Your Journey to Stronger, Pain Free Movement Starts Here
At DW Health and Wellness, we empower you to train smart, overcome injury, and build confidence all in a supportive community in Aylesbeare, Devon.
OUR FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Danny,
Five years ago, I started DW with one goal in mind: To help people train for their body, not against it.
After going through years of injury and rehab myself, I knew how frustrating it was to feel stuck — like the gym wasn’t made for you, like progress was out of reach. That’s why DW was never meant to be “just a gym.”
It’s a space where training is made simple, supportive, and actually enjoyable - even if you’re injured, lacking confidence, or unsure where to start.
Over the years, we’ve grown, evolved, and worked with hundreds of people who never thought the gym could be for them. Our mission is the same today as it was on day one:
→ Help you get real results, even if you’re battling injury or pain
→ Make training enjoyable again — in a space that feels safe and welcoming
→ Take away the guesswork, so you can feel stronger, move better, and build confidence that lasts
OPERATIONS MANAGER
Hi, I’m Sam,
I manage the day-to-day operations at DW and support our clients with their nutrition.
I’ve got a degree in Sport & Fitness Management and have managed various gyms and health clubs since leaving university.
My passion for nutrition led me to complete a Level 4 qualification, and I love helping people build a realistic, sustainable strategy around food that actually works for them.
I’ve always been active — from playing rugby and hockey to keeping up my own training — and I genuinely enjoy staying fit and strong.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mum and spend my spare time training dogs, one of my favourite hobbies.
I believe fitness should be fun, achievable, and empowering — and I’m here to help you build confidence and strength, both in and out of the gym.
Train For Life, Not Just For Looks
We believe training should support your lifestyle, not punish your body. Our approach is built around helping you move better, feel stronger, and live with confidence — whatever stage you’re at.
Injury Isn’t the End — It’s the Start
Pain, injury, or mobility issues shouldn’t stop you from training. We specialise in adapting workouts so you can keep progressing — even through setbacks.
People First, Always
We don’t just see members - we see individuals. Our team genuinely cares about every client’s progress and wellbeing. You’re not just a number in a system. You’re a valued part of the community.
Ego Free, Support First Training
DW is a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are. No cliques, no comparison — just a supportive atmosphere and expert coaching tailored to you.
We Remove the Guesswork
No fluff, no fads. Just evidence-based training, expert support, and a clear plan. You’ll know exactly what to do, why you’re doing it, and how it helps you move forward.
SUCCESS COACH
Hi, I'm Helen,
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training, but my real journey began five years ago when I started training with Danny.
Although I’d always been interested in health and fitness, it wasn’t until then that I truly believed I could stick to regular training and make it part of my lifestyle.
Since then, the impact on both my mental and physical health has been life-changing — and it’s even led me into a new career as a personal trainer.
I love working with clients to build confidence, improve technique, and smash through goals they once thought were out of reach. There’s nothing better than watching someone surprise themselves with what they’re capable of.
Whether you’re brand new to the gym, returning after time off, or already confident and ready to push to that next level - I’m here to support and challenge you every step of the way.
Let’s build strength, break barriers, and enjoy the process.
SUCCESS COACH
Hi, I’m Kate,
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training.
Although I’d always been interested in health and fitness, it wasn’t until I started training with Danny five years ago that I truly believed I could stick to regular training. The results were life-changing - both mentally and physically and ultimately led me to a new career as a personal trainer.
I love working with clients to build confidence, improve technique, and achieve results they once thought were out of reach. There’s no better feeling than watching someone surprise themselves with what they’re capable of.
Whether you’re completely new to the gym, coming back after a break, or already confident and ready to level up - I’m here to help you progress with purpose.
Whatever your goals or motivation, I’ll be right there to support you every step of the way.
SUCCESS COACH
Hi, I’m Philippa,
At 53, I’ve recently qualified as a personal trainer - proof that it’s never too late to follow your passion!
After seven years of training with the incredible Danny at DW Health and Wellness, I completely fell in love with both spin and strength training. His energy and encouragement inspired me to take the leap and become a coach myself - so I could help others experience the same incredible benefits I’ve gained: improved strength, confidence, and overall well-being.
I especially love working with people over 40 - helping them rediscover their strength, boost their self-esteem, and carve out time for themselves in their busy lives.
There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone lift a weight they never thought they could, or power through a spin class with a new level of energy.
Whether you’re brand new to exercise or looking to break through a plateau, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Let’s get strong, sweat a little and have fun doing it!
Let’s get started! Schedule a call with our expert coaching team today and reserve your spot in the upcoming intake.
