Dan The Coach — Personal Trainer Sligo | Triathlon & Strength Coaching

The Philosophy

Two worlds. One athlete.

Most endurance plans quietly write off your physique. Most physique plans quietly write off your engine. I coach the overlap — because that's where I live too.

Endurance

Structured swim, bike and run programming built around real sport-science principles — not a generic plan copied from a triathlon forum.

Aesthetic

Hypertrophy-aware strength work that survives marathon and triathlon blocks instead of getting cut the moment volume goes up.

Nutrition

Fuelling for performance and for the way you look — backed by an actual degree, not an influencer meal plan.

Fun, mostly

In Their Words

What clients are saying

”

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for me. Your guidance, motivation, and expertise have made such a huge impact — not just on my fitness, but on my confidence and performance as well. I've never felt better, both in how I look and how I play on the field, and I owe so much of that to you. Your workouts pushed me to levels I didn't think I could reach, and your support kept me going even when it got tough.

Training with Daniel has completely changed my gym experience. I've gained strength, built confidence, and learned how to train effectively. He made the gym feel approachable and helped me push past limits I didn't think I could. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to build strength, confidence, and a healthy relationship with fitness.

I have benefited greatly from your input over the past 4 sessions, and feel much more confident in using the gym equipment. Thanks for your help in getting me going.

Daniel is a fantastic trainer, and an absolutely great help for me beginning my exercise in the gym. Dependable and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

I just finished up 3 months of sessions with Daniel, and I cannot recommend him enough. I played sport all my life, but as I got older I started slowing down, so I decided to keep myself fit. Straight away I noticed the difference — we met twice a week, and every session was different. Daniel explained every exercise thoroughly, helped build my confidence, and knows his stuff about every piece of equipment. He also supplies a meal plan to follow.

Daniel is an excellent personal trainer and a great motivator and support! I am a beginner in the gym and his sessions are focussed to your needs and he encourages you all the way. I definitely feel I've improved strength and fitness with his program and would definitely recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a personal trainer.
