I've been training with Daniel for seven months now and I've loved it. He's made losing weight seem so simple. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of starting personal training.

I've been training with Dan for the past three years, and I couldn't recommend him more. Before we started working together, I'd never done any weightlifting and was always worried about getting injured. From day one, he made me feel comfortable and took the time to teach me proper technique, helping me build confidence with every session.

I started completely new to weightlifting and had no idea where to start. Daniel was patient, supportive, and created a personalised programme that was challenging but achievable from the beginning.

Jovi

Daniel is my first ever PT and I don't think I could have found a more perfect one. Every session is enjoyable but challenging, and he explains corrections clearly so I understand exactly what to improve.

I've been training with Daniel for around a year now, the longest I've stayed with a PT. He focuses on strength, flexibility, and mental health, and it feels like training with a buddy while still getting serious results.

Nigel

I've been training with Dan for the past year and a half, and I'm really happy with the results I've achieved. He took the time to understand my goals, identify what needed improvement, and tailor each session accordingly. He's approachable, attentive, and always willing to adjust the programme when needed, which makes every session enjoyable and motivating.

I got my first chin-up and pull-up after being coached by Daniel for a few months, something I had not managed in 5 years of training. The biomechanics work in my programme improved my body alignment a lot.

I've been with Daniel for around two years. He's thoroughly knowledgeable, super friendly, and able to explain exercises in a way that's easy to understand. He's improved my technique greatly so I can focus on specific muscle groups, and he's helped me get through various injuries with workout plans tailored around them. Would highly recommend.

Meet your coach

Hola, I'm Daniel.

Growing up, laziness and junk food was my normal, and having the example of two obese parents didn't help. I was tired of being the fat kid of my friends and decided to change my life.

When I decided to lose weight at 13 years old, I tried everything I saw online: wore sweaters to sweat more, took fat burners, did tons of cardio. I still remember when I slipped with my own sweat doing two Insanity classes in a row at home because I was too embarrassed to exercise in public.

After years of researching nutrition and training, trying dozens of diets and workout routines on myself, I learned what actually works and what's just noise.

Now I coach out of The Strength Collective in Altrincham with one goal: to simplify fitness for beginners so they don't have to waste years figuring it out alone. The gym can feel intimidating, especially when you're carrying extra weight and not sure if you're doing anything right. That's exactly where I come in.

Fitness shouldn't be an uphill battle. It should add to your life, and that doesn't mean sacrificing food you enjoy, your social life, or never drinking again. It means making better choices, consistently, in a way that actually fits how you live.

FAQ

I'm using GLP-1s (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Reta, etc). Can you still help?

Absolutely! My mum has been using Mounjaro for 6 months. She has PCOS/PMOS with insulin resistance and obesity, and the benefits have been outstanding. I fully support anyone who chooses to use them to help with their health.

Do I need a gym membership?

For in-person coaching, you won't need a membership for our sessions at The Strength Collective. If you want to train at The Strength Collective outside of our sessions, you will need a membership. For online coaching, you can train from the comfort of your home or in another gym. As long as you have access to some training equipment, we will make it work.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is shared during the intro call because I need to understand which programme is going to work best for you and what you are actually looking for.

How is this different from a £20/month fitness app?

An app gives you a template. It does not take into account your lifestyle, work, nutrition history, eating behaviours, current strength, or what is happening in your life right now. As your coach, I adapt the plan to your needs. Over time, the coaching becomes more valuable because I learn more about you and your body, which is something an app cannot replicate.

I've never worked out before. Is this for me?

Yes. The majority of my clients have no prior experience in the gym. The first 12 weeks are dedicated to nailing down the fundamentals of exercise and nutrition so you feel confident, capable, and clear on what you are doing.

I'm out of shape. Will I be embarrassed?

No. Sessions are in the gym, but the majority of people there are focused on their own workout. I promise I will make you feel as comfortable as possible during your sessions, and we will always start from where you are.

I travel a lot for work. Can the plan flex around that?

That is exactly what the plan is built for. My aim is to find the minimum amount of strength training you need to get the maximum amount of results, then fit that around your work, travel, and real life.

What if I have a medical condition?

You will complete a readiness questionnaire on day one. For anything that needs clinical sign-off, we will ask for GP clearance before training.

How fast will I see results?

Some clients feel a difference in as little as 4 weeks because they start building confidence in their own body. Realistically, strength and body composition changes usually show up around 8 to 12 weeks. If you want lasting fat loss and habits, I recommend committing for at least 6 months.

What's your cancellation and refund policy?

You can cancel anytime as long as you give me one month's notice. I also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you have done everything I asked you to do and you still have not seen results in that first month.

How do we communicate, and how fast do you reply?

Communication usually happens through WhatsApp. Replies happen within 24 hours. My online clients get priority for messaging and are usually answered in under 2 hours.

What happens on the intro call?

We will talk through your goals, training history, and whether we are a good fit. Based on that, I will propose a few ways we can work together.
