AWKN With Dan レビュー 

I met Dan after seeing an advert online.

I was in a pretty bad place, confidence was rock bottom, felt fatigued and run down all of the time.

I was at breaking point.

Something about Dans programme just caught me.

I thought maybe this is the sign I've needed to turn things around. .

After years of neglect, and blaming myself for every little failure, Dan showed me how to control my thinking around these things.

He showed me how to eat healthily without sacrificing quality of life.

He showed me a lot of things I just did not think possible.

We worked on technique, diet, mindfulness and preparation to overcome failure when it undoubtedly arrives.

I found Dan very easy to get along with, it wasn't awkward of uncomfortable at all. It was just like going training with a mate a few times a week.

Dan would regularly reach out for a chat and to check in, he tailored a programme specifically to work for me and it did absolute wonders..

I started with Dan around 105kg. After 6 weeks I was down to 94 and feeling a whole lot better in myself.

Unfortunately I did suffer an injury at work, I'm actually writing this review from hospital as it is still ongoing and pretty serious. So I could not fully complete the programme as intended.

But even in the short time I was with Dan, I feel like he has given me life lessons I can take with me wherever I go.

Once this injury is dealt with I'd definitely go back to finish off.

If you're sitting on the fence, wondering if this would work for you when nothing else has, then take it from me. It will.

Make the leap, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Thanks for everything Dan 👊

For years I was focused on building the career I sacrificed everything for. Living in London meant networking, long days and plenty of meals out (and london’s booze culture didn’t help me either). Then I met my wife, we got married, bought a home, and had our son. Naturally, in the middle of all of that I forgot to look after myself and the weight crept on and my general physical health was not what it used to be. I didn't feel comfortable and I needed to to something about it.
My son changed everything. I didn't just want to lose weight and get abs. I wanted energy and for him to grow up watching his dad take care of himself. This became really important to me.

Working with Dan remotely, gave me the structure to do that. A plan that worked around a full life without nothing unsustainable.
For the first time in a long time I feel like I'm showing up as my best self for the people who matter most.
Thank you Dan.

I’ve got two kids and a full life and I started feeling quite sluggish. I’d just given up rugby and I could see the dad bod slowly creeping in and as someone who’s always looked after himself I didn’t want to use my kids as an excuse. So I decided to set myself a challenge of getting a six pack and just feel like me again.

Dan ran my bloodwork first and everything came back fine, which was reassuring. That actually made me more confident, because it meant if I did the right things consistently, following Dan’s plan would work. And it did work. I got leaner than I’d been in years, and got the six pack I set out to get. It gave me purpose again and made me realise I can do anything, even with two kids. Since then I’ve also done an Ironman and I feel really good going into my 40’s in a couple of years.

If you keep putting off joining like I did for months don’t. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Thank you Dan.

I came home from work one evening and my kids wanted my attention and I had nothing and I mean absolutely nothing left to give them I just collapsed on the sofa as they run around shouting my name.

I knew that shouldn’t be happening as I’m only 39 so I knew something was wrong as my mates have kids and they didn’t feel like this.

My best mate told me to get my bloods checked so I ordered one of those cheap online finger prick tests and when the results came back low.

I found Dan online and sent him my results. He confirmed what I already suspected and we got to work remotely, which suited me perfectly because I’m a plumber. I’m all over the place, driving to calls, travelling between jobs, there no routine, no fixed schedule, no time to be standing in a kitchen weighing food out and all that stuff and my wife does all the cooking so I couldn’t be eating separate meals to my family and to be fair Dan knew that and built everything around it which was really convenient and easy to be honest.

I was expecting the plan to be really extreme because I’ve trained before, someone’s with some trainers but this was really chilled and about being better instead of smashing yourself for a few weeks and then getting injured or ill. It felt like the proper way to do things.

My strength went up and my body changed. My kids still tire me out don’t get me wrong but I’m not coming home running on empty anymore. I can actually be their dad at the end of the day. I’m doing my first Hyrox soon too and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without Dan.

For any bloke who’s quietly wondering why he feels like a crap get in touch with Dan.

