Social proof
Real reviews from swimmers and athletes who've trained with Dan — first-timers to seasoned competitors — on strength, technique, and confidence in the water.
"Dan coached me remotely for an endurance swim event (10K open-water swim). I hadn't swam seriously since high school, and Dan put together a challenging program that allowed me to swim the event well. Dan has extensive coaching expertise and education, and I'll be continuing to have him coach me in the future."
Tom Bell, PhDTriple Crown Channel Swimmer, and Pennsylvania Swimming Hall of Famer
"Dan has helped me discover new ways to diet and train using unconventional methods over the last 10 years. The workout routines he writes for me are easy to follow, and execute, plus I always see immediate results. He's been a very positive influence on my life when it comes to helping me live a healthy lifestyle. I would recommend his services to anyone that wants to get into shape fast!"
Daniel IstvanRunner
"Dan stoked the fire in me to become strong. As an "Extreme" athlete, it is imperative that I be in top physical health when engaging in any of my top three sports. As a surfer, licensed skydiver and snowboarder for over 16 years, I have never performed better and stronger than when well prepared physically with Dan. In sports where it is inevitable that you will get hurt, it's nice to know that your body is as strong as it can be."
Justin HollanderSurfer, Vasa Athlete
"As someone who has a chronic disease, for almost two decades now, I can say first hand that my reliance on the medical profession has decreased dramatically in the past several years, since training with Dan. Like Jeremy Lin's transformation, it may not have happened overnight, but Dan's persistence in making me think about how to best fit diet and exercise into my life has been transformational. I am fortunate not to have any severe flares since we have been together, and part of that may be just good luck, but I firmly believe that a good part of that is due to his influence on my overall health."
