What my Clients say:

"It is no overstatement to say that starting personal training sessions with Dan has had a hugely profound impact on my physical and psychological wellbeing. Having almost no experience of organised exercise or the gym environment, I was incredibly anxious about attending a gym. However, Dan's professionalism, energy, courtesy, humour and caring nature in all our meetings, quickly put me at ease. Dan demonstrates his extensive knowledge of all aspects of training through well organised and effective programmes of exercise that are continually adapted to provide an holistic approach to reaching your goals. Every component of his sessions are consistently fun, diverse, challenging and engaging with their rationale's explained to a high standard. Through Dan's support and guidance with exercise and nutrition, I have lost 15kg in 11 weeks and have a new sense of confidence and motivation to live a healthier lifestyle. I can unreservedly recommend Dan to others." - Gym member

Max Fillingham

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Helping people reach their goal is my number one priority. With personal training programs and working closely with my clients, I make sure I get the most out of them every training session.  With my wide range of knowledge, I can assure you that you will not only achieve your goal but enjoy the journey along the way.

Alongside my PT qualifications, I am also a qualified swimming instructor. Swimming is a great form of exercise which I think is greatly underused.

The benefits of exercise and a healthy lifestyle go much further than just looking good. Whatever help you need I can offer the motivation, support and guidance needed so you can achieve your goal.

What my Clients say:

“Max is focused on helping me achieve my goals. I find that he makes every session challenging but somehow fun too. He's a good motivator with fountains of knowledge of routines and techniques.  I will not hesitate to recommend max to people out there looking for an experienced motivational personal trainer that succeeds with client’s goals.  Highly recommend"

I’m a level 3 personal trainer here at Nuffield Health Wakefield, my aim is to help as many people as I can by using my knowledge and experience of the gym to help new and old members of the gym achieve their fitness goals whether that be to lose weight, feel confident, gain muscle, improve strength or flexibility.

I specialise in beginners, strength training, hypertrophy training (building muscle), general injuries or sports-specific injuries.

For anyone who lacks confidence in the gym, I couldn’t recommend Dan enough.”

Greg Sheard

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

"With over 10 years’ experience of training myself and others I am now one of the top Personal Trainers within the Nuffield organization. My aim as a Personal Trainer is to make your fitness training programme varied and effective, and above all for you to enjoy yourself and achieve the results you want.

I love to focus my client’s training not only in a gym environment but also offering outdoor workouts including running and boot camp style training. Training sessions could also include: weight training, cardio, boxing and grit style studio sessions. Intensity will depend on your current fitness levels but from this you will become healthier, fitter and stronger. I also run our recovery plus program which helps clients recover from any injury/surgery they may have had, this could be useful to yourself if you have a specific area that is weak and needs to be focused on within your training program."

What my Clients say:

"Greg is a great personal trainer, he has the knack of pushing me forward, by encouragement & keeping me motivated. He really listens & I'm much fitter & stronger than I have ever been. He encouraged me to start running & has run the Wakefield 10k with me for last 2 years; 10 minutes quicker on second attempt!  He's really flexible & will fit in sessions when it suites me nothing is too much trouble. I really enjoy sessions even when I don't want to go he keeps me going!" - Liz Cook

"I have been training with Greg for about 2 years and I can say that he has kept the training both varied and challenging which has kept me motivated, and ultimately, reach my fitness goals. As a PT trainer Greg is very accommodating in working with you and listening to what you want to get out of the training and really flexible with training times." - Nigel Cox

"After having surgery on my knee and putting on a lot of weight, my confidence was at an all time low. Nicki helped me lose the weight I had gained and strengthened up not just my knee but my whole body. Nicki has expert knowledge in understanding the human body and how to get the best out of me, all the while being motivating, hugely supportive and endlessly encouraging. This gave me the confidence I needed to go on holiday for the first time in over three years! Can’t recommend highly enough.” 

Jennifer Wilson

Senior Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

I first developed a passion for health and wellbeing through my own personal success of losing over 4 stone, which triggered me to pursue a career in health and fitness to help others do the same. I now have over 16 years’ experience working for both the NHS and private health sector.

As Senior Personal Trainer, I am trained to a high level in helping people with mobility issues and use advanced programming techniques. This means I can help anyone achieve any goal and use movement screening with form correction to help you move not just right, but well. I will create both a safe and effective training programme with a detailed nutrition plan to complement, which will suit your lifestyle and simplify the stress of achieving the results you desire. I also specialise in plant-based sports nutrition.

An area of interest for me is helping women through all stages of life in feeling amazing! So, I have specialised in being able to help women during times of hormonal change, e.g. menopause, ante/post-natal nutrition and fitness.

I love helping people reach their potential and being a part of getting to where they want to be. We can work together to create a plan that’s not only achievable, fun, and motivating but one that’s designed to create the very best version of you! So, if you are wanting to know how to optimise your workout time and diet, to have someone push you out of your comfort zone, to work hard and achieve amazing results…let's get going!

What my Clients say:

'I found Jen at a time when I was recovering from a serious illness. I needed to lose weight and get my fitness back. Jen was always very supportive and helpful. If I fell by the wayside, she would pick me up, and put me back on track. I can now fit in to clothing I couldn't 9 months ago and feel stronger and fitter than I have done in years! I highly recommend Jen and feel very lucky to have found her” - Debbie Dallison

“Working with Jen is simply great. She is a fabulous mix of gentle and tough combined. She always shows high empathy and great understanding along my journey. Jen is uncompromising in her coaching, the fact that I find it tough sometimes does not deviate from her focus and determination that I will succeed.  She is an expert in understanding the human body and how it works and sometimes why it doesn’t.  I always feel safe during our sessions, and I am in now the best shape of my life! The results speak for themselves'
