Kevin is a 64-year-old Barrister who came to DH Personal Training looking to stay fit and manage the physical strain of long days spent at a desk.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Kevin was dealing with the all-too-common effects of a sedentary professional lifestyle.
Spending most of his day sitting meant stiffness, reduced mobility, and regular back aches were becoming part of daily life.
Like many professionals, he needed a way to stay active without it feeling like a chore.
Why They Nearly Didn't Start
At first, Kevin may have questioned whether committing time each week to training would be sustainable alongside a demanding career.
There’s often doubt around whether the effort will truly outweigh the time investment.
The Turning Point
Once he started training with Dan, Kevin quickly realised that sessions could be both challenging and enjoyable.
The variety, structure, and one-to-one attention made all the difference — keeping him consistent over the long term.
The Results
After 8 years of consistent training, Kevin has achieved:
Increased strength and overall fitness
Improved flexibility and mobility
Eliminated regular back aches from desk work
Built a routine he genuinely enjoys and sticks to
Here’s what he had to say:
“Dan has been my personal trainer for the last 8 years. I now see Dan for 3 hours every week. The sessions are hard work, but they are also very enjoyable and varied. I am much fitter and stronger now. As a lawyer, most of my working day is spent at a desk, but as a result of seeing Dan regularly I no longer get back aches, I am generally more flexible. Finally, I very much value the fact that the sessions are 1:1 and that there is no one else in the gym at the same time.”
What This Means for You
If you’re stuck behind a desk all day and feeling the effects — tightness, aches, low energy — it doesn’t have to stay that way.
With the right support and a programme tailored to you, it’s possible to feel stronger, move better, and actually enjoy the process.