I’d put on weight over Christmas, stopped playing football, and just let things slide if I’m honest. I wanted to shift the belly and get back in shape before summer.
Dan kept it simple. No extreme methods, just a plan I could actually stick to. I lost the weight, got rid of the belly, and I’m now back running and I’ve found my love for the gym again. I’m the most consistent I’ve ever been.
Cheers Dan, appreciate it.

I was introduced to Dan by a friend following a visit to my doctor who advised my blood pressure was sky high. I was immediately placed on blood pressure tablets but I wanted to be proactive and make a positive change. I knew I needed to exercise more and live a healthier lifestyle.
This was a wake up call. I've got a wife and kids, a life I'm proud of and I want to be around for every milestone. I did not want to be the unhealthy, unfit husband and dad. I also wanted to make sure I was here!
My friend recommended Dan, so I reached out. Dan made it easy and I was immediately reassured by his approach. I remember when I started lifting, I was lifting 12kg dumbbells. I'm now lifting 32kg dumbbells for sets of 15 comfortably. I now really enjoy going to the gym and changed my lifestyle habits. I've dropped 9kg in weight, I've gone from XL to L in my clothes and I feel fit, healthy and well.
The great news is my blood pressure is now in the green zone and not the red danger zone. This alone has proved to me that the journey has been successful and worth continuing.
I can't thank Dan enough. The effort, support and keeping me accountable. He has made a massive difference.
The programme works. If you're on the fence about starting just do it. Your future self will thank you for it!

I’ve known Dan for a long time, so when I started seeing stuff online about bloodwork and testosterone, I knew he was the person to call. Id been feeling off with low energy, no motivation, sex drive wasn’t what it was and I just didn’t have the desire to do much anymore.

One conversation with Dan and we were doing my bloodwork. Turned out my testosterone was pretty low. He put together a thorough plan nutrition, training, cardio, supplements and when I retested, the numbers had gone up by quite a bit.

Now I’m losing fat, getting fitter than I’ve ever been, and I’ve just started doing marathons. My first Hyrox is on the horizon too.
Going into my 40’s feeling better than I have in years. Massively appreciate it, Dan.

I met Dan at the gym he was training clients in. For a few weeks, I watched how he coached people and could tell straight away how much he genuinely cared and wanted to help.

After trying for years to lose fat, build muscle, and get stronger on my own with very little success I finally plucked up the courage to reach out. Two years later, I’m in the best shape of my life.

What makes Dan different is how simple he makes everything. There’s so much noise online “eat this, avoid that” but he cuts through the BS. His approach fits around real life: travelling for work, family commitments, eating out, hobbies.

The bloodwork was especially useful. It highlighted a few deficiencies I didn’t even know I had, and Dan used that to build a plan tailored specifically for me.

Over our time together, I dropped 12kg of fat, my bench, squat, and deadlift all went through the roof, and my body feels fantastic. I’ve even taken up Jiu-Jitsu, something I never thought I’d do.

I can honestly say working with Dan has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health, confidence, and overall quality of life. Highly recommend.

I was the chronic yo-yo dieter who everyone expected to stay that way but I was done making excuses.

I’m a dad of four. I work full time, I was doing an evening college qualification, and Saturday rugby socials are non-negotiable for me.

Dan built the plan around my actual life like the rugby socials stayed, nothing was off limits, I trained 3 times a week for 45-50 minutes so that helped me stay consistent and in 90 days I’d lost 15 kilograms.

I’ll never forget turning up to my parents’ house for Sunday dinner, the whole family was there and everyone was thinking the same thing asking me if I was on the skinny jabs.

Seeing me in fitted clothes, carrying myself differently they assumed I was cheating.

I just finally had a plan that worked and it’s genuinely changed my life.

When I stopped playing rugby to be there for my family I was the heaviest I’d ever been. I’d wander into the gym with no real plan, wing it, eat well Monday to Thursday, then write the weekend off completely.

I knew what I should be doing I’ve played sport most of my life but I had no direction with it all. But I remember trying to get down on the floor to play with my little boy and it was harder than it should’ve been and was when I hit Dan up.

He was really accommodating because what gave me wasn’t an extreme overhaul so I could still enjoy weekends with my son, still go away with my partner, and not feel too restricted so I was chuffed with that.

