Testimonials

To the best coach, believing in me from the very beginning before I even believed in myself, giving me multiple pep talks over my continuous self doubts, I wouldn't be half the person, athlete I am if it wasn't for you and I appreciate you so much.

You have prepped, peaked and perfected this prep creating a figure I never ever thought I'd be able to achieve in the short time within the sport and you're the reason I took the toned figure British Champion title at the PCA British Finals.

I am so incredibly lucky to have you right there not just as a coach, but as someone who genuinely wants the best for me in all aspects of life. I will be forever grateful you have gone above and beyond to ensure I am 100% at each and every show for this I don't know how I'll ever repay you.

Safe to say I'm excited for the future ahead...

When looking for a PT, experience and knowledge are key and Danny’s body and accolades speak for themselves. I have been trained by him for a while and it has completely changed my perspective on fitness. Not only I have seen results that I never had seen before but I am myself more conscious of what it takes in the bodybuilding world, sessions are always great and I can feel and see the difference it makes to train with someone who has been there himself. Direct, honest and straight to the point, Danny is great in sharing his knowledge and experience, knows how to motivate you and push you beyond what you think is achievable.

I’d been training at NR gym a little while when I told Danny G my goal to compete in a fitness competition one day. I had no idea where to start and didn’t really know anything about bodybuilding. Danny had his own background in competing and coached me throughout the whole process- from a building season right through to my competition. He sorted a diet plan throughout and taught me how to train properly! I honestly can’t recommend him enough, not only did I learn loads but he’s also really approachable and genuinely wants to help you achieve your goals! Oh and I won the overall!! Thanks Danny 😊

- Kerry Procter

I have been having weekly pts with Danny for 2 years! He’s fab. Works on what you need and listens to what you want to achieve. Helpful all round with plans, diet and generally anything. Dan has been good for my mental health and understands when I’m not feeling it but still pushes me to enjoy it! X

- Donna Westfall

I’ve been fortunate to have the advice and guidance of Danny for the past 12 months and I am now stronger than I have ever been. My body fat has reduced from 28% down to 15% and all this despite entering a new era of being middle aged and the COVID restrictions hampering progress. Danny doesn’t just give me exercises to do, but tells me why I am doing them as well as the order that they should done in to maximise gains. Similarly with my diet, I don’t just get told what to eat, but when I should consume carbs, proteins and fats to maximise my workouts. I cannot recommend Danny enough and I look forward to seeing what the next 12 months brings without any interruptions will bring. I can’t recommend Danny enough

My ‘proper’ fitness journey started back in 2020 at the time I was working hard towards my goals but wasn’t really sure how to move it forward. I decided to invest in a PT and researched who was good locally. Ive now been working with Danny since September, it’s been the best investment I’ve made into my fitness. He lives and breaths body building, I’ve learnt a wealth of information on form, training, how to train efficiently and nutrition. The best part about it, he’s cool to hang out with too 👌 I absolutely love working with him!

- Laura Hayton

Danny’s approach to my goals has been consistent and sustainable weight loss. No fad diets or drastic cuts. If you do things right you get the results. Having Danny train me I am now currently 9.5 Stone down from my starting weight, and am continuing to lose weight at a steady healthy pace. Last year when was diagnosed with Kidney failure, Danny adapted my plan to allow me to continue training along side my dialysis. His approach is flexible and always centred on pushing beyond your goals

- Mark Brown

I have known Danny for many years and he has supported me from day one when I first started training. I was a total novice when I started going to the gym and Danny helped me with the basics of gym life. When I started becoming more confident and losing weight Danny introduced weight training to me and I have never looked back. I followed him to NR Gym where he has taught me so much knowledge about training and keeping myself healthy and happy with my body. I am someone who is keen to keep weight off and going to the gym. Danny is my PT and I feel very comfortable around him, he's always there to support me when I am struggling and has helped me so much in my weight lose journey that started many years ago. Having that support from Danny has helped me keep the weight off and I’ve never looked back. He is very knowledgeable, encouraging, compassionate and supportive! He’s not only my PT but a friend too!

- Emily Crossley

Danny is a fully dedicated trainer who takes time to understand my goals and provides me with tailored advice to allow me to be the best version of me. He knows I like to enjoy a weekend treat and therefore he teaches me how to train smart, not hard. Danny has also helped me gain confidence in training by myself in a busy gym. Thanks Danny - you are the best!

