I had the pleasure of working with Dan for over a year, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He is extremely knowledgeable, not just about strength training but also about proper form and injury prevention. One of my biggest challenges was a weak shoulder, and Dan helped me strengthen it significantly while ensuring I trained safely and effectively.

Beyond that, he introduced me to a variety of new movements and training methods that have set me up for long-term success in the gym. His approach is well-rounded, focusing on both building strength and improving technique, which has made a huge difference in my progress.

On top of his expertise, Dan is engaging and makes every session enjoyable. He pushes you to improve while keeping things fun and motivating. If you’re looking for a trainer who is skilled, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress, Dan is the one to go to!

I can’t recommend Dan highly enough! He is incredibly knowledgeable and always had the answers to any questions I had. Not only did I make fantastic progress in a short space of time, but I genuinely enjoyed every session. Dan doesn’t just motivate you to push through ‘one more rep’; he also takes the time to teach you about muscles, biology, diet, and recovery from mild injuries.

When I was struggling to lose weight, Dan worked with me to adapt my diet and workout regime, helping me finally achieve my goals. Later, when I hit a wall with building muscle, he adjusted everything again to keep me progressing. Every time I faced a challenge, Dan seemed to have the perfect solution.

If you want a PT who knows their stuff and makes training enjoyable, Dan is the one to call!

I have been training with Dan for over a year. I wanted to find a knowledgeable trainer who knew how to work with injuries and Dan has helped me so much physically and mentally.
After an injury that I was struggling with for a few years and numerous physio visits with no progress, Dan knew exactly what exercises and stretches would help me build back strength. He tailors sessions to my needs and every week is an improvement. I have even started exercising on my own after losing confidence and motivation.
I would recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for guidance and support in anyway they need to get back on track with their fitness.

I recently completed Dan’s 6 week kickstarter programme.

Dan’s training and support was exceptional during the process leading to significant strength improvements as well as supporting me with getting into a healthier routine that I have continued with since the programme.

During the programme I injured my knee and Dan flexibly re-arranged the sessions and built recovery exercises in which led to a speedy recovery and also increased my understanding of proper recovery.

Thanks again - Ben

I trained with Dan for 3 months to get more confident with weights and learn what exercises are good for my body. He was a fantastic personal trainer and I am so glad that I did it. Dan is really knowledgeable about the science behind why and how to do exercises correctly and this always leads to an informative and safe session. I would recommend Dan to anyway who is interested in personal training, especially if you want to improve form and your knowledge of how to use equipment.

Worked with Dan for half a year, working on building my strength and confidence in the gym. Dan is attentive, friendly, engaged and very knowledgeable, ensuring that you progress and achieve your goals whilst still paying attention to your safety and personal needs. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a PT and would consider training with him again.

I trained with Dan for almost a year while I was living locally, and it was one of the best investments towards myself! Dan was great and was able to push and support me beyond what I thought I was capable of, and he introduced me to exercises (and muscles!) I wouldn't have worked on on my own. Dan has plenty of knowledge and expertise, was nothing but kind throughout training, and definitely gives the VIP experience to all his clients! (He was super understanding of my fluctuating schedule.) His private gym space is also an absolute plus as you're both able to just focus on YOU without distraction or comparison. I highly recommend StAPT!

I have recently been training with Dan on his “6-week Kick Starter” programme and couldn’t be happier.

Dan really listened to my goals and tailored my training plan around them. I have seen great results (including doubling my bench press PB in just 6 weeks).

I will definitely be back in the future.
