Access Virtually UNKNOWN Secrets The Fitness Industry Never Told Me With My VIP Coaching!

Apart from aiming to achieve a certain aesthetic, I've always linked my training to specific functional goals. The physical transformation I am undergoing through TAITRAIN made me feel much more confident with myself and with my journey. I look forward to each session and see every single exercise as an opportunity to improve myself, small steps to achieve my goal. I have also seen these gains translate to getting stronger on court, as I am a big badminton fan. I'm glad that the program took into consideration my own objectives as an athlete and incorporated these into the journey.

I've noticed a big difference in my back, shoulders and chest. I think the shift towards higher rep ranges also translated to more muscle growth and not just strength. Integrating fun HIIT elements into the workout also contributed to steady fat loss throughout the program.

The program itself was a critical step as I am a creature of habit, leaning on spreadsheets and week-on-week progress in each exercise. TAITRAIN and Dan allowed customization of the existing program, which balanced my time in the gym with the specific aspects I sought to improve. The check-ins were also great for accountability and provided that personal touch which helps push us further.

The communication was more open than expected. Quick responses, weekly check-ins, and a sweat check all contributed to an positive environment of

encouragement, with both the social push and pull factors that keep you going especially during those days when it felt hard to go to the gym. Overall, the communication system set everyone up for success!

The regular communication and easy access to the coaches provided me with the confidence to go into the program fully informed and supported whenever I had doubts or questions. As mentioned, consistency is always a challenge for everyone in their fitness journey, and it was the positive environment that pushed and pulled us to maintain our focus and keep at it.

After my knee  injury in November, I had quite slow progress in the gym and lower motivation to go and exercise. Now, I was able to hit a 1-rep max of 150 kg on the squat and 175 kg on the deadlift. I can also confidently enter badminton tournaments. My back definition is also getting much better. Comparing day 1 and day 70, it's a world of difference. That's when I realized how all these small steps I took through TAITRAIN and Dan's guidance each and every day, through each week, were critical to get to where I am.

I loved the program and the coaching style. My perspective has shifted dramatically: I now feel that my physical goals are now within reach, and not some distant unachievable dream.

The results I’ve seen through my 16 weeks on the plan have had a great impact on my mental state. I have a lot more confidence and energy both in the gym and life in general after seeing some great results and getting the compliments to back them up! When I’ve worked with online coaches in the past the goal has been to strip off as much fat as possible as fast as possible. With Dan it’s been about creating sustainable change that I can maintain beyond the program. The biggest change for me has been my overall shape. Dans been able to help me target specific areas to get here, cutting down body fat in my mid section while simultaneously growing some key muscle groups around my chest, shoulders and legs.

Dans support through the last 4 months has been invaluable. On top of just being a genuinely nice guy, he’s great at building a community and generating a collaborative energy in the group chat that’s pushed us all through the process on the tough days. In the 1:1 catch ups I’ve been able to have some really open and honest chats with Dan and he hasn’t made me feel silly about anything I’ve asked. For me this has been really useful in dispelling any gym myths and making sure I’m on the right track with my training.

Communication with your coach can be a bit of a balancing act. Dan is there when you need him but also gives you the space to go off and do your own thing if you need it. Personally I have a lot going on with work commitments outside of the gym which dan understands and supports. Having a coach chase me me for daily updates would make the process more work but being able reach out with questions, share key milestones, have a joke, makes the process more enjoyable.

The biggest challenges I’ve faced with my training are that, after a few years of training, I felt like I was bored in the gym and I’d hit a plateau where I couldn’t go any further on my own. Dans been able to help me mix this up with variations of movements/ exercises and regularly amending the work outs which is something we identified early in the program. I don’t think the progress has come down to milestones, it’s more about consistency and showing up every day. The food is equally as important as the training and without following the diet I wouldn’t have seen the results I have. One thing I am proud of is the cardio. It’s no secret I’m not a runner and I’m not a massive fan of it but Dan encouraged me through it and now I’m doing 10k in under an hour!

