From a young age, Danny’s passion for football and sports was evident. This passion led him to study Sports Science in 2009, followed by a master’s degree, deepening his understanding of the human body and its capabilities.

In 2012, Danny qualified as a personal trainer, using his extensive knowledge to help the professionals of Canary Wharf lead more active, pain-free, and healthier lives. His journey in the fitness industry began in earnest in 2013 at Virgin Active Canary Wharf, where he rapidly progressed to become a Master Personal Trainer. With a fully booked schedule of 10-15 sessions per day, Danny balanced his thriving career with his love for football.

However, as he observed a decline in industry standards, Danny decided to take matters into his own hands. He founded his own personal training studios to employ and develop the best trainers, ensuring high standards and exceptional service.

Train Canary is his fourth studio, offering premium group personal training with top-tier trainers, and aims to build a like-minded, fun, and friendly fitness community in Canary Wharf. Beyond his studios, Danny is also a director of an online nutrition site and is establishing his own personal training academy to significantly enhance the quality of personal training across the UK.

Danny’s commitment to excellence and his vision for a healthier, more active community continues to drive his success and the success of those around him.
