Dan Ferrelly
Personal TrainerI help people build capacity for life.
Our capacity is determined by three key areas: physical, cognitive, and emotional health — these foundations shape how we experience life and interact with the world.
When life’s demands exceed our capacity we suffer.
You feel like you have a ‘problem’ to fix:
Pain. Fat. Weakness. Stress. Posture.
But nothing exists in isolation. Understand that these are symptoms.
With my approach these symptoms are captured within a broader system that addresses your capacity, they don’t become the organising principle for your plan. I seek to solve problems without creating others.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes or isolated goals, I work to develop balanced, long-term capability across the key domains.
Thriving isn’t quelling one symptom or even excelling in one area — it’s about building broad capacity that empowers you to accept the full weight of the life you want.
I use a combination of:
Breathwork and meditation
Resistance training
Movement practice and mobility work
Cardiovascular training
Boxing
No fads, no extremes. I’ll tailor a plan to meet you where you are, and guide you beyond it.
If some of these tools are new to you, that’s absolutely fine. Sessions are designed to stimulate progress - not overwhelm. The process will be engaging and enjoyable.
Our Philosophy
We believe exercise is one of the most important foundations of long-term health and wellbeing.
Strength training, mobility and functional movement together create a body that is resilient, capable and able to move freely through everyday life.
Our goal is not simply short-term results, but to help clients develop sustainable habits that support lifelong health.
Collaboration with Health Professionals
Cobbled Yard PT works closely with local osteopaths and physiotherapists to support clients recovering from injury.
Clients are often referred through these partnerships, allowing rehabilitation programmes to continue safely through guided strength training and movement work.
This collaborative approach ensures clients receive well-rounded support for both recovery and long-term physical health.
