Daniel Clark Coaching

Sun is shining, summers approaching fast… I’m opening up coaching slots! If you want to feel better about yourself by summer, drop me a DM!

I have 10 years experience helping people improve physiques, longevity, well-being and mindset 💪

𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓! 🥳

Do I look like this now? Absolutely not, well over-indulged (The Past 18 Months!)

I realise I’m not absolutely shredded to the bone here but it’s an attainable physique I’d like to get somewhere near back to by summer!

Feeling positive about 2022, I’m certain this is the year we finally get back to routine and some gym-related normality and consistency.

If you feel the same, drop me a message & let’s do this together 🥳

I’m making it my sole purpose to help as many people get back to their pre-COVID physiques this year.

What good is a perfect programme if the client doesn’t follow it?
Answer: Complete Rubbish

These days the market is flooded with coaches who can put together a plan which works, that’s clear. In my opinion, what is vital to distinguish yourself as a great coach rather than an average one is having the ability to keep clients adhering to a programme across the mid-long term.

I spend however long it takes at the beginning of a programme to understand my client inside before laying everything out, it’s essential. You wouldn’t programme a vegan client a meat only diet, obvious?

I will list a few typical things that often lead to non-adherence to a programme:
- Restrictive meal plan
- Drastic reductions in calories
- Unrealistic exercise programme expectation (Time to spend working out in a day)
- Setting unrealistic targets
- No regular contact
- Misunderstanding client psychology
- One Size fits all approach

Any of these ring close to your current programme?

Body transformation should in general be an enjoyable process & not a chore - Hit me up if you’re struggling with adherence to a programme and we can have a chat about what might be making life easier 🤘

Shoutout to Mike who has taken his physique to the next level working alongside myself.

Mike already had a good training regime and works an active job before he started working with me. We added a lot of structure on the training side, optimised his diet and started to ingrain a results-focussed mindset into him.

Drop me a DM if you feel like you’re potentially not working at the maximum efficiency on your current regime!

I hark on quite a bit about expenditure, but trust me when I say expending more calories rather than eating less will make your life easier as your progress through a programme.

Many client initially come to me as very sedentary individuals, so usually one of the first tools I’ll implement with them is a step target to increase their daily calories burnt.

How Does This Help?
- Client can eat more food than they would be able to if they were inactive & still lose comparable weight.
- Easy to increase step target alongside other tools as we go through a programme; Measureable and Linear to Progress.
- Build a routine around getting in steps.
- Cardiovascular & Joint benefits.
- Promotes healthier/more active lifestyle choices; Stairs over the elevator effect.

Increased expenditure can be especially useful in lighter individuals/women who have a lower propensity to burn calories naturally throughout the day. All to often people tell me their old PT had them eating 500 calories a day which is just unsustainable. By imposing a step target you will not have to drop to sub-zero calorie conditions to keep making good progress.

Made a number of big strides forward this week. I’ve now got the systems in place to deliver the best Dan Clark online coaching service ever, I’ve got my vision for what I want to do with my new & existing clients and I’m implementing steps that will produce growth daily.

The next few months I’ll be focussing on personal, business & mindset growth as I look to improve my own life and the lives of others.

Ask yourself, Are you the Green Mindset or Red Mindset?

Am I even an online coach if I don’t have a calorie deficit explanation on my page?

I’ll keep it short & sweet….

Calories are a unit of measurement for energy, your body needs X amount of energy during any given day depending on your physiological factors & activity level.

When we eat more calories than we burn, our body needs somewhere to store the excess energy you’ve given it, fat is a storage unit for this energy, subsequently, we gain fat when we consume more calories (Energy) than we burn.

The flip side is a caloric deficit eating less calories (Energy) than our body needs to maintain its weight throughout the day. The body is not getting the energy units it needs to fuel it’s activity so it uses the storage units that it has access to. The main storage unit being fat, but can also be muscle and organ cells.

Therefore, when we are looking to decrease our fat, we are looking to be in a consistent calorie deficit over an extended period of time.

Any further questions? Drop me a line!

Going forward I will be coining this phrase as the motto for the page…

Still in this day and age, many people are overlooking the numerous benefits that exercise has on your state of mind.

Most people I speak to these days can tell me that exercising stimulates a release of endorphins into the brain, but what about the unappreciated benefits of getting into shape & exercising?

- No more anxiety about going on holiday and wearing a swimsuit.
- Additional energy throughout the day.
- Giving yourself purpose & having short, medium & long term goals that you’re working towards.
- Less sweaty from walking about in the sun.
- Reduced anxiety around getting on a dating app or even going on a date.
- Improved sleep length & quality.

The list is endless, consider the small W’s 🙌
