Did you know that I do online personal training?

I’ve been busy working on my online coaching platform promoting healthy bodies through strength and conditioning alongside nutritional help to get people to their sporting goals and hopefully injury free/ minimised.

I want to help more people move better and get stronger whilst upping performance and also realise they can eat well, see results and not have to constantly make it up as they go along.

So if you or anyone you know is struggling to reach their goals I would MASSIVELY appreciate it if you could just mention it to them and perhaps make a quick intro?

Hey I’m Danielle,

My journey into strength and conditioning (S&C) started in my late 20s when I ruptured my ACL doing Brazilian Jujitsu💙. Prior to that, I could safely say that as much as I loved sports, I hated the gym. I found it intimidating. Being a Sports Therapist, I understand the body and worked with plenty of athletes through their injuries. But now was my turn. I HAD to do S&C! I knew I was going to return back to competing and had to work!

I had time on my hands as I couldn’t compete. So I did a Level 4 S&C course and as part of that I had to also learn some Olympic lifting. I was HORRENDOUS 😂.

I had to improve, otherwise I was not passing this course. I had weekly 1-1s and also went to lifting classes locally. And because it was more of a sport than ‘just gym work,’ I really got into it whilst my knee recovered. I then went and completed my level 2 BWL accreditation and started teaching Oly Lifting, which I still teach now! I also absolutely smashed that level 4 S&C course 😉. And returned back to fighting in pro Am Thai boxing, recently fighting at the o2 in London.

Through continuous learning I started ‘S&C with runners,’ helping them get through their marathons in the spring & started 1-1s. I have a MSc in Biomechanics so I understand how to make people move with minimal injury risk/ identify form with a sharp eye. On top of my own sport, I understand competition and the desire to win/ be the best. I have also introduced Gait Analysis at my unit fully identify performance characteristics in my runners.

Fast forward 7 years, I now am lucky enough to regularly work with 2 prestigious endurance clubs locally, (Running and Triathletes) and have built up a good reputation. I now have a wonderful regular base of marathon runners, Ironman, triathletes and endurance cyclists, as well as casual athletes just wanting to improve. And now shall be extending that further to online training to help those unable to come to the unit. I understand multi sports, and how difficult it is to fit everything in! But homework ALWAYS gets results and I’m committed to getting people strong and performing

As you can see, I have been through weight loss periods!

The first picture was following an operation I had on my knee and because I wasn’t able to do it as much exercise as I wanted so I put on some weight and ate equally what I wanted (I was about 72kg). And the second picture was end of last summer after training and I was more than happy in my own skin again at 60kg.

I promise to endure that strength and conditioning session I was definitely eating properly and not skipping meals (even had chocolate daily!). I was going to put up the shred down to 56kg pic but I felt that that was a little dishonest and not a true portrayal of normal bodies (maybe another day) as that was a weigh in pic for a fight. (I do Muay Thai).

If you’re fed up that the New Year New Me resolutions didn’t quite cut the mustard and have fallen through.

Maybe you just need some guidance drop me a message.

I’m not into ‘12 week shreds’ as they often aren’t realistic. However, I’m really into sustainable eating, still seeing your friends and family but also getting you where you want to go in a sustainable manner. This makes it more enjoyable whilst also learning about yourself and your body, a bit nutrition and exercise and the importance of moving.

It’s all about consistency and accountability, and that is where I come in. I will work with YOU and your lifestyle to find a balance that works, that’s realistic and that’s achievable.

I’m a great believer that nothing is impossible but sometimes things are really bloody hard! 😂 With the right people surrounding you sharing your goals and ambitions you are also more likely to succeed.

Fact.

As some of you know I’m to a uni to do a module in Sport Physiology to try and understand testing a little better.

I won’t lie it was pretty scary and I feel quite old (no one else had a notebook 😂). I’m quite overwhelmed by studying and reading journals again. And now there is AI now also to help me, which didn’t exist before.

