Coaching experience  

 Dan has been working, learning and moving up the health & fitness and coaching industry since 1994. His love and talent for teaching others developed quickly and he was soon appointed as the Head Tennis Coach and Head Lacrosse Coach for both Kent University and Kings School in Canterbury. Also during this time, Dan spent two seasons as a specialist coach at Kutshers, voted the best live-in Elite Sports Academy in North America.

Whilst living in the Gold Coast, Australia (2001) he made the transition from coaching sports into coaching fitness and began his formal studies into psychology, bio-mechanics, physiology, exercise science, and nutrition. His career in fitness began by being a Personal Trainer to professional Australian sportsmen (primarily Triathletes and Tennis players).

After Australia, Dan worked as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at an American Football Training facility in New York state. 
On his return to the UK he worked for three years as a resident Sports & Exercise Specialist Trainer at LA Fitness health clubs, where he was also in charge of training the in-house fitness staff.

In 2005 Dan left his affiliation with LA Fitness and set up 'Dan Roberts Training' and has since spent a considerable amount of his time working with and personally training many different clients, including professional or full time athletes from such disciplines as Sprinting, Golf, Tennis, MMA, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Wake-boarding, Skiing, Lacrosse, Surfing, Rock Climbing, Sailing, Triathalon, Boxing and Ballet

In additional to his fitness experience, Dan has several psychologically based qualifications and hundreds of one to one coaching hours experience in Stress Reduction, NLP and Performance Life Coaching (with Professional athletes being among his clients.) He is therefore in a rare position of being an expert in physical conditioning that can also assist in psychological conditioning. Both are essential to sporting success.
