Caoimhe approached me back in December 2021 with the goal in mind to complete a physique photoshoot prep.

She explained to me that it didn’t matter the time frame as long as it was completed within 2022.

It was clear from the start that Caoimhe’s work ethic was second to none and she impressed me from the get go with her dedication & attitude to both training & nutrition.

Each individual is specific. Therefore each individual will always get a specific approach. Those who are transparent with me will always come out on top as then I can make my adjustments accordingly.

We spent 5 months building food up with very little energy expenditure. A comfortable step goal was initially established & no cardio for a long time. This was so that we could make use of these tools closer to the end of her prep, when needed.

We were smart about our approach. No hammering the cardio from day dot, no big crazy deficit to begin. It wasn’t needed.

As a result of this & as you can see by the photos, Caoimhe’s muscle mass continued to improve & also held as the prep went on.

We had plenty of laughs & gains along the way, and this girl is going to go far in the future. Slow & steady won the race - in this case 🐢⛏

Well done Caoimhe, I am so very proud of you & all we have achieved the past 7 months! Thank you for choosing me as your coach for your first prep 🙏🏻❤️

I couldn’t be prouder of my long-term client Naomi who nailed her first physique transformation prep & as a result looked absolutely amazing.

Naomi came to me 1 year ago with the goal of improving her self-confidence, getting stronger & also dropping some body fat.

Initially we placed Naomi within a small deficit, so as to also build her strength throughout, & also increased her energy expenditure through having a structured cardio plan across the 12 weeks to improve her fitness levels gradually.

We absolutely nailed this initial dieting phase as Naomi is the perfect client and listens to exactly what I ask of her & is very open and honest with me if ever there were a slip up.

From October - April we gradually worked on building calories up & bringing expenditure down for Naomi to place her in the perfect spot for a photoshoot prep.

That’s what coaching is about. Working together long term and constantly finding what works well for the client to improve the overall outcome in future 📈

Thank you Naomi for trusting me with everything throughout this past year & well done on everything you have achieved so far - I couldn’t be prouder!

Plenty more to come from this girl in future so for now, the lean gains continue…🦏

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR COACH TIME TO WORK WITH YOU THROUGH VARIOUS PHASES 📈⏱

2 years of consistently working together has resulted in this absolutely incredible physique transformation.

The great thing about my loyal, long-term client Shannon is that no matter what, she trusts me wholeheartedly with whatever it is that I ask of her or plan for her. This is where next level transformations occur 💣

Placing your trust in your Coach to get you to where you want to be no matter whether you see the results instantly or not, is the key to a successful Coaching partnership.

In 2020 I prepped Shannon for her first ever physique transformation photoshoot. It’s safe to say that over the past 2 years I have learned a lot about how Shannon’s body responds to prep & the various elements involved in order to achieve an amazing result for her. This gave me a great sense of direction for her second prep almost 2 years later & this is why we have achieved an even better result, with a far more comfortable prep for Shannon both in terms of nutrition & activity output.

The longer you stay as a client, the better I get at doing my job for you. That I can assure - providing you adhere to the plan! 🔨

Well done Shannon for all your hard work and dedication - it most certainly paid off 🙏🏻❤️

SO YOU WANT TO BUILD GREAT GLUTES? OKKK I GOT YOU 🙋🏼‍♀️

The 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗦 ™ method did not come to playyy with this one 🔥🥵

There are no two-ways about it. When it comes to building muscle you must be prepared to commit to a long-term plan.

The transformation above has been completed over 1 YEAR of my client & I working together. Yes that is 12 months of sheer hard work & consistency.

Initially my client came to me with the goal of dropping bodyfat & building her glutes but these are two completely different goals sooo what do we do? We get a plan put into place. Short-term & long-term.

Within our first 12 weeks we chipped away any unwanted bodyfat & also completed a photoshoot within this period. Absolutely smashed this phase & her shoot.

Now for the fun part. Building calories up, bringing cardio down & working on my specialty - BUILDING GREAT GLUTES 🍑🔥

Over the past 9 months our main focus has been on getting food as high as possible & building an insane set of Glutes. I think it’s fair to say we are also smashing this phase…

I am very lucky to have a great team of clients who are committed to the process & results like these show why it is important to find a Coach that you really can connect well with & place your trust in to get you where you want to be 💪🏼

Very proud of my long-term client Arlene who looked absolutely incredible at her first physique shoot.

Arlene & I began working together last September however due to lockdown number 2 back in December we were only able to resume our gym training in May.

check out what Arlene had to say about her Phase 1 experience of the 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗦 ™ method :

‘Where do I start? I could write an essay about Danielle & my experience but I’ll keep it short & sweet …

During lockdown I struggled to find the motivation to go to the gym, and truthfully I was running out of excuses. After having months off from the gym, I reached out to Danielle in May and looking back this was the best decision I’ve ever made. Danielle’s endless transformation results and passionate work ethic made it a very simple decision of who to choose as a PT.

In the past I tried to be healthy, would have tried to go to gym, had a previous PT but being with Danielle was the first time I could see any change. My journey with Danielle has been the best experience, and has shown how disciplined you can become with the constant motivation, guidance and support.

From someone who wasn’t comfortable with even wearing a bikini on holiday, I never even dreamed of doing a photoshoot. This has shown me that anything is possible when you have the right coach. I havent just gained an amazing PT, I’ve also gained a great friend through this journey.

