Introduction: Before opening Player Development Lab I worked as a strength & conditioning coach at two physical therapy clinics. My clientele at both of these clinics was a mix of high level athletes and people coming off physical therapy tables looking to get and stay healthy. If you have had injuries in the past or are looking to avoid injury I have both the knowledge and experience to help you get and stay healthy.

Dan is an amazing trainer. He is personable, kind and genuineand he is also incredibly knowledgeable about health and fitness. Given my hectic schedule, it is near impossible for me to schedule a regular doctors appointment much less a personal training session. However, Dan didn't give up on me. Each day, Dan would text me an extensive, rigorous (yet attainable) workout, and would later send me a follow-up text, asking how I felt, what worked, what didn't work, what I may have had trouble with and so forth. His dedication to his client truly fascinates me- he cares for his clients and invests in them. Dan wants to see his clients succeed, and pushes them to the brink. Although I think of myself as fit, his workouts took me to a whole other level, forcing me to truly get out of my comfort zone and do workouts I may have avoided in the past. Also, Dan ensured that no workout was the sameeveryday was different, which kept me from getting bored and my muscles from getting comfortable. I have learned a great deal from Dan on living a healthy and fit lifestyle and I know that will only continue.

I had an amazing experience with Dan. His hand on approach and attention to detail is invaluable. He made a nutrition and work out plan for me that was specifically tailored to my needs and fit in with my life and schedule. He would periodically check in to make sure things were going as planned and to manipulate the plan to any changes in my life. He went far and above what i would normal have expected from someone in his position. And with that the quality of his work and his professionalism was always top of the line. The only thing i think he could have done better was push a little harder at times, but it didn't affect my output or the quality of my experience at all.

I want to first off state that I am a former Division 1 college hockey player who has tried out just about every new workout on the market today, I have done T25 , Insanity, crossfit to name a few. As a personal goal, I wanted to take my fitness to the next level and had been searching for a trainer , fitness coach that would be able to help me with my goals, when I met Dan at a fitness conference, and started to understand his methodology and beliefs, I knew that he was going to be the one to get me to my personal goals. The first phase that Dan and I worked on together was a nutrition plan that was 21 days long, this was very challenging and the nutrition plan challenged me not only physically but also mentally. Throughout this first phase, I was very dedicated to clean eating and also focusing on circuit training and cardio, I just finished phase one and I am HAPPY to say that I lost bad weight that I have been trying to shed, my final number was 17 - I lost 17 pounds while following Dans nutrition plan. I am starting phase two this week and am very excited to dedicated myself to working with Dan over the next 21 days.

I have been working out with Dan for the past 9 months. Before meeting Dan I went to the gym 4 days a week (religiously), but knew that I was not using my time effectively. My original goal was to workout with Dan for a couple of months to "learn" what I should be doing and establish a good workout routine. Dan spent time with me evaluating my strengths, weaknesses and pains. I had been suffering from a slightly herniated disk (lower back pain) and a very weak right shoulder (I could barely lift anything on my right side). After the first 5-6 weeks working out with Dan, he proposed an 8 week challenge. It consisted of 5 consecutive days with a modified diet. I was leaving for vacation and was up for the challenge. I started seeing significant changes to my body even before the 8 week challenge. I noticed that I no longer had back pain, my upper body was getting stronger and I was getting into clothes that hadn't fit for some time! At the end of the 8 weeks, I was the leanest I had ever been (and I cheated on the diet). Dan takes a holistic approach. Focusing on getting to the root of any pain and strengthening and balancing your entire body. My clothes fit differently, my energy is higher and my stress level has significant,y improved. In short, I became addicted. After the 8 week challenge I went back to working out with Dan, 3 days a week, but that wasn't enough. I decided that there was nothing more important to me than the health and strength of my body, and increased my work outs to 4 days a week. The results I achieved working out with Dan have made me very happy, to say the least! In addition to my friends and co-workers noticing the improvement in my figure, the biggest compliment I received was from my brother. I was wearing a dress that was very form fitting and he told me that I looked lean and strong (my brother has never commented on how I look). He himself is a workout fiend! I can't say enough about how great Dan is. I rave about him to all my friends ( a couple who also joined his fan club)! I am extremely disappointed that he is moving as he has become a very important part of my life and well-being. I highly recommend him, but joke that I would give him a terrible reference so that he has to me back to Boston!

Approachable & Attentive Prior to working with Dan I had never considered engaging a personal trainer. Dan immediately dispelled any preconceived notions I had about personal trainers, adapting his plan and style to match my abilities and mood at any given moment. I particularly appreciate his attentiveness as he'll work diligently to ensure proper form, and patiently explain how and why to achieve it. His demeanor is an effective balance of drive and lightheartedness which I find constructively motivating. I can't recommend Dan highly enough and very much look forward to seeing him help others grow.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I take all of my new clients through an initial movement screen. This gives me the opportunity to see how the individual moves as well as get some early mechanical teaching in. We also discuss goals, previous injury history, and answer any questions the client may have. From there it starts with laying a foundation for the movements and progressing.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After recovering from an injury during my professional baseball career I found a love for creating change in myself. My ability to do what I loved was taken away from me for a little while and I wanted to get back. I began researching different fitness programs, started reading more about the body and how it worked, and truly found everything interesting. After my baseball career ended I immersed myself in the industry. Earning 3 certifications within the first 8 months. I am dedicated to constantly continuing my education in the field, and providing a superior service to my clients.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with a wide variety of clients. From professional athletes to young professionals all the way to men and women in their 70s. I strongly believe that I can make each client move, look, feel, and preform better no matter what their goals are.
