Covid 19 update – Online Training
Although we are based in Berkshire we have also been providing online one on one or private group personal training since March. With a stable internet connection, this is very close to training in person and remains available for the vulnerable or those who might prefer it. However, we have also returned to training in person – in the home, outdoors, or in the garden with proper social distancing. Read more about online training here.
Private training at home
With DDW there is no gym membership needed or hidden joining fees – you only pay for time with your trainer. This eliminates the time spent getting to and from the gym and gives complete privacy to focus solely on exercise.
Over a decade’s experience of training in the home environment means we can work out with you in almost any space in your home no matter how small. Even a few stairs can be a challenge if approached in the right way. A kitchen, office, deck, or paving areas can provide enough space for our inventive trainers.
Clever strategies to sort out your eating
After 16 years of making people fit and slim, we know that eating change has to be incremental, realistic and allow for indulgence. Some of the techniques and advice we use are: planning meals out; including regular but smart treats; using smart technology to track calories; help with food cravings; teaching why some foods make us hungrier or more likely to gain fat; understanding human energy systems and the role of insulin. Together we figure out which combination works for you to reach your goals.
An all-round realistic training approach
We make step by step tweaks to your eating, life balance, mind, and levels of activity. Small changes in different connected areas lead to lasting fitness and weight loss. We understand there are some things you can’t change. You might have to work late, be busy with family, or in situations where wise eating choices are difficult. We work around these challenges to change what you can alter, so you succeed regardless.

More than “turn up – train – leave”
Unlike some gym based training where you turn up, train, and then leave, exercise outside of your sessions is made achievable. Time-efficient homework routines that fit into your schedule are included in all block bookings of 6 or more sessions. Clients also receive out of hours support via text and email plus homework articles for you to study. Home training also gives us a unique insight into your lifestyle; helping us to identify any changes needed to create a better balance.

Child friendly sessions – pets too!
Our home personal training in Maidenhead means no need for childminding or pet sitting. We’ve done workouts with babies in prams, dogs chewing balls, cats on sofas, and even occasionally workouts including bored teenagers on school holidays.

Highly qualified trainers and all equipment provided
Our small team are all highly qualified personal trainers up to REPS level 3 (advanced) or equivalent. We bring a portable, versatile and modern kit for our training sessions. Everything you need to gain strength, get fitter, and get lean. We use free weights, barbells, Bosu balls, battle ropes, TRX training, Swiss balls, boxing gloves and more in the sessions. Above all our love of health and fitness comes across in every session.
Lighter and fitter than his peers by far
"While my friends are struggling to keep up and be active I'm fitter than I was at 30 and certainly healthier and much lighter. You might think you can do it on your own but unless you're really disciplined you'll do so much better with a PT".
Roger lived a typical modern lifestyle. Successful at work but under constant pressure with little time for himself, lots of eating out, and networking. Small, smart changes to drinking and eating coupled with strength training and short but effective cardio means he’s fit, strong, lighter and ready to handle anything life can throw at him.Why fads and gimmicks don't work long term
Crash diets and fads can make us lose weight quickly, but inevitabaly fail. If they worked then the nation would be slim, right? Loss of muscle mass, hormonal imbalance and unsustainable hunger levels make success largely impossible.
By allowing for treats and blowouts but eating sensibly when things are settled we find sustainable pathways to long term health and fitness. We teach clients the importance of strength training for increased metabolism, weight loss and longevity. Emphasis is also placed on mental health, balance, time for yourself and how to manage stress.Professional help for the best possible chance of success
The human psyche and body are very complex. Yet people generally believe thay can fix weight and fitness on their own. Prefessional coaching with both exercise, nutrition and lifestyle change vastly increases your chances of success.
All block bookings of 6 or more PT sessions include a detailed look at your eating, help to start exercise outside of the sessions and how to get a better balance. Most of all it’s a personal coach to show you the most effective and efficient ways to get fit, lose weight and improve your health and longevity.
