Dan Barker: Personal Training

Personalised Hyrox Training Plans - now available!

This is something I’ve been asked about a lot so I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure I can provide my clients with best possible service, and with 13 weeks left to Hyrox Manchester and 15 weeks to Hyrox Glasgow, what perfect time to start!

What you get….

* Fitness assessments built into the plan for accurate reference points, you can’t improve what you don’t measure!

* Full personalised training plan that can either be used stand alone or as a supplement to your current training.

* Nutrition and recovery plans also available through my online coaching app.

Establishing a routine or habit of training is important but if you want to take your performance to the next level you have to make sure your training has a purpose, so you are not just training out of habit but are actually working to become a better athlete.

Plans available for a monthly fee with the first cycle starting 7th November.

Great day and a pleasure to compete with who all absolutely smashed it! But I came away knowing I have plenty to work on, onto the next! 💪

Loads of fun judging at Same s*x 3’s comp last week.

Roll on September 10th for the next one!

Hyrox Pro London

Paced it well and was on for much quicker time than Manchester with a decent placing but made a couple of mistakes which included an extra lap on the sled pull and a 5 minute penalty 🙄

My time 1:16 (including 5 minute penalty)

Great day though, really enjoyed it but feel like there’s plenty of room to improve!

Good luck to the guys from competing at Hyrox London tomorrow.

Pull the pin and send from the off, there’s no other way!

One rep at a time, one mile at a time, one step at a time.

6 days until Hyrox London, can’t wait!

Daily habits 🧠

The older I get the more I realise how fleeting mobility and flexibility is. Strength and general conditioning is relatively easy to build at any age but strength without control is pointless.

I’ve been working on the couch stretch daily for a few weeks now, holding this position for a good 2-3 minutes each side. Still a way to go but I’m noticing a big difference already.

Find a position where you can squeeze the glutes and still take a breath without arching the back. Your hips, knees and back will thank you for it!
