Except you.
Not this time.
Welcome to StAPT!
START YOUR JOURNEY
You’re not going to quit, not this time.
This is where you decide to prioritise your health and go for your fitness goals with everything you’ve got. In the past you may have signed up to a gym and stopped going, or you avoided going entirely as the thought of training in front of others was overwhelming. Your motivation comes and goes, and exercise has been sporadic.
But we will help you change that…
That change starts here and this is the beginning of your new health and fitness journey. We get it. You may feel anxious about starting a new fitness routine, or unsure how to achieve your goals. This is where we come in. We’ll build your confidence and give you our expert 1:1 personal training, nutrition, and fitness advice. We’ll be there every step of the way to keep you on track towards achieving your health and fitness goals.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, an athletic fitness fanatic, or needing to rehab muscular pain so you can do more of the activities you love, we’ll create a training programme that starts with where you’re at today and ends with you becoming the person you want to be!
Health is a priority. Not an afterthought.
PERSONAL 1:1 PRIVATE TRAINING
We believe health and fitness should be a priority and an important part of your day, and certainly not a luxury or an after thought.
We are a CIMPSA (The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity) registered personal trainers who provide 1:1 Personal Training at our private studio in St Albans town centre, and at Body Limit Gym in Sandridge.
Your goal is our goal, whether you’re looking to build strength, burn off body fat, improve your core strength, or rehab muscular pain so you can get back to doing the activities you love. We’ll create a unique and tailored training programme that gets you there in a set time frame, whilst tracking your progress using our free app (or a free gym diary if you don’t enjoy using apps!)
We train our clients for 1 hour sessions either once, twice, or three times a week, often as part of a set training schedule and personalised programme.

TESTIMONIALS
HOW OUR CLIENTS FEEL
I would definitely recommend Dan to others, each session is a great workout and he pushes me much more than I would push myself in the gym which is exactly what I need. 
With 9 months behind me I can see the tremendous improvement in my muscle strength and general fitness level. I can very highly recommend Dan and Team for super professional, tailored and fun PT sessions!
Dan (StAPT) is a first class personal trainer. I have been training with him for 2 years. Not only will you see results, you will learn and become more knowledgeable about fitness through Dan’s expertise.
Dan’s holistic approach suits me perfectly and I love the supportive atmosphere of the class which caters for all abilities.
I would recommend Dan to everyone and anyone who needs support whether it’s a little or a lot he will get you to that desired place.
I felt the benefit of the work I did with Dan almost immediately and after just a few sessions he equipped me with the tools and knowledge to plan my own workouts.
Dan portrays his knowledge by not only delivering fantastic sessions that keep members returning, but he shares new ideas to help people achieve their goals.
It’s helped rejuvenate my motivation for improving and maintaining my fitness and Dan’s in-depth knowledge and advice is excellent.
Dan gave me a technical session in Calisthenics. I was really impressed.
All of Dan’s workouts are well thought through, completely personalised and will get the results you asked for.
During the session, we do a whole range of different exercises which are fun to do as they are often incorporated into games and teamwork.
Dan is a great personal trainer and he would definitely be my ‘go to’ person when I decide to properly
throw myself into fitness.
Dan has plenty of knowledge and expertise, was nothing but kind throughout training, and definitely gives the VIP experience to all his clients!
By the end of the 12-week plan, I’d lost 1.5 stone and saw a great improvement in both my general fitness and resting heart rate. I also saw a person that I recognised in the mirror again and felt relieved knowing that my heart health was back to where it should be.
Training with Dan once per week over 3 months helped me stay focused on the diet goals that he set; which in turn helped me achieve 11kg in weight loss, and reenergised my focus on fitness.
Dan is the most knowledgeable PT out there. He has helped me recover from numerous injuries, build muscle and improve my mobility.
Dan is attentive, friendly, engaged and very knowledgeable, ensuring that you progress and achieve your goals whilst still paying attention to your safety and personal needs.
Dan is a dedicated and inspiring PT. He thoughtfully designs workouts to accommodate needs and requirements.
After an injury that I was struggling with for a few years and numerous physio visits with no progress, Dan knew exactly what exercises and stretches would help me build back strength.
