Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I am a personal trainer because I want to help people reach their fitness goals whatever they may be. I strive for my clients to not look at the gym as a chore, but as a fun activity they look forward to throughout the their week.

I am an outgoing and easily approachable trainer who will help you to set and reach any fitness/lifestyle goals you may have. I will always be there to support, guide and motivate you along the way.

My main passion is helping others to be confident using all machines and equipment, in particular both resistance and free weights. Using my knowledge, I will set/tailor your session plans to suit your specific requirements and abilities, so don't hesitate to approach me.

Daniel Kraft

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Do you have a desk based career? From experience, office work can be very sedentary leading to poor food choices, posture issues, joint issues and weight gain. After personally battling these issues I have dedicated myself towards helping others improve their posture, ‘range of motion’, and reclaim their strength and athleticism.

I believe you can’t achieve a goal without getting out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself! So my sessions won’t be easy but I can provide the support and accountability you need to help build your confidence, develop functional fitness and achieve your physical goal(s).

Ask me about my tailored programmes including nutritional advice, with progress check in’s and test sessions to assess how close you are to reaching and surpassing your goal(s).

I specialise in:

  • Posture issue rehabilitation and weight loss
  • Pull-up success and Calisthenics
  • Kickboxing, pad-work and Judo
  • Athletic strength and performance
  • My qualifications

    • Level 3 Personal Trainer
    • MMA Strength & Conditioning Specialist

    What my Clients say:

    “Dan has been extremely supportive and knowledgeable throughout not just my rehabilitation but also getting me back to my former fitness capabilities! I used to run outdoors and go to the gym, but gradually dedicated more time than I should have to the office rather than looking after my health. My wakeup call was developing knee and then severe lower back issues requiring a physiotherapist. After the physio Dan was extremely adept at carefully bringing me back to strength, and now I can run as fast as I did in school and lift more than I ever have!”

    Francisca McNeill

    Wellbeing Personal Trainer

    How can I help you improve your health?

    Are you struggling to come back after surgery or an injury? Are you suffering from joint pain? Are you looking to learn a great new skill, like a handstand? Or maybe you simply want to look and feel better?

    As a PT and Rehabilitation Specialist with a background in martial arts and gymnastics, I am able to help you increase your flexibility, balance and strength. I can also show you handy techniques to manage pain and come back from injuries. Let me help you reach your potential, so you can keep getting stronger and better every day.

    With the right approach, what seems impossible now can become a matter of course.

    Come train with me if you want every personal training session to be challenging, fun and goal-oriented.

    My qualifications

    • Level 3 Personal Training

    What my Clients say:

    “Francisca is really good. Training with her feels deceptively easy as it is lot of fun! I find her training style really effective. She is friendly yet authoritative and has even motivated me to reduce my alcohol intake. I like the way I look fitter and feel stronger now going through day to day life. She has taught me a few strategies to help overcome my mental barriers. Plus, she taught me how to do a cartwheel!”

    Kerry Newman

    Wellbeing Personal Trainer

    How can I help you improve your health?

    I am a semi-professional football player currently playing left back for Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) in the third tier of women’s football, the FA Women’s National League- Southern Premier Division. I have played football since I was 8 years old with teams including Watford FC and ABAC college in Georgia, USA on a soccer scholarship.

    Football and exercise became my passion and benefitted my health and wellbeing in multiple ways and I want to bring that motivation, knowledge and confidence to your training.

    No matter your ability, level, exercise, or sporting interest from gym newbies to callisthenics and footballing athletes; if you are committed to the process, I am committed to your journey. When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. Let's enjoy training together.

    Alex Surridge

    Every session will be designed around your individual needs and goals. I will strive to apply all the knowledge that I have gained from my sports science degree where possible, as well as other related qualifications such as kettlebells, indoor cycling, movement screening and hopefully many more.

    I will use my experience in endurance sports, to help you in future races or events, with detailed plans in training, nutrition and injury prevention.

    On the other end of the scale, I have 6 years of weight training knowledge to help you increase muscle mass, burn fat, and becoming more mobile, with a specific diet and training programme around your lifestyle.

    • Indoor Cycling

    What my Clients say:

    "I started PT sessions once a week in January with Alex in preparation for the London Marathon, and I honestly feel without these sessions, I wouldn’t have got over the finish line! During my sessions, Alex would push me to reach my goals, supporting me with increasing my overall fitness and building up my strength and legs for the marathon. Not only that, Alex provided me with brilliant nutrition plans, and a food plan for the week prior to the marathon which was so helpful. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a PT, and can’t wait to set new goals and start training with him again!"
