About CoachDW
A long-serving devotee of evidence-based Personal Training, Strength & Fitness Coaching, Danny Williams has over 30 years and more than 40,000 hours experience as a Personal Trainer and Sports Coach in 1-2-1, group and team settings.
With a PT clientéle that includes everyday heroes, elite athletes & sports stars, celebrities, high profile entrepreneurs & global business executives, Danny has also worked in Health & Fitness Management with David Lloyd Leisure and was a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Course Assessor for Health & Fitness (NVQ was the forerunner to REPS).
In Danny's words:
“Nowadays I mainly work with more mature parents (35-40+) that want to level up their training, nutrition and lifestyle habits whilst setting a great example to their children. My key areas of expertise are fitness, nutrition & habit coaching for athletic and aesthetic improvement in order to live and perform better, for longer. I also have extensive experience with sports injuries having worked with, and learned from, some of the country’s best sports therapists and medical professionals.
“I have a no-nonsense, BS-free approach to coaching and whilst many of my clients are successful business professionals and entrepreneurs I have a range of options available and can usually tailor a program to suit both the time and budget of anyone that is committed to becoming the best version of themselves by getting stronger, fitter & healthier. My fluff-free approach to resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, nutrition & lifestyle habit coaching needn't take up too much time nor cost the Earth.
I’ve been doing this a long time! No matter where you are in your fitness journey or how far you have to go, I’ve helped many people just like you go further than they dreamed possible when we started.”

TESTIMONIALS
Frank Furness
Motivational Speaker
As an International Speaker I travel and speak at a lot of Leisure Industry and IHRSA events so I've had some of the best Personal Trainers around the world but the one that stands out that I always come back to is Danny Williams. He's the best of the best, he really knows his stuff and if you're serious about your training I recommend him very highly.
Susan Glenny
Ocean Racing Yacht Skipper
I first trained with Danny way back in 2010. What really impressed me at first was he saw me on a rowing machine and without being told anything recognised that I had a certain back condition. He made some changes to my technique that enabled me to train pain free for the first time in years. I'm now looking forward to working towards an Olympic campaign in 2024 with him. He's not for the faint-hearted but if you want to take your training to the next level then I recommend Danny highly .
Madeline 'Ice Maiden' Mason
First person over 50 to complete an unassisted expedition to the South Pole - after two years in bed with CFS
From an article in Zest magazine
Quite frankly, it seems ridiculous. I'd been training with Danny for a couple of months or so after a long spell of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome had left me mostly exhausted in bed for two years. Danny is very passionate about the importance of having what he calls 'goals beyond your goals'. During one of our sessions I mentioned I'd read an article about expeditions to the South Pole and Danny said "That's a great goal to have beyond our current one!", which I think at the time was walking a mile or two without a rest - hilarious! At first I thought he was joking but I still recall the look on his face... Well, to cut a long story short, almost two years later and there I was stood at the South Pole - the first person over the age of 50 to do so in an unassisted expedition. Quite ridiculous.
David Pears
Director, Williams Pears Group
“Great Trainer, knowledgeable and hard work but makes it enjoyable. He can also pour a superb Martini, not stirred! No hesitation recommending Danny to anyone that wants to take their training seriously.”
Brent Larkham
ATP Tennis Pro, Head Coach AUS
I'd been written off with a back injury and told I wouldn't play again but after being introduced to Danny I actually improved my World Ranking. When I moved into coaching I had Danny work with several of my players, always with great results. I've worked with some of the best trainers, physios and sports therapists in the world and he's up there.
Nick Leeson
'Rogue Trader', Ex-Banker
After everything I'd been through I needed to get my health and fitness back on track. Danny knows how to find that last bit you never thought was in there. I wouldn't have got through that [London Marathon] without him.
Mark Fuller
Owner, Sanctum Hotels
A friend recommended Danny to me as a Trainer that was good with backs and he made a world of difference with mine which meant I could lift weights and do some boxing training with him. Being able to train properly again made a big difference to my fitness and I’ve recommended him to a number of our celebrity clients at the hotel, always with glowing reports.
Wayne Arthurs
Tennis Pro, ATP World Tour
First player to beat Pete Sampras for 2 years
When you're up against the best in the world you need your secret weapons and Danny was one of mine.
D.S.
Global Banker, President & CEO
Refused 'key-man' insurance due to weight & health risk, literally became less than half the man he was.
Unfortunately I can't comment publicly but I'm over the moon and think 28-odd stone to just under 14 probably says it all so I'll be sure to tell everyone who asks, which is literally everyone I speak to.

What is evidence-based coaching (EBC)?
EBC is the practice of using scientific research proven principles, backed by peer-group consensus, to prescribe safe and effective training, nutrition and lifestyle habit programs for optimal health, fitness and wellness.
Additionally, with over 30 years and more than 40,000 hours PT & Coaching experience, I've had the opportunity to work and collaborate with and learn from many of the world's leading sports medicine and exercise scientists, therapists and coaches.

Do you offer in-person 1-2-1 or group sessions?
PTs sell sessions, I provide results.
Whilst I have some long-term 1-2-1 clients that prefer regular in-person PT sessions, this is usually only necessary where specific technical coaching is required or preferred, due to either injury rehabilitation or for advanced athletic performance.
That said, I do try to meet all clients in person and have travelled by land, air and sea to do so!

Do you provide training and/or meal plans?
The short answer is yes, however, my approach is very much teaching and coaching rather than doing it for you. I will educate you to be able to create and modify your own programs by knowing how to measure and monitor progress and then adapt your program accordingly.
