I trained with Dirk for over 12 months and I managed to get into the best condition of my life. As an over 50 years old trainee Dirk taught me that it’s not about the amount of weight you lift but how you lift it. Getting a fuller range of motion and making the muscles work for every rep. If you are looking to get into great shape, Dirk is the man for the job.

I learnt more in 2 weeks being coached by Dirk, then I did in 8 years doing it on my own.
The intelligence and experience Dirk has, puts the 100’s of Youtube videos and the several online training programs I’ve tried before, to shame. Every week that goes by that you hesitate and ponder about training with him, is another week further away from your goals. If he is available, take the opportunity, you’ll be 1000x happier for it! :)
Character wise, he is an absolute Gentleman and is also really patient - however he also knows when to push you to hit your goals and is realistic and spot on with timelines. If you Trust Dirk, trust the process and give your body time, then you will 100% hit your goals!

I met Dirk who instantly put me at ease.
I told him about my arthritis he devised a plan totally around my goals.
He gave me a nutrition plan that allowed great flexibility.
Top class highly recommend 👏

Hi all, with dirk moving onto new adventures, wanted to give some gratitude to him due to the effort he has put in and progress he helped me get along my journey. I joined a coaching plan with him in February 2023 with decent knowledge of gym but poor diet. I was sitting at a 70kg body weight since his help I was able to get to 90kg with his well detailed training plans and diets which was all adaptable to my life style and work due to working away, he made it simple and easy to follow with little stress involved, constantly checking up on me with diet ideas and when we could have a hardcore session adapting it all to my physicality and physical look on what muscle groups needs to be balanced out and improved, constantly adapting the plans to my needs, even when his own plans and prep is happening the effort doesnt change and even since having to stop due to increase work commitments he still keeps in contact to see how I am doing, I couldn’t recommend him enough, with his knowledge in gym, attitude to life and experience within the gym, there’s no one else better to get to coach you!