I cannot thank Danielle enough for my amazing journey. I am looking forward to our 2nd phase and can’t wait to see what’s next for us. Forever grateful to have found Danielle ❤️’

That’s what coaching is about. Working together long term and constantly finding ways to improve 📈

A pleasure to be able to say I coached Arlene for this shoot but also got to do her makeup too…

Well done my girl, I am SO proud of everything you have achieved 🔥👏🏼

ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BUT NEVER STOP WORKING FOR WHAT YOU WANT 💯

Being a Personal Trainer, first & foremost my main objective is always to help as many people as I can in achieving their goals, whatever this may be - from having a healthier mindset, to physical appearance, general fitness levels and the list goes on.

With my clients we decide what they want. Write that down. Make a plan. Then work on it EVERY SINGLE DAY to get the desired result.

My long term strategy is to always lead with VALUE, thinking with what IMPACT I can have on those around me in mind, and finding FULFILMENT in the work that I do.

The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. Therefore I will continue to educate myself everyday, so that I have the knowledge to continue guiding my clients towards achieving incredible transformation results & ensuring they are provided with the highest quality of service they can possibly have.

Look out for a lot more results coming from the 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗦 ™ team in 2021...📈📸

🍑🔥THICCER THAN A SNICKER 🍫🥵

two things you have control of in this life : your ATTITUDE & your EFFORT.

those who are highly motivated are actually highly disciplined. motivation comes & goes for everyone of course, and that’s okay we are all human BUT you also have to be accountable to your actions outside of your PT sessions.

if you want this level of results you have got to be willing to put the work in!!!

this transformation is an example of what happens when you LISTEN to your Coach.

track your food ! eat the calories set to you by your Coach specific to YOUR goals, day in day out - not just Monday-Friday.

if your Coach sets you a step goal don’t just hit it once or twice a week & think that’s enough - it’s been set for a reason so stay disciplined and do it!

this girl never missed a PT session, ate clean whole foods & tracked it all to a T, hit her step & protein goal everyday, managed her sleep & water intake for optimal recovery & THIS IS WHY we were able to achieve this incredible level of result in 12 short weeks 🔥👏🏼

12 WEEKS WORK WITH 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗦 ™...

my client Shannon came to me with the goal of, in her words, ‘typical girl goals - slim waist, big bum’ and wowww did we achieve that AND so much more 🔥

we created a well balanced physique, increased both strength & fitness levels - hitting lots of PB’s throughout this shoot prep & even went through a lockdown in the process of it all 🤷🏼‍♀️

check out what Shannon had to say about her Phase 1 of training with 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗦 ™ :

‘Coming out of lockdown I struggled to find motivation towards the gym and ‘I’ll start on Monday’ was becoming a reoccurring theme. I decided something needed to change, so at the start of September I reached out to , and I’ve never looked back, if anything I regret not reaching out sooner. I went to Danielle for accountability but never did I think I’d get the results I have within 12 weeks - it’s scary what you can achieve with the right support and guidance. Not only am I 22 pounds down, but I’ve never felt better, both physically and mentally than I do now and that’s all down to Danielle. I never thought I’d ever do fitness photo shoot, and don’t get me wrong it was hard and yes there was tears and a lot of domino’s cravings lol but I’m so happy and unbelievably proud of myself for seeing it through. Words can’t explain how appreciative and thankful I am for everything Danielle has done for me during the process, not only as a coach but also as a friend. Anyone considering getting a PT going into the new year, Danielle is the one for it. Excited to see what we can achieve in 2021’

Shannon’s work ethic is incredible & the results showww 🤯🔥
Phase 2 pending ...

PASSION ...

‘Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do’.

I feel very grateful that I am able to do something I wholeheartedly love as a job everyday. Being able to help others & assist clients to achieve their goals whatever they may be, is a feeling I will never get tired of.

Purpose fuels Passion - so do what you love, focus your energy on what you love & commit to doing whatever it takes to contribute to it’s success 📈

🔥 BE PATIENT, BE CONSISTENT & THE RESULTS WILL COME 🔥

As we approach the first Monday of the New Year, many people will begin their fitness journeys for the first time.

Don’t feel disheartened if you don’t see results overnight, then go back to your old ways come February.
Decide your goal. Make gradual, smart changes whether this be to your activity levels or nutrition. Tick the boxes daily to achieve your goal. Hire a coach if needed to help you stay accountable throughout. Work insanely hard. Most importantly - enjoy the process.

This shoot was completed 2 days after the 2nd lockdown but we controlled what we could & still achieved an incredible result - Jessica even lost 2 stone between these photos👏🏼🤯

INVEST IN YOURSELF IN 2021 💯

here is what my client Jessica had to say about her latest programme & experience of training with me -

‘This time next year you will have completed your first fitness photoshoot’ - something someone could have said to me last year and i would’ve laughed in their face. I am so incredibly proud of myself, in July of this year i decided to get in contact with to lose a bit of weight, get fitter and generally just feel better. Fast forward 5 months, i’m 2 stone down, completed my shoot the beginning of december and i am feeling on top of the world. I honestly cannot thank Danielle enough for everything she’s done for me - pushing me to my limits, reminding me that i am capable of so much more than i ever believed and genuinely just being such a good friend during the whole process! Don’t get me wrong, training for a photoshoot is not the most enjoyable thing in the world especially towards those last 3 weeks, but i am SO happy that i stuck to the plan, trusted the process and completed the prep for the shoot. After a lot of tears, tantrums, hangry episodes and mental breakdowns - WE DONE IT 👏🏼’

Well done Jessica, I am so proud of all your hard work 👏🏼
