“Hiring Dan as my personal trainer was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve always been very active and have tried almost every workout out there i.e Running, Step Aerobics, Tae Bo, joining a gym etc. None of them gave me the results that I’ve achieved with Dan. 
“Originally we contacted Dan, because we knew we had a problem. We were overweight and both my husband and I have heart disease, he having had 2 heart attacks and me having had one. Our ages at the time were 56 and 64. I personally had severe arthritis in my knees and some days I could barely walk and my husband had also been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and diabetes.We knew we needed to do something to get back on track and We liked the idea of having a personal trainer come to the house. We met with Dan and found he was very knowledgable about our problems, and it didn’t scare him off! Two of us for an hour would be enough to discourage most trainers, As they would have to simultaneously give us work out plans to work on different parts of our bodies keeping in mind all of our physical problems. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The thing I remember most was Dan telling us that we had to get our recumbent bike out and use it as well as heart monitors. He wasn’t pushy, just made it clear that we just had to start moving. The bike is now a big part of our TV room furnishings! Yes, we wanted to lose weight, but our main purpose was to get healthy and feel better. We thought this would be short term, but here we are a year and a half later and it now feels like Dan is part of our family. My knees are 100 % better than when we first met, my husbands frozen shoulder is not a problem anymore. But most importantly is that our blood work comes back better than ever. I even joined his bootcamp when he thought I was ready and although it is hard he is always there to guide and encourage me. For 4 bootcamps I was always the oldest in the class and although I have certain limitations I am now able to hold my own! Dan also worked on a nutrition plan with us, not that we ate badly, but he told us we were not eating enough! We sat down one day and discussed what foods we enjoyed and he was able to come up with a menu we could truly live with on a day to day basis without missing anything we enjoyed. We lack for nothing and certainly are satisfied with our meals. He even told us it was okay to cheat every once in a while, but then to just get right back on track. We find dan to be very caring, personable and always has our well being at the heart of All our workouts. For the one hour he is with us, He is tough when needed, but at the same time is always making sure that we are not hurting ourselves. Our workouts change as we get stronger and sometimes he pushes us to places we never thought we could get to. I have lost weight, 25lbs and my husband has lost 32lbs, and we have kept it off, but more importantly we feel better, look better , have more stamina and are healthier than we have been In the past 10 years. Dan is definitely a big part of this happening! As much as I sometimes hate the idea of our gruelling workouts I always look forward to seeing him (and using a few choice words) and seeing just how far he can push these old bodies!”
“I interviewed several personal trainers. Dan was the only trainer who did not appear to be the slightest bit put off by the fact that I was in a cast from a ripped Achilles tendon but still had the focus of getting back to competitive ballroom dancing. The previous month, I had torn my Achilles tendon just as we were gearing up for a major competition. I was devastated when I learned that the typical recovery was 12 months and that most people did not ever completely recover. I can now do pretty well everything I could before my injury using the injured leg. I feel nothing after competing whereas my whole body used to ache for at least 2 days after a major competition. People are still shocked to see me back on the competitive circuit and dancing just as well if not better than before. As a side note….I look damned good in my competitive dresses. I lost excess fat, gained phenomenal lean muscle tone. I have more stamina, flexibility and strength. The most valuable thing Dan taught me is not to cheat. Dan insists that if I cheat, I am only cheating myself. I can’t have “slacking off” off days, which I would do if I worked out on my own. The results speak for themselves.” – Carole Simmons
“I lost 30 lbs. in 2002, after reaching my heaviest weight ever. I was working out at a local gym, but unfortunately, they went out of business. I tried to do it on my own, but was not successful. Gradually, I gained 15 of those lbs. back again. I did not want to go back to where I was before I lost 30 lbs., so I knew I had to do something. My husband was also feeling out of shape, so we decided to work with a personal trainer. Steve’s goal was to get in shape, mine was to lose 15 lbs., get in shape, and weigh less than my husband! I also wanted to change the shape of my body and have the toned arms I had only ever seen on models in fitness magazines.
“I’ve been working with Dan every Tuesday night since 2008. This month, I passed a milestone: for two sessions in a row, I’ve completed more than 50 push-ups. When we started working together, I think the best I could do was 10 or 12.”
