I've been attending Dan's classes for a few months and can definitely see the difference in my fitness levels. The classes are much more relaxed than others I've been to but somehow I also find myself working harder in them!! I was so impressed with Dan that I started weekly personal training sessions with him which have helped my fitness levels even more. Would highly recommend him.

C. M.

Forge Fitness came recommended and it certainly lived up to my expectations! Dan is very encouraging and keeps you motivated. I have done several of the classes all of which are varied and adapted to all levels of fitness. I have met some lovely people and everyone is so supportive of each other. Dan is extremely accommodating and started doing family classes for the younger ones on our request and the kids are loving it too! Well done for starting a fantastic business at such a young age and keeping the prices so competitive!

I started Dan's classes a few months ago and I'm really enjoying them. He's very professional and motivating. Everyone is really welcoming and friendly. I can feel my fitness has improved. I would definitely recommend.

Dan has endless dedication for someone so young running his own business. He knows his stuff and can tailor a fitness program to suite you! Tons of class options throughout the week and a packed bootcamp at the weekend! You ever want someone to assist you with sorting your weekly meal prep then Dan is your go to guy to ensure you are always on the right track to aid your fitness journey Works with football clubs to aid their fitness and injury recovery and various charity events to help raise funds where needed... Dan pretty much covers it all! Prices are amazing and you will never regret signing up a group of sessions or classes!

The progress I am making is amazing, I did not have much confidence when I started, but Dan was wonderful and made me feel at ease. All PT sessions are suited to your ability and never the same exercises each week. Highly recommend. Also recommend the classes, they are excellent and friendly with no judging at all.

M. B.

Highly recommend, Dan is very professional, classes cater for everyone and all levels.Really friendly. Excellent advice and nutrition plans. I'm now using the monthly PT app as well so I can do some form of exercise each day which is so convenient for me. I feel more healthier, fitter, and more confident since I have been attending forge Fitness & nutrition . Thanks Dan

Reluctantly reviewing as when the word spreads Forge Fitness will expand rapidly! Lovely bespoke fitness training in a wonderful rural setting. Structured classes including tailored one to one sessions, boot camps and more. Don’t be put off by Dan’ youthfulness - he has a lot to teach, the motivation and confidence to get you to reach your goals - whatever they maybe. Clientele in the classes are supportive and non judgemental to all participants and Dan cracks the whip to keep us all working at our respective levels pushing us as individuals. Try one session and you’ll be hooked!

Joining the Boxercise class twice a week with Dan has been brilliant. In three months I feel fitter and stronger and really look forward to the sessions. Dan is knowledgeable as well as friendly and encouraging. Would seriously recommend. Thoroughly deserving of five stars!

I can honestly say I have never been committed to exercise in the past ,so seeing Dan I now have a better understanding in exercise and nutrition. Dan is a great person ,he has certainly a high knowledge of excercise and nutrition and with positive attitude,patience and guidance he has really helped me. In the few weeks of coming I have gained self confidence in myself Dan has given me a nutrition plan so with this and exercise will give me better results I’ve also joined his legs bums and tums class I suffer with a few aches and pains but with my personal training plan it really has helped I would 100 percent recommend Dan to anyone May my fitness journey continue.

Dan’s fitness classes are thoroughly enjoyable, the content varies from week to week and he takes a relaxed approach. I’ve been going for a couple months and have noticed a definite improvement in my fitness levels and well being . Such great classes and Dan is friendly and welcoming to all!

R. &. E. H.

Highly recommend Dan and all the classes! We started with Boxercise and Circuits and also do PT with him. Very well priced, knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. Excellent at tailoring workouts for different capabilities and goals and we both really look forward to our workouts as we see the progression in our strength and fitness :)

Having been a gymaholic for many years when I was younger, I needed to get back my motivation. I had a consultation with Dan who was very approachable and in turn tailored my pt sessions to my goals.. I have had one to one pt sessions with Dan for the last couple of months and already I can see a difference ..I have lost inches 🤩..I suffer with Arthritis in my neck which affects my sleep, since these sessions my neck feels a lot easier and my quality of sleep has improved ..Dan is a great motivator and will push you to get that extra mile. As yet I haven’t joined in with his classes, that’s on the to do list, 🥴 and if you want a eating plan he can tailor that to your needs too..just a win win situation!!

Joined the LIT class in January to see what it was like and enjoyed it so much , I’ve stayed with Forge Fitness and go every week to either Boxercise , LIT or the new class Legs , Bums and Tums. Dan is professional, encouraging and makes it challenging but fun too. He is a really lovely bloke and its a brilliant place to exercise and meet lovely people who help and encouraged you to do your best . Great local fitness trainer and company .

R. U.

Been training with Dan since he started out, and wow, what an amazing journey he has had. Challenging Group classes, PT sessions, suitable for all abilities. He does it all, even Bootcamp with a fantastic assort course, flipping tyres, ropes water can running. Thank you Dan for making fitness fun and making us all fitter and stronger. Highly recommended.

C. R.

I joined Forge Fitness when I moved the the area in January and have enjoyed classes as well as personal training. The classes and PT sessions are excellent value for money and never did I think I would like exercising like I do now. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming and actually looked forward to sessions each week.

I have always been "gymphobic" and hated any kind of working out exercise. Due to becoming a massive lardy bum in lockdown my hubby and I booked weekly PT sessions with Dan. I was so nervous but Dan has been amazing. I am now doing 2 PT sessions per week and Saturday bootcamp. The bootcamp is hard but fun with some of the nicest, most supportive people I could hope to meet. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan for PT or his classes as he is so knowledgeable and makes what I would normally class as torture fun!

g. l.

