SUCCESS STORY
Daniel Blissett, JD gyms in Leeds
The part that I enjoyed the most was the interaction with both my tutor as well as other learners during the practical workshop. I really valued the constant support offered by the tutor and looked forward to the contact days.
Everything I learnt was important, but I personally found the advanced training systems such as cluster sets, GVT, drop sets and supersets all helped me understand my own training better, as well as how to help others with these advanced techniques.
“I’m currently working at JD gyms in Leeds. I’m really enjoying it, it’s been a crazy first year due to COVID and gym closures, but I’m picking up clients, within lockdown doing outdoor training so I had to learn to adapt quickly! I also do 3-4 classes a week including spin, burn class, and LBT sessions. At DSG, I learnt to have more confidence and gained even more knowledge, building experience of what it’s like working in a gym as well as being resilient and open to change. I now have much more confidence in knowing how to train people and what to tell clients to help them towards their goals.”
