So how did I meet Daniel ?? I have long time suffered with depression/anxiety and by end of 2014 I was heavier than ever and taking a crap load of meds which I have never been happy about. Anyhow, one day whilst wondering past Body Beat gym I made a decision that no matter what I was going in to at least enquire about a Personal trainer.

I was met by Vanessa and outta no where stepped in Daniel, friendly face and kind said straight out he could help me achieve my goals. My goals were to get healthy again and feel better about myself, throw out the scales and go by feel and allow good nutrition to carry me through.

Daniel never once judged me or made me feel uncomfortable about myself but instead did measurements and assured me that through the combination of strength training / nutrition / and running I could get back to my former glory and go back to my absolute joy of running but not just run but get in top physical shape using strength training, boot camp and some patience.

So I began training with Daniel the next day, one word ‘shattered’ and I was weak especially upper body.

Dan was very patient and slowly each week I began to see progress not only in my appearance but in my confidence. Dan slowly and gradually increased weight for me and each time I would reach a PB he would cheer and we’d high 5 with excitement.

My current PB’s: Sitting leg press – 175kg Dead lift – 70kg Amazing for me !!!!!

So almost 8 months on I have made some amazing personal achievements that couldn’t have been achieved without Daniels help and guidance. He has set a program that completely complimented my running.

This year alone I have done the following races: Bay to Bay – 21.1k Gold Coast Marathon – 42.2k M7 Marathon – 42.2k Raffertys Trail – 35k Centennial Park – 50k Salvos big50 – 25k Woodford to Glenbrook – 25k Oxfam TW – 100k Sydney Marathon – 42.2k Melbourne Marathon – 42.2k Batemans Bay Marathon – 42.2k Central Coast Half Marathon – 21.1k Relay for Life – Tba So what can be achieved ??

Anything can be achieved if you believe 🙂 Daniel has given me more than a strong and capable body he has shown me that through perseverance and hard work you can achieve anything. Thanks Daniel !! Your the best