I didn’t make a complete tit out of myself which is a bonus. And everyone on the course seems sound.

Longevity and Wellness..

The sexiest topic in sports science at the moment. I’m totally here for it also. NAD+ really caught my attention at a conference I went to.

I’m curious to where we go with it?

Is the fountain of youth an actual possibility?

Wait and see I guess.

But until then, if you want to improve your longevity, body and health and stay mobile into your later years drop me a message as always.

I have the pleasure of being entrusted to help out with @joshblockk’s rehabilitation following shoulder surgery. I’ve known Josh for years, and shoulder dislocations were such a common occurrence for him, eventually he had to bite the bullet and get surgery.

Surgery had gone really well, but he was left a little bit alone when it came to rehabbing it after (which is a massive shame!) So he rang me up and was like ‘Dan please help’.

I LOVE a good stint of rehab, as I enjoy watching the progression happen over time. But, as much as 1 hour a week in the unit is important, the homework is so much more!

Lucky for me, Josh is a fantastic human and just gets on with it!

We have also dangled the carrot of returning to boxing once it’s healed up, which is such a great goal to stay motivated.

Once his mobility and also confidence was up following surgery we decided to do a testing day to see how strong he was left vs right. I also have percentile data to see, where he sits with other males of his age in comparison. There’s a good 30% discrepancy between surgical and non which I expect and is a great starting point. Hopefully we can get them as close to each other as possible.

If you have an injury and need rehab and guidance, feel free to drop us a message. With our private gym space and technology we don’t guess we test. Getting you back to normality as quick as possible.

The eternal student?

Looking forward to doing some cpd off the masters course from next week, in environmental physiology. To help strengthen my knowledge in physiology further 🙂.

It’s important for me to keep learning and never stand still. The sports performance world moves quickly. I’m currently riding that wave and really enjoying it. Can’t wait to bring back some more nuggets of information back to work.

Open day photos of doing the VO2 max demo with Josh. I almost look like I know what I’m doing! 😅🤫

It was really cool to show people how the test was done from start to finish. To see that no, we don’t let people fall off a treadmill and that the speed is very personal and tailored to the person running.

I repeat. No one is falling off a treadmill.

The results will show Vo2 max scores, heart rate, training zones, how quickly the participant is breathing and how much air is coming in.

I’ll also do a gait analysis video whilst they are running to see if there’s any technical improvements that can be done.

All in all takes 10min for a warm up and between 8-15min for the test.

The mask seems a little scary, it’s honestly not. Personally I found I could breathe totally normal in it and had zero restrictions, it did get a little hot in there.

If you are a slow runner we start super slow or even walk, if you’re quick we adapt accordingly. As long as you’re fit and healthy and can run for about 20min you’re good to go.

Bosh 👊🏼

It’s pretty fun, and I love looking at the data with the athlete after to see what they do.

If you fancy having a go and want to improve your running, drop me a message or book a vo2 max test on the website www.bodyhealthgatwick.co.uk.

You’ll need to be fasted 3 hours prior (water before is fine) and 24hours clear of heavy exercise so you can get the best results.

We are super lucky to have @fitnessgenes attend our open day on Saturday.

Fitness Genes look at DNA and genetic markers for certain traits we are all born with. I found the testing super easy (just some spit in a capsule) and the results are insanely easy to understand and accurate.

They are around all day to have a chat and doing a massive discount for their kits (over 40% off).

Anyone who attends any session on the day can access this.

Also if you already have an Ancestry, 23andMe or MyHeritage account there is a way for it to be even cheaper.

Look forward to seeing you all on September 26th!

Booking links are in the bio! Or website www.bodyhealthgtawick.co.uk

What an insane 4 days I had up in Manchester with @inscyd_

Learnt a lot on physiology and lactate testing. Something I will hopefully offer in the not too distant future. Also just had a really sound bunch of people I was studying with.

Brain is absolutely cooked and need to process. But keep your eyes peeled!
