Hi, I’m Dan O’Neill.

I’m Australian born & bred now UK-based health & Strength coach. I’ve have been an aspiring athlete all my life, including rugby at a semi-professional level, while simultaneously studying for my Sports Science degree at Australia Catholic University. Retirement came early, & with a very heavy heart, I had to refocus my career with fresh goals.

Given my passion for competition, I was hungry to fill the void including 2 x 100km Ultramarathons through the testing Blue Mountains & further pursuing strength sports, in 2014-16, competing in both Powerlifting & Strong Man competition’s where I finished with a 6th place in Australia’s strongest man in my weight category.

My experience has taught me the discipline, diligence & expertise required to be ‘top of your game’ providing me with knowledge & insights to coach clients to success. I have since travelled the world as a strength and conditioning coach with top teams such as Manly Eagles Rugby National League Football Club, Florida Gators Men’s Basketball Team, Millwall U18’s Football Club & most recently the Chinese Olympic National Rowing team.

Getting the most from clients is far from pushing their absolute limits. It’s a balance of bespoke training, nutrition, lifestyle and a higher sense of self-awareness. These components have to come together in synergy. I witnessed many clients missing this ‘education in balance’ consequently suffering injuries, fatigue, stress & hormonal imbalance (to name a few) as they tried to manage work, home & social pressures while training into the ground. It’s my job to help clients fulfil their maximum training potential by working on their lifestyle & nutrition creating the perfect synergy. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition provides me with the tools to help clients manage their mind & body stress loads with smart training and nutritional/lifestyle programming.

Since 2017 I have coached in London’s top gyms with professional athletes and aspiring clients. I’ve now moved to Cheltenham as an online health & strength specialist. I work with motivated clients, both male and female, who are dedicated to reaching their full potential & actualising their goals, whatever they may be.
