Dan and I have been training together since 05 May 2020, and we've hit a number of goals together along the way. After a lifetime of hating running and many false starts at attempting some distance (more than 5 miles), Dan helped me knock out a half marathon 19 days after we started training together with a regimen of steady distance increases, splitting my training runs, and a focus on refueling and recovering appropriately. Determination helped on my part, but I leaned heavily on Dan's training and recovery expertise. Before training together, my 1 rep max on bench press was 114 lbs and I had long struggled to go heavy. By the end of 2020, I was knocking out 3 sets of 6 reps @ 185 lbs -- well beyond my original goal of hitting a 1 rep max of 162 lbs. As my goals have changed over time, Dan has adapted our training regime. More recently i've taken up capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art, and Dan has adapted our training around the demanding core, shoulder, leg, flexibility, balance, and stamina requirements of capoeira. Dan is punctual and professional, and I love the time we spend together training. He's a great person to bounce ideas off of, and I get to come away from each of our training sessions having been challenged physically and also often intellectually. One of my less concrete goals of working with Dan was to feel better about myself and to feel more at-home in my body. I've never been a particularly capable athlete, and working at a desk throughout my 20s has done me no favors in the category of physical fitness. With Dan's encouragement and guidance, i've been able to crush steadily more challenging workouts. I come away from our lifts feeling more successful, more powerful, and ready to take on the rest of my goals each week. I would recommend Dan to anyone and everyone looking for a personal trainer.

The best personal trainer I know. I trained with Dan for 2 years, and he's always on point, with great charisma and personality. Dan knows how to train people with his whole heart, and make workout an enjoyable experience

Dan has been so helpful in the process of me gaining strength and mobility. He is kind yet determined; knowing when to encourage, when to rest, and when to push me harder. I’ve come a long way in the past 3.5 months with Dan’s guidance and I’m looking forward to where I’ll be in a year!

Dan is doing a great job getting my son ready for Bootcamp. My son respects him and is very motivated by the help he receives from Dan.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have set pricing, but I never want cost to be a factor in someone reaching their goals. I can develop a program to meet anyone's needs, and stay within their budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Everyone gets a free initial session, with goal setting and a workout. They will at least walk away from that first meeting with some ideas on how to proceed, even if they decide not to train with me. It's a great way to get to know each other and see if it's a good fit.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have almost 20 years of experience in the field. I hold advanced certifications in many specialized areas of training. I am constantly seeking the newest information and gaining new knowledge and skills to improve the quality of my services.