I lost 17 kilograms in 16 weeks which is cool but more than that I’ve got purpose again. I can get on the floor with my boy without wincing and I can keep up with him. I feel like myself again. Great program thanks Dan.

I was putting all my effort into my business but I forgot to look after myself and it caught up with me. I started to feel tired, lost my confidence and I kept seeing others getting in shape and I wanted to get in on the action. I tried jogging, group training, and even joined the gym but I struggled to get the look I wanted.

When I met Dan I knew he was the right guy who cold help me; straight talking, pushed me, and help me accountable. He gave me structure, routines and I loved knowing I had to be there to train with him as it gave me focus. I even got him to help train my wife and son that’s how much trust I have in him as a coach. He is really knowledgeable, helpful, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I’d been following a 5x5 programme but my physique just wasn’t changing. I was training hard, sticking to the plan, doing everything right and nothing. I’d had personal trainers before too. They helped, but none of them ever got me to where I actually wanted to be. Then I started seeing Dan’s content about bloodwork, and it was speaking directly to me. At 49, I bit the bullet. When my results came back, my testosterone was at 13.1 nmol/L which was well below where it should be. That was the missing piece nobody had ever looked for. We got to work on bringing it up naturally, and within 16 weeks I had a six pack for the first time in my life.

Something I’d been chasing for years. Then we retested and my testosterone had risen to 20.1 nmol/L and I could feel the difference more confidence, energy, just generally sharper. I turned 50 in the best shape of my life, with the bloodwork to prove why it finally worked. The confidence that came from that has bled into everything not just how I look, but how I carry myself.
If you’re sitting on the fence, just do it. You’ve got nothing to lose. I only wish I’d done it sooner. Thanks Dan. Honestly, thank you so much.

I had a holiday to Dubai coming up with my wife and son and I made a decision I wasn’t going out there looking like I did because I didn’t like how I felt about myself.

I watched Dans content and found him relatable like he wasn’t extreme or anything like that. I like eating out with my partner, watching Liverpool with a pint and I wasn’t prepared to give all that up because I’ve tried the extreme stuff before nd it wasn’t for me.

Within two days of speaking to Dan a nurse was at my house taking bloods and the results flagged a few things nothing dramatic, but enough to work with so we made some adjustments and that’s what got me just how simple it was. I didn’t have to overhaul everything, when I went to Dubai in the best shape of my life I actually had abs at 50 years old and I felt like I still had it. I feel proud that my son is growing up watching his dad take care of himself and that means more to me than any number on a scale. I recommend Dan to all my mates as he’s great at what he does.

I came across Dan on Instagram and reached out because the content he was putting out spoke to my problems. I was stuck in a rut with my own training. I’d not long started and I felt like I was putting in a lot of effort but not seeing much progress. He suggested blood work to see what was going on inside my body. I was confused why this was so important but luckily with the healthcare system in Alaska I was able to get everything Dan needed from my Doctor.Dan looked at my blood results and we put together a diet, training, and supplement plan to help with some of the deficiencies I had in my body which was holding me back. The plan was really easy to follow and the app was really useful to communicate with Dan and get feedback from the exercises and my nutrition log. The weekly calls were super helpful if I had any questions. I was able to stay consistent because of the accountability of having to check ins with Dan once a week and knowing he was available when I had questions gave me confidence. I managed to lose 12kg of fat, build muscle, and finally see results for the effort I was putting in. Top guy.

I hit 35 and something changed. With twins and a three year old the lack of sleep was relentless. I didn’t have energy like I used to so I felt like I was getting lazy and I didn’t want my girls or my wife to see me like that because before then I was fit and I wanted to set a good example.

Because I piled on the weight didn’t like how I felt or looked I was getting frustrated, snapping at my kids over nothing because I had nothing left in the tank which made me feel guilty.

So I tried going back to what used to work like the hour and a half sessions, logging macros, meal prepping on Sundays but life wasn’t the same anymore. I couldn’t sustain it, and the frustration of not being able to do what I used to do just made everything worse.

Ive always had an interest in fitness so I knew the broken sleep and stress would be affecting my hormones.

When Dan ran my bloodwork, it confirmed what I suspected. We got that back on track, cut my training down to twice a week, 30–45 minutes, and he kept me accountable with regular check-ins.

