I started training with a personal trainer at university, however the sessions became very expensive and repetitive due to the amount of sessions I needed to do per week. My program supplied by D.N.A S&C provided me with a flexible and effective plan at a much more cost effective rate.

Since I’ve been on my program I have achieved results I didn’t think were possible and my coach guided me every step of the way, making the whole process easy to understand  which made the sessions more enjoyable and effective.

D.N.A Strength & Conditioning helped me feel comfortable and provided support when I first started out at the gym. The guys instilled a confidence which allowed me to progress and improve whilst at the gym. Their programs have helped me massively in regards to football too, as I am a lot stronger/quicker and bigger than I used to be which allows me to help dominate the midfield.

As well as this, they create a program that's adjusted to your needs and what you want which is a massive factor and a reason why the guys will help you do so well. Their input – whether writing programs, teaching new skills or providing nutritional knowledge –cannot be faulted, and they are always there when you need them to be. The difference I feel in myself and my appearance now is massive in comparison to when I first started.

After an initial consultation with DNA in which we discussed my requirements and goals I began with a 3 days a week, 4 week program. This has progressed each cycle and is now a 4 days a week, 4 week program.

At the beginning of each new program the new sections are all explained and demonstrated so I have full confidence in executing everything correctly myself. At the end of each program I can see results and get excited to go again. We then discuss how I wish to progress and my new program is designed for me.

I used my training last year as preparation for Tough Mudder, and it gave me the stamina and strength for the course I completed.

I am on my 6th program and feel I have far exceeded my original expectations, but am now pushing myself for more!!

Each program is fresh, exciting and makes me push myself. I love it... exercise is now my guilty pleasure... Shhhhhhhhhh...

After putting on a little bit of weight at university, I decided to undertake an online coaching package with D.N.A. I’ve had a personal trainer in the past and I can safely say that the results I’ve had with my online coaching have been incomparable. The support and guidance has always been very good and I’d highly recommend anyone to choose the coaches at D.N.A S&C. I’ve made some really strong steps towards my goals and I feel more confident to workout and train hard.

I started training with D.N.A having only ever taken part in group classes in the gym, and I had noticed that I wasn’t getting the results that I wanted. I spoke to the coaches at D.N.A and they suggested including some resistance training in my regime and the results have been fantastic. At first I was apprehensive, but my coach made sure that I focussed on posture and technique and I quickly saw results. I started to get progressively stronger and my body shape change gave me a much more positive view on my body.

My coach took the time to educate me as to why I was doing different things with each training phase and this helped me really commit and get the results I wanted. Now training has become a key part of my weekly routine and is a great stress reliever from work  it's addictive. I would highly recommend the coaches at D.N.A for anyone from novice lifters to experienced athletes.

When I first started training with D.N.A S&C, I had just started university and only had one season playing rugby for fitness reasons at a very amateur level. Since then, they have been providing me with rugby specific exercise training, that has helped me immensely in my performances. The programs helped me go from playing rugby as a hobby, to playing National 2 rugby standard and also secure my place with England Deaf Rugby Union as a starting hooker. The sessions were accurate to improve the physical attributes required for me to successfully play in my position. They were also very enjoyable, and as the programs changed every 4 weeks, they were never boring, as I had something new to look forward to in the gym every month! Not only that, they implemented progressions weekly to reach my maximal potential safely and effectively and in quick time. This meant that no session was ever the same. As a person who gets bored easily, this was perfect for me.

I highly recommend D.N.A Strength & Conditioning for any goal you may wish to achieve as I have discovered the coaches have a wide range of knowledge in personal training/strength and conditioning industry, and I have every confidence that, with their expertise, you will exceed your expectations and targets.

After speaking to D.N.A Strength & Conditioning, they went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable in each exercise, with each machine and with all the terminology.

Considering I'm half way through my plan I'm extremely happy with the results so far, and eagerly anticipating what is to come. Physical improvements are obviously quite satisfying to see but an attribute I have is frequently getting a sore back. DNA understood my situation and implemented several exercises that have, as of now, completely removed my pains. This is an area I needed to improve on and the improved back strength I now have has made my life easier as a result.

The plan that was made for me is easily adaptable, allowing for changes in timing, exercises and weight whilst still ensuring I get the absolute most from my time in the gym. The great thing is that if I ever need something, I only need to email them and they are always happy to help.

I have just completed my first program with these guys (6 week strength hypertrophy). I found that having a program to stick to provided a good consistency, with new goals to target each week. I knew exactly what I was there to do when I entered the gym. The training sessions were always intense and pushed me every single time, meaning that proper recovery was essential. The final week of volume proved to be a massive shock to the system, as expected after my body had acclimatised to lifting heavy. I would recommend the program to anyone looking to see great results and willing to put in the work.

I would recommend this program to anyone. I really wanted to improve on my strength and this program made me so much stronger. All of my compound lifts increased by loads by the end of the programme. Now going back into football and starting pre-season I feel so much stronger and more powerful. I'm so happy with the gains I made and I can't wait to get started on another one of the programs. It really pushed me and I had to make sure I was eating properly and sleeping well ready to go again the next day – loved every minute of it!!!

I feel that my coach has been a great support and I do feel a great change in my body from their training programs.

I was really impressed with the effort my coach at D.N.A S&C went through to design a very well-produced personal training program for me. I understood straightaway and adapted to the training easily.

I have always appreciated the useful advice and support from them. They responded in a timely manner and have always been very helpful.

I had doubts about having an online coach at first, but having switched to one I have actually achieved better results and gained them sooner.

I have been really impressed by the results I have achieved from one of D.N.A S&C’s tailored online training programs. I have previously had a personal trainer which I could no longer afford. I had doubts about having an online coach at first, but having switched to one I have actually achieved better results and gained them sooner. I feel much more confident about myself. They are a great coaching team and their service is excellent.

The program was designed specifically to how I wanted it, and to work around what I already do. This allowed me to achieve exactly what I wanted to.

I have worked with one of D.N.A Strength and Conditioning coaches for 2 months now on 2 different programmes which have been extremely beneficial to me and my training. The program was designed specifically to how I wanted it, and to work around what I already do. This allowed me to achieve exactly what I wanted to. The programme was adapted in a way that would help me optimise my development without disrupting my football. Over the two months I have built up good strength and can see physical results. I look forward to continuing my training with them.
