Coaching
Danny James has over 15 years of coaching experience ranging from Olympians and national champions in multiple sports to office workers.
Danny champions simplicity, strategy, and live problem-solving. He has a keen eye for scaling movement and follows a principles-based and integrated model of training. This stems from his ongoing interest and study of human movement, and broad experience coaching a diverse group of people throughout his career. His former head role in post-rehabilitation fitness and sports performance also played a part.
Danny believes in empowering athletes and clients to manage themselves and playing a supportive role in the process.

I did want to provide you some feedback about your emails. They are just splendid! I particularly enjoyed the content on the foam roller with cocaine hidden inside, so much so that I shared it with work colleagues. Lol.