Within 5 months I’d dropped 10 kilograms of fat. My bloodwork improved significantly. But the thing that matters most is I have energy again. Like fully present when I’m with them and I feel like I’m leading my family instead of just surviving the day and I feel really proud.

Me and my wife went to an abroad wedding recently too holiday and I was in the best shape of the group — the leanest I’d been in years so that was nice.

Best decision I’ve ever made so thanks for everything Dan.

I’d bought programs from a couple of well-known guys online. Paid good money and what u got was a PDF 6-day training split, and a meal prep plan that expected me to cook every single meal from scratch. With my job, that wasn’t happening. I stuck at it as long as I could but I was disappointed not just in the results, but in how little support there was.

I was embarrassed about my skinny arms, narrow shoulders I wanted to build muscle but nothing I tried was working and I felt let down

Then I kept seeing Dan’s content. And it confused me at first, because his clients were living normally eating out, enjoying their lives and they were building muscle training far less than I was. It was the opposite of everything I’d been told. That made me curious enough to reach out. What surprised me most was the bloodwork. I hadn’t even considered that my testosterone might be playing a role, but it came back low. I assumed fixing that was going to mean some complicated biohacking protocol that took over my life but it was a few simple adjustments, a training plan that actually worked around my schedule, and things started moving.

By the end, my friends were asking me if I was on steroids which was hilarious. I just finally had the right plan and someone in my corner who actually gave a shit about the result.

The confidence that comes with feeling good in your own body is something I always tell people now I’ve gone through my own transformation.

Thank you Dan.

I turn 60 next year and I'm in the best shape that I've been in for years, thanks to the work I've been doing with Dan.

Let's face it, as we get older, staying in shape is not as easy. If it was easy, everyone would be in shape. Dan has helped me not only with what to do and how to do it, but crucially, the mindset. The result is that I've got in great shape and have stayed there. I know I will never go back.

Since working with Dan, I have developed habits that are now easy to live and I have never found it easier to keep the weight off as I do since working with him.

I'm excited about the next phase. I can't recommend Dan highly enough. It was one of my best decisions in years. Give him a call- his strategies work, and work LONG TERM.

I love the training. The diet is sustainable and enjoyable and my energy levels are consistently high. Thanks Dan. 💪

When you’ve always been the “skinny guy,” you start to lose a bit of hope. I was training regularly, eating plenty, doing all the right things or at least I thought I was but every time I tried to gain muscle, I’d just end up putting on fat instead. I’d gain weight, but I didn’t look any different. My clothes fit the same, and no one ever noticed a change. It was frustrating, and honestly, pretty demoralising.

When I came across Dan’s page and saw the results other men were getting in just a few months (results I hadn’t achieved in years) I decided to reach out. The first thing he had me do was get my blood work done, and that alone was eye-opening. There were a few deficiencies holding me back that I’d never have known about otherwise.

From there, Dan built a plan around me. The weekly check-ins, honest feedback, and training reviews pushed me in all the right ways. He didn’t just tell me what to do he helped me understand why I was doing it, and challenged my mindset in a way that made me better, not just physically but mentally too.

Since then, I’ve gained over 10kg of lean muscle, added serious strength to my lifts, added yards to my drive, and finally look like I actually train. More importantly, I feel confident in myself again. I’ve got the energy and strength to keep up with my boys, to play, lead by example, and create memories I’ll actually be proud of when they’re older. I’m genuinely grateful I found Dan. He’s helped me become someone who believes in himself again.

Prioritising my family, business and not myself left me sitting at 120 kilos in the worst shape of my life. I felt really sluggish and I had no confidence in myself. I had a family holiday coming up in a year and I knew I wouldn’t enjoy it in the shape I was in. After a recommendation from a friend I reached out to Dan. I’d tried diets before with not a lot of luck and I’d never really exercised apart from a few laps around the village!

In just over a year I managed to lose 25 kilos even with two boys and managing a business. The plan was really simple and suited my lifestyle. The best part was gong on holiday and feeling confident enough to be topless something I hadn’t done for years. I can’t recommend Dan enough. He listens, cares, and always helped me when I need it. Diolch.
