My Journey

Hello! I’m Dan and I am Head of Physical Training at Form & Function, the personal training aspect of Garden Retreat Health. Here is a little part of my journey...

I have forever had a relationship with sports and growing up, becoming a rugby player was my number one aspiration. In truth, it was injuries that started my relationship with the gym; it was a shoulder operation that led me to my first gym membership aged 17.

Despite eating well and performing endless amounts of punishing workouts for years, I was not getting the results I was after; I realised I needed to learn to use my body more effectively.

I began to train in a way that really challenged my muscles and my mind. I got educated on nutrition and started building the strong body and mind I had always desired.

At 23 I had a serious car accident (see left), which left me out of action for some time. Despite this setback, using all I had learned, both mentally and physically I visualised where I wanted to be and started the repair process. Less than two years on and I had completed my second half marathon, I was physically stronger than when I started and mentally more resilient than ever.

I am sure whatever stage of the journey you are at I can push you to the next level, straighten your focus and drive you to where you want to be. Picture where you want to be in 12 months time. How good do you look? How amazing do you feel?