- Jo Crease

I started NRGYM 3 years ago and shortly after that I approached Danny and asked him to be my Personal Trainer due to his no nonsense attitude and his brutal honesty which I knew got results! Straight away, I knew that he knew what he was talking about and wasn’t just providing ‘lip service’ which I know PT’s have done in the past.

 He helped me understand different techniques to develop my strength and he understood what I preferred to train and used that to develop my endurance and strength. He also gave me the confidence to peruse with weight training and it was even discussed that I would start to train for weight lifting competitions (however, COVID did put a pause on that.)

Danny is a great PT, he makes each session different, engaging and you can have a laugh! His PT sessions don’t  stop after the one hour session either, as on many occasions I have asked Danny to support me with either bench press or to go through a new routine and he has always been happy to support and to develop my understanding further.

- Katia Petty

I trained in the gym regularly for years but didn’t seem to be progressing much towards my goals, so I decided to get some help. As soon as I started training with Danny both my training and nutrition has completely turned around for the better. He created gym plans that really focussed on my physical goals as well as providing advice on nutrition to fuel my body and support my training plan. Gone were the days of following online gimmicks, eating next to nothing and walking around with no energy. Danny took the time to ensure I was pushing myself during training but kept it fun at the same time and my plan was tweaked regularly to reflect the progress I made. I now feel stronger both physically and mentally with a much healthier relationship with food thanks to Danny and I can’t recommend him as a PT highly enough!

- Nicola Complin

I have trained with Danny for about 4 years now and at this point there is no person I would trust in giving me a training programme or PT’ing me in general. The goals we have reached have been amazing, that’s not only on my weight loss but strength goals! There has been a number of personal bests that just keep getting better and it’s all down to Danny. Training with him is a highlight of my week!

- Sasha Morrison

Danny is incredibly knowledgeable and his attention to detail, passion and commitment to his clients is truly motivating. My main focus when I began training was to strengthen the muscles in my back and to improve my general fitness and nutrition. Since training with Danny I no longer suffer with muscular spasms and constant back ache. With his extensive knowledge on nutrition my eating habits have improved and I am able to look at food in a completely new light.

- Ashlea Smith

I started training with Danny at the end of 2019. With the aim of wanting to regain the muscle and strength I had once upon a time before starting my own busy business. Although I was an experienced lifter I chose Danny to PT me as he understands my goals, he is extremely knowledgeable and has a professional way of pushing me to get the best results. Each session we make progress without fail, weather that be in reps, upping weight or both. Not forgetting the bants! During the pandemic, when allowed, we trained in my garden, Danny was very adaptable with minimal kit and I managed to keep my strength through these sessions for when I returned to the gym. I love Danny’s style of training and highly recommend him to anyone considering choosing him on their fitness journey

- Georgina Newnham

I’ve had Danny as a coach for just over a year in which I have competed and gained an invite to a ukbff British championship. Danny goes above and beyond when it comes to coaching. You can tell he lives for it with his passion for getting the best out of you and building a relationship of trust and desire to work for each other. He’s a coach and a whole lot more.

- Jamie McGee

Danny’s PT sessions are killers!!! However; if you want a good workout with great results you need to get booking. Working shifts means I have had to try fit in PT sessions where possible. I found Danny accommodating and understanding. I found Danny’s PT session were something I feared at first but once I had a sweat on and the inches kept coming off; it was win win!!! Danny has vast knowledge and experience, something which is invaluable and on the whole benefitted my training. His relaxed easy going persona aided me to enjoy the PT sessions and I have continued to come back. So A Big Thank You Danny!

- Nila Kausa

I started training with Danny around 1 year ago. I couldn’t recommend him enough. I’m stronger, fitter, both mentally and physically. Danny takes pride in his work, and it shows every week. I’ve never had one session that is the same, always trying his best to keep it fresh and enjoyable. One of the highlights in my week is my session with him, it’s become routine. He started off as my trainer but has become a good friend and mentor. His hair is shit and he once grew a peado moustache but overall he’s a top bloke and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

- Arron Flanigan

I've trained with a number of PT's over the last few years, but Danny is by far the best. Danny shows consistent enthusiasm and is driven to constantly learn about the human body and exercises, which really shows in the programs he puts together. Danny takes time to understand the goals you're working towards, and pulls a plan together to help you achieve it. Since training with Danny over the last few months, not only has my body changed, but I've achieved things I never thought I'd be able to do in the gym! After training with Danny, you come away with a better understanding of your body, and he constantly pushes and motivates you to do better, stay consistent and smash that last rep to find a new PB! - as he says, we don't work out, we train!
