Dan Cooke

Dan, a vibrant fitness trainer based in the heart of London, brings a unique blend of dance expertise and upbeat motivation to his classes. With a Level 6 Diploma in Dance and a current pursuit of a Level 2 Gym Instructor certification, Dan specializes in dance, barre, and choreographed fitness, infusing his sessions with energy and creativity.

His training philosophy, summed up in the mantra "Love the burn," reflects his commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing the intensity of a good workout. In life, Dan lives by the mantra "Work hard, play hard, work even harder," embodying a strong work ethic and a passion for a balanced lifestyle.

Dan's fitness journey began when a torn meniscus during a show led him to explore a career in fitness. Needing a way to make ends meet during his recovery, he transitioned into becoming a fitness instructor at a boutique gym in London. Inspired by his Grandpa's resilience and Batman's heroics, Dan views fitness as a way to overcome challenges and stay active.

As a positive and upbeat trainer, Dan aims to create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere in his classes, becoming a beacon of light in early morning workouts. His signature sayings like "Love the burn, the burn is your friend... let's call him Bernie" and "keep breathing, keep smiling" showcase his playful yet encouraging style.

In his 1st person bio, Dan shares his extensive dance background, including training at the Royal Ballet School and his performances in London's West End, national tours, and TV and film. His infectious energy, honed through years in the performing arts industry, shines through as he motivates clients to sweat and enjoy every moment of their fitness journey.

Dan's passion extends beyond the studio to dance, property (building a portfolio), food, and fashion. With a rare combination of ginger hair and blue eyes, he humorously refers to himself as a rare Pokemon. His self-care routine involves balancing hard work with fun, and he invites anyone in London to reach out for a real-life meet-up.

A true entertainer and motivator, Dan's fitness classes are not just workouts; they are experiences filled with positivity, laughter, and the joy of movement.
