Doing it with Dandy - Stafford, Queensland

Lindsay B.

I've been going to Dan for a few years now, initially to do a 12 week challenge and things went so well that I have just kept coming back! A few things that set Dan apart from other trainers (for me at least) are his positivity and genuine caring attitude towards his clients. He encourages me to push things a little further without feeling pressured and I always feel safe and supported in all my work outs. He is really flexible with times too which is good for those who do shift work (like me). Another great thing about training with Dan is the affordability! He has lots of different packages (like reduced rate group sessions) and classes which makes it easier for me to afford. My lifestyle has definitely improved since training with Dan. Thanks for a great couple of years!

I have been training with Dan for about 4 months and feel stronger, fitter, healthier and happier than ever before. Dan is committed to his clients and will always be on time and prepared so no time is wasted. He will adjust the sessions to personally fit your goals, current fitness and how you enjoy to work out. The Metafit classes are a real challenge but excellent to improve strength and cardio!

I honestly cannot speak more highly of Dan. I’ve had a LOT of trainers over the years and Dan has been by far the very best!

In terms of his training, he has created a lot of fun, yet challenging, well planned sessions that meet my goals each time. He’s put me through HIIT Training, Strength training, lifting technique, boxing, Pilates, cardio workouts - you name it, he’s delivered every time with my goals in mind! I know when I come to the gym I’m going to have a good laugh and feel the burn that gets results. His groups are innovative, fun and offer a different take on traditional group fitness classes - they’re small, developed to meet his clients needs and goals and delivered in a comfortable environment.

In terms of his ‘personal training...’ I think Dan genuinely cares about his clients, he goes above and beyond to be supportive and ensure a safe and judgement free working relationship. In the past I’ve been scared to talk to my trainers when I’ve slipped up with my eating, been out on the booze etc because they aren’t always realistic about the fact people have lives outside the gym. Dan gets it. I feel that one of Dans biggest strengths is his ability to push when needed and nurture you without judgement when you’re feeling low and help get you back on track by providing advice and strategies.

He is so down to earth and easy to speak to, you can have an honest conversation about where you’re at and receive valuable advice with your best interests at heart. Definitely recommend!!

Dan is amazing at his job really listen and wants to help his clients achieve the best they can. Dan has been on his own weight loss journey so he knows and understand how hard it is. If you come in to the gym with an injury he will create a workout that wont use that part of your body. Im so glad i gave training with dan a go. I had never done any form of exercise before i started with him.

I met Dan just before Easter this year after a long search for someone to help me out of my funk. I was exhausted. I'd had a few health issues and I really, just wanted to feel healthier so I could get more out of my day.

After training with Dan for the last few months I've gained strength, stamina and, despite the crazy early mornings, so much more energy
plus the bonus of being back in my healthy weight range for the first time since my daughter before was born almost 5 years ago!

I'm feeling fitter and more confident now than I have in a long time and I can't thank Dan enough. His support, flexibility and understanding set him apart from the rest. He is real and acknowledges that life is to be lived and enjoyed, which makes him the best trainer around.

I can't recommend him highly enough.

Thanks Dan!

Dan is the best trainer I've ever worked with. He tailors each workout with your needs and limits in mind. Dan's a genuinely cool guy who's easy to get along with, it's like working out with a friend who pushes you to do better!

Every personal trainer I've dealt with has been brought up with a love for sport and is naturally lean. which has led them to just fall into the job. They push you really hard, ask you to stick to strict diets and just tell you to try harder if you fail. Some people don't respond to that well and I am one of them. Dan on the other hand has been through the struggle, starting from being overweight, having arthritis and rising to where he is today; a fit strong and healthy personal trainer. He is great at supporting his clients and never pushes them further than he needs to. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is a little afraid of taking the plunge. I have moderate anxiety and while I sometimes struggle to drag myself to the gym, Dan is always easy to approach, encouraging and supportive. Most importantly, I have lost weight, gained muscle, and improved my fitness immensely while training with Dan, which has been for over a year now. Thank you, Dan!

Dan is a very experienced PT who genuinely cares for his clients health. Not only is he great at his job but he is a caring and easy-going person to be around. I highly recommend seeing Dan at Alternature to help achieve your fitness goals. Keep up the great work Dan!