Went to see Dan at forged fitness in late December as been having health issues and after a long chat we found nutrition plan I was using was missing key features. So Dan made me a new nutrition plan and I joined his PT classes and now five months down the line I have to say I feel a different person.

S. L.

Not only is Dan exceptional as a fitness trainer with his knowledge and motivation, he makes the sessions varied and fun as well. I would totally recommend Dan to anyone who wants to improve or maintain their personal fitness.

M. C.

Been a gym goer for years but since covid haven’t worked out much. Dan eased me back in to exercise where I’m starting enjoying working out again. Workouts are varied and work the whole body. I attend LBT once a week as his classes are at a suitable time for a working mum.

B. C.

My husband and I joined 2 months ago to get fit for our holiday. There’s a great selection of classes for every level of fitness. With a really friendly bunch of people that attend. Dan is absolutely lovely guy with a great knowledge not only for helping people get fit, but healthy eating too.

M. D.

First time I’ve really worked with weights and wow I’ve seen results in less than 4 weeks !!! 😀 Dan is a great teacher and always gets you motivated really enjoy my PT classes and recently joined some group classes which are great too 👍 Julia Dunt

C. W.

I would highly recommend Forge Fitness & Nutrition. Dan provides a variety of classes throughout the week, aswell as PT sessions tailored to your needs. Dan offers freindly helpful advice on exercise and eating plans.

H. R.

I have been going to Dan’s classes and recently started PT with him, and can honestly say I look forward to each session. Dan makes each workout interesting, fun and challenging. I always feel great afterwards. Dan adapts the exercises so that all the classes are suitable for all abilities. The classes are small, very friendly and everyone encourages and supports each other.

D. C.

Fantastic Individually structured private sessions and meal plans excellent group classes and Saturday boot camp all at exceptional value for money. I have trained with many PT over the decades, however the best was saved for last Dan is head and shoulders above them all. Fully invested in individual’s needs goals and dreams he has outstanding motivation skills that I look forward to every session with a smile. Dan is dedicated hard working professional, I have been training since October and am well on my way to reaching my goals weight, fitness etc I have never met a personal trainer like him before magnificent.

S. Y.

Dan is great!! He has taken on personal training sessions with my teenage son and listened and responded to everything we asked for. Communication is good. The service is friendly, professional and comprehensive, the additional advice on nutrition has also been appreciated. I can’t recommend Dan highly enough!!

M. G.

Have been working with Dan since January with a focus on building strength , I had previously used crossfit gym but during the pandemic lost all my mojo for exercise, Since having PT with Dan from January ( Christmas gift from my amazing other half ) I find Dan easy to work with and his Knowledge is far beyond his years . My strength is coming back and i am again enjoying the torture I would Recommend Dan to anybody that wants to get started in fitness, Or like myself needed and kick to get back into training Thanks Dan you are a star

H. F.

I’ve had personal training with Dan the last few weeks. Every class is varied and interesting, Dan is very professional and friendly. He also gives encouragement to keep going! Very reasonably priced as well. Would definitely recommend Dan .

S. S.

My husband and I have been working with Dan to help Tony lose weight and get his diabetes into control after just 6weeks Tony has lost 10lbs in weight and his sugar levels are now into single figures I am going g to shape up after losing 6st and can see and feel the results I can highly recommend him and his meal plans work

M. F.

Great trainer, works you hard but hey, no pain, no gain as they say! Also sorted out a personal food plan and recipes which is a great help. Can’t recommend Dan highly enough 👍🏻

A. H.

Cannot recommend Dan highly enough. His boxercise classes are awesome and he explains all the exercises thoroughly beforehand. You get a great varied workout and his classes are suitable for all abilities. Looking forward to trying Bootcamp at the weekend 😊

H. H.

I highly recommend coming along to any of the many sessions Dan provides or even booking a private PT slot with him. He structures a different set of fitness activities for each class every week so they are not repetitive and boring. He is sympathetic to individual’s abilities and works with them to help maximise their strengths and fitness levels. It's outside and undercover and Dan provides exceptional value for money with small class sizes which make it feel so much more personal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

C. H.

Attended bootcamp for the first time on Saturday. It was varied, tough and really enjoyable. The assault course was great fun followed by exercises using tyres, filled water containers and battle ropes. Dan adapted the exercises according to ability and he was encouraging and knowledgeable. I am really looking forward to more sessions and becoming fitter and stronger. Thank you Dan.

S. M.

I joined my first class at forge fitness 6 weeks ago, anxious, unmotivated and seriously unfit! Dan has been so supportive and I quickly increased from 1 class to some weeks doing 4. Every excuse I told myself as to why I couldn't exercise gets proven wrong with every lesson... feel too tired = it actually gives me energy, have a headache = headache clears, scared to hurt my back = my back is feeling stronger than ever. I leave the class aching but happy and this week I really noticed and improvement in the amount I can do without stopping. It is such a friendly supportive environment I now look forward to exercising... something I never thought I would say!!! thank you Dan for reassuring me at every step, every class is a step closer to being fitter and getting this excess weight off, I have already lost 1st 6lbs and for once have faith I will get to my goal!

G. S.

I really enjoy going to Dan’s fitness classes, l work hard but lm already feeling the results, it is a friendly place
