Testimonials

"Having been a person that was always busy with my job, never really felt I needed to do keep fit, but since retirement and awaiting a knee replacement I went to Dan's classes, as getting very unfit, and it's brilliant !!

Great crowd of retired people, love the way Dan makes things fun and interesting, works on your all over health.  From memory and exercises that get you much more mobile, even in the few months since I've been going it's certainly helped me, and I'm really noticing how much better other people that attend are, mobility wise !!  He takes great classes and I'm hoping to get a placement with the cycling class at some point !!  You rock Dan!!"

"Such a fun trainer.

Gets the exercises perfectly matched to ability with a bit of improvement to my performance each time.

Lots of chat and fun to take your mind off the intensity of the exercise.

Fully recommend Dan both as a class pilates teacher and also as a 1:1 PT."

"I've been doing Dan's Pilates classes for 18 months now and I really feel the benefit - more supple, better balanced, stronger.

I like Dan's approach: he is light-hearted and kind and also takes a serious interest in our personal abilities and our individual progress.

The classes are always full of good humour.  I am sure we all come away feeling better physically and mentally.

Thanks Dan, highly recommend."

"Having a long term autoimmune illness and long covid made it difficult to get motivated.  Dan is one of the kindest, most caring people I know, very professional with a great sense of humour, he cares about each individual and their specific needs.

Love the laughter and great music.  This weekly class is not only physical exercise, but meeting lovely like minded people.  This class has helped me a great deal overcome many challenges.

Thank you Dan."

"Can't recommend Dan's classes enough.

Everyone in our class has progressed so much over the last year and are now stronger, more flexible and confident about their mobility.

The classes are varied, using a range of equipment so you never get bored and Dan's quick humour lessens the pain of the lunges!

Dan adapts the class so that you can access it however fit you are and you can make it as challenging as you want.

Dan's class is very popular and he fosters a real sense of community and friendship amongst the participants."

"Was a rather reluctant new attendee at one of Dan's exercise classes - not wanting to do a class but realising age was taking it's toll on flexibility, strength and energy levels.

Two months later I'm doing up to 4 a week and loving them, especially the circuits.  Opting to walk on school run now and feeling so much better in general.

Thanks Dan for great encouragement and motivation always with a laugh thrown in."

"I need motivation to exercise and joining Dan's class has helped.  The classes are enjoyable and fun, as well as challenging.  I feel I am really benefitting from the exercises we do.

You can work at your own level which is good for older people like me with joint and mobility issues.

Dan gets to know everyone and takes an interest in them.  Keeps the class entertained!  I'm planning to keep up the exercise and improve my core.

If you are looking for an exercise class I highly recommend Dan."

"Why do I love Dan's fitness sessions?

Well, because I feel so much stronger, less bent and slouchy, much more mobile and more aware of the benefits of regular exercise and the changes it has brought.  

Previously I have attended other classes but Dan's are head and shoulders above the rest.

Also there's a really friendly atmosphere that Dan promotes.  You never feel like an outsider or on your own.  His humour and quick wit makes you laugh and before you know it you've done 6 squats or similar without hardly noticing!

He is also very kind and has a way of connecting with all of us.  I always leave his sessions feeling happy, with a strong sense of wellbeing.  Can't ask for anything more!

Thank you Dan."

"Lovely group, great instructor.

I went along on my own and made to feel very welcome.

Accommodated my disabilities....and I feel the benefit from joining this group.

Thanks Dan."

"Dan, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your sessions.  You are a swan amongst trainers, all relaxed fun on the surface while working hard beneath the scenes to tailor things to the various levels of the clients.

You can get everyone working to their ability and the cheerful banter means they hardly notice the effort.  Keep up the good work!"

"You make exercising fun, which is good and make's us smile."
