenly, you’re wondering if it’s even possible to make your strength and fitness a priority alongside life, especially with fitness classes that don’t take into account your unique body
You’re constantly battling tightness, knowing your body isn’t moving as well as it should and it feels like no matter how many massages you get, the same aches always come back. You feel like you’re caught in a constant cycle of trying to stay strong, active and pain-free, only to end up at square one, losing your confidence and thinking...
...“Is this what to expect when you get past 30?!”
Maybe you ARE already training hard, you’re putting in hours of your precious time, but have limited results to show for it. You’re frustrated because no matter how many tempo runs, hyrox workouts or climbing sessions you do, you feel like there is a missing piece to the puzzle. You’ve heard the benefits of strength & mobility training but you don’t know where to start
so wHY HASN'T IT WORKED FOR ME YET?
Building lifelong strength and fitness that improves the way you MOVE and FEEL, is absolutely possible for you no matter your age. Whether it’s setting a new HYROX PB, sending the next climbing grade, or just feeling stronger and pain free during daily life, you can achieve it
But this hasn’t happened
yet because…
Piecing random workouts together on your own or endless HIIT classes has no structure, no clear progression, and it never takes into account your body, your abilities, or your past injuries. You keep grinding, but nothing changes and all the while your old injuries feels no better
So let's change it for good
Start training smarter, not harder. It's time to start paying attention to quality, functional movements that improve how your body moves and feels with structured, individualised training
The stronger for life coaching methodology helps you lift heavier and train with intensity, but in a way that targets your specific weaknesses, improves movement patterns, and builds long term resilience. It is not about doing more for the sake of it, it’s about progressing with purpose so you get stronger, reduce risk of injuries, and feel better in your body
Train smarter. Not harder.
THE Stronger for life methodology
Client testimonial
Rob Napier
Rock Climber
"Climbing is a massive part of my life and it’s really important to me that I’m able to climb well into my 50’s and beyond. A year ago I was very busy with my business and let my own health and fitness slip, so I reached out to Dan for support. My strength and mobility has improved massively, the sessions are really specific to my climbing and longevity goals, it’s been great.
I’ve worked with various personal trainers in the past and nothing comes close to this style of movement mechanics training. Dan really takes the time to understand the demands of climbing and specifically what my goals are"
this is for you if
You refuse to believe...
your best years are behind you, and you KNOW that with hard, strategic work you can build lasting strength, so that picking up your kids, hitting a new squat PB, or signing up for that half marathon feels effortless
You want to truly make a difference...
to your quality of life and want to not only improve how your body moves, but how it feels too. So you can chase better performance without sacrificing how your body feels
You want to feel positive...
about training and look forward to your gym sessions, knowing that everything you are doing is paying off and worth your time. You do not want to constantly come up with your own workouts, second guessing whether your training is effective. You’re finally ready for a program that gives you confidence, structure, and real results
You're ready to say goodbye
to randomised workouts that give very little regard to periodised structured training or actually improving your technique
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
imagine if…
...Your times are getting faster because you’ve learnt to tap into new found flexibility, strength and stability that means you can push your body harder without it falling to pieces
For once you could walk into the gym with the confidence knowing exactly what you need to do that day, the correct technique for all your exercises and the confidence in your own ability that you feel ready to lift the heavier weights and challenge yourself
Turn up for a race or fitness event knowing you’ve had months of progressive, purposeful training behind you and you’ve not had to cling onto the physio table each week as a life line just to get you to the start line in one piece. Your body feels great and you’ve got the strength and fitness results to show for it so you can actually enjoy every minute of the event
You are lifting heavier weights and hitting strength PB’s you didn’t think were possible past your 30’s and doing it in a healthy sustainable way, and not waking up the next day asking yourself “why did I put that extra plate on the bar” with a stiff back and having to takes weeks off the gym
We Start With The Initial Movement Analysis
A comprehensive evaluation of your movement mechanics to identify the specific areas limiting your strength, fitness, and performance. No pass or fail, just a starting point to assess where you are at now
-
Range of Motion Assessment
We analyse your body head to toe using over 10 different range of motion tests to pinpoint which muscles are restricting your joints and causing compensatory movement patterns. We assess not just your flexibility, but also your mobility (yes, there is a difference, and we will show you why)
-
Strength & Stability Testing
Using a mix of compound, full body functional lifts and isolation exercises, we evaluate not just how strong you are, but how well you stabilise and control your joints. The goal is to assess your ability to move with strength, balance, and control. Not just so you’re strong in the gym, but strong for real life too
-
Technique evaluation
We get to put it all together and see how well you move and what your technical ability is. We will also delve deeper into the demands of your chosen goals and evaluate what you need to work on. This could be climbing, running, olympic lifting, hyrox specific movement mechanics or just simply taking a look at your technique doing beginner friendly bodyweight movements

"The knowledgeable coaching in the sessions helped me hit personal bests and get me lifting more confidently than ever. I can’t recommend Dan highly enough. The tailored plan he put together for me along with his great coaching got me back to a level of strength and fitness I wouldn’t have thought possible"
Ruth Jowett
"I was in shock after doing a press up! I’m so unbelievably surprised, happy, proud and thankful for your part in it! I always looked forward to the sessions, and always walked away feeling proud of myself. You always manage to make me try as hard as I can”

'Do it! It’s so worth it. I’ve I hadn’t, I would probably have continued going round in circles trying to teach myself for another 4 years. For skills that you’re struggling with, it’s so much quicker to learn them with PT as they can give 1:1 feedback and dedicate drills specific to your needs"
