BodyByDan

I’ve been with Dan for 10 years from ages 23 – 33 and he is an expert. Being an ex marine, he was drive, being a long term fitness professional, he was deep knowledge of posture, technique, and different routines, and being a friend, he knows how to mold a plan to each individual person’s ability and goals. I highly recommend BodybyDan and Evolution gym.

I’ve struggled with my weight for the past 5 years and since working with dan I have lost over 50 lbs in only about 3 months I’ve been feeling great and looking better and I owe it to dan he put me on a great diet and workout schedule I strongly recommend him if anyone needs a trainer

Dan helps you reach your next level. It doesn’t matter what level you’re starting at, he gets you to the next one (and the next one, and the next one, etc.) Dan pushes you incredibly hard, to the point where if he wasn’t the most optimistic person ever, I’m
pretty sure you could almost hate him for it.
Work outs never felt redundant or like he was just falling back on «default exercises». He knows his stuff. He’s constantly teaching you new techniques and motivating you to push yourself. He helps you understand where your body is at, where it could be, and maps out a clear pathway to get there.
I recommend Dan with no reservations.

There aren’t enough words to describe how lucky I am to have Dan in my life! I have been training with Dan for almost two years, starting back in 2010 when I had a little over two months to get in shape before my wedding. Dan kicked my butt into shape with tough workouts tailored specifically to my fitness needs, expert nutritional advice, and all-​around motivation and support to help me achieve my goals. Needless to say, I met them and never felt better in my life. Since then, Dan has helped me stay in shape and has helped motivate me when I’ve temporarily fallen off the wagon. For someone who has abhorred going to the gym for the bulk of my adult life, I find that I look forward to hitting the gym with Dan, even when I know the session will be a butt-​kicker!
Dan will keep you on your toes during your workout and you never know when he will whip out a new kind of lunge or new-​fangled exercise like the TRX bands to challenge you! He’ll push you to your limit, and you’ll keep coming back for more, in part because he’s just so much fun to train with. Dan goes the extra mile — he comes to my apartment building and trains me in my own gym! — and he truly cares about each and every one of his clients. Most importantly, for me at least, Dan has a special knack for giving you that extra motivational push right when you feel like you can’t lift another pound or do another lunge!

I have known Dan for well over a decade, and he’s been my trainer on and off for most of that time. More’s the pity that we aren’t working together these days, because I never made the progress on my weight loss and conditioning that I did when I was working with him at Definitions in Georgetown. Dan is bright, funny, intuitive, easy on the eyes, knowledgeable, down-​to-​earth (oh, and did I mention easy on the eyes? I did? Sorry, Mark! LOL!) Very few trainers I’ve worked with will have you laughing as they’re kicking your ass. I can only qualify Dan’s workouts as a form of «enjoyable agony». You’ll be cursing him out before, during and definitely after… but when you fit back into your skinny jeans in eight weeks or less, you’ll want to give him a big hug.
Okay, so since we’re friends, I’m extra biased. But I am not kidding. Give him a shot and you won’t want to go to anyone else, I promise you. Were it not for my finances not being up to snuff right now, I would hire him again in a heartbeat. So if you can, don’t spend too much time over-​thinking it. DO IT. He’s only gotten more in demand over time, and it will get more difficult to schedule with him if you don’t move yer butt NOW.

I bet you didn’t know that your abs are comprised of approximately 1,398 muscles. However, if you had Dan White as your personal trainer, you would know that because every single one of them would ache.
And, after all, isn’t that why you get a personal trainer? Because when I go to the gym by myself, I get a decent workout. I bop along to my iPod and I raise my heart rate a little and I do some crunches and then after a few weeks I think, «No, but SERIOUSLY, where is my six pack?» And then maybe I up my crunches for, like, a day.
This, as you may have guessed, is not the way to a six pack.
Now, I still don’t have a six-​pack (yet) but! but! after a few weeks with Dan, I am closer than I have ever been. I did not know that I was capable of working as hard as I do now, except in middle school basketball, but that was miserable and should not be discussed. So, actually, that’s not true; I knew I was capable, but I wasn’t doing it, enjoying it, nor would I ever do it without someone holding me accountable. Now every week I am pushed beyond my ho-​hum workout with an hour of serious strength training with exercises I’ve either never done, done with lower weights, or have done incorrectly. Having someone with such a sharp eye for form and an enormous arsenal of new (and, yes, exciting) exercises has improved my strength, form, posture, and confidence. I can’t slack with Dan (because, as he warned me on the first day, he knows when you haven’t done your homework. Tell me that doesn’t strike fear into your inner 6^th-​grader.) He even fine-​tuned a workout at my gym for me to do throughout the week. Like I said, no excuse not to do your homework.
But more than that, working out with Dan is fun. I mean, my quads are on fire and my triceps ache and I can’t believe he wants me to do THREE SETS because, really? THREE? but even as your quads are burning and your triceps are aching, you are getting fitter, stronger, and better-​looking. Your endorphins are happy. Your core is happy. What’s more, Dan’s positive outlook and steadfast encouragment are inspiring by themselves, even without the endorphin high.
In short, if you’re in the market for a trainer, give Dan a call.

Body By Dan is actually Dan White, a high-​energy, accomplished personal trainer. I’ve been a client of Dan’s for more than 3 years now, and I have Dan to thank for being a healthy 40-​something woman in good shape. Thanks Dan!
Dan is an exceptionally nice guy, but he will kick your butt. That’s what I pay him for (I’m congenitally unable to kick my own butt). When he’s not killing me, though, he is friendly, funny, and a joy to spend time with. I consider him a friend as well as my trainer.