I’ve had a great time. My fitness has come on so much since starting and the results have been incredible considering the length of time I’ve been doing the plan.

Prior to your program, I had a level of discipline for workouts but not so much for dieting. After meeting you I find myself being more strict, wanting to be in the gym longer, wanting to work on my weaknesses and being more consistent with eating clean. I’ve had more of a mental push because I know you’re there to support me and I don’t want to disappoint myself or you. I’ve been even happier when training.

My main goal is to reduce body fat followed by gaining muscle mass. Since I started this program I’ve seen the difference and the reduction of body fat. My belly fat and “love handles”  made me most insecure and thankfully those have gone down. That’s because I’m only half way through. I’m so excited to see the results at the end of the 4 months. I’ve also become more aware of technique and, with your guidance, have started improving. I’m becoming more confident in myself.

At the beginning I was a bit nervous because of the 7 hour time difference; I thought I’d be struggling. I was wrong. You’ve made effort to respond on two platforms and I really appreciate that. You are helping me more than the coach I had here in BelIze when I was going to his little box. I’ve become more disciplined, both in the gym and the kitchen.  We’ve seen results in the first couple of weeks and I think that speaks for itself. You’re making the journey to my fitness goals easy and enjoyable.

The communication has been great. The only downfall with the 7 hour time difference is having questions when I’m at the gym. This mainly happened at the beginning, if I didn’t know a movement or needed an alternative I resorted to YouTube. I rectified that by reviewing the workout before hand when I know you’re up. Aside from this, I feel you make all efforts to respond, whether WhatsApp or Instagram. You’re also easy to talk to and that helps so much.

I am a sucker for flour and iced coffee. Meal prepping came easy but denying those little treats, not so much. I had it more than I should have and that’s why my body fat slowly grew. You have helped me resist the treats. I’ve also struggled with healthy meal options and you have introduced me to some. I’ve taken a long break from alcohol realizing I don’t need it to properly have fun. This is a big deal being I work for the company that makes the most popular beer here among other alcoholic beverages. Overall you’ve helped my willpower making it easier to go with the healthier options.

It’s almost always a celebration in my work place, at our office we have a refrigerator filled with beer, a pastry store downstairs and a great restaurant across from us. I’m proud to say that I’ve denied all of it for weeks. I denied a beer from the CEO himself and I was surely most proud of that hahaha Rope climb is one great example. After our video session I’m able to properly rope climb. More practicing on my part and I’ll master it. Im especially proud of my mental push and working out alone. My best friend and I feed off each other’s mental push but I struggle in her absence, especially for longer WODs. This program has helped me be a lone soldier in the gym and I absolutely love it.

Half way through and it has just been fantastic. Passion and Discipline make it work so the 5000+ miles and 7 hours time difference are no obstacles. I had requested a video session and you gladly agreed; more of that would be fantastic. I had that little back injury and you have been working with me, pausing the program for my rest (doctor’s orders) and starting back slowly. I’m sad this even happened but I appreciate you being understanding; it has prevented me from being discouraged. I can tell this is something you enjoy because it shows when you take time to respond and explain. This is refreshing because my last coach didn’t care as much and that was discouraging and frustrating. I have recommended your program to a couple friends and I would honestly recommend to any and everyone. (Who understands discipline is important) At the end of the four months I’m going to be so sad because I don’t want it to end haha The only reason I wouldn’t continue is because of finance but I will be back; I’ll try my best. I have loved the experience thus far and cannot wait for further growth and fun.

Through my 12-week programme with Dan, I lost a few KG’s whilst increasing cardiovascular fitness and slightly improving strength. Mentally this has benefitted me hugely, I’m more confident in myself and my wellbeing. I feel fitter, healthier and generally more positive every day. I was waking up early to hit the gym and being so much more productive at home and at work as a side effect from it. Even my wife noticed the difference in me!

Physically after improving my diet within the first 4 weeks, I noticed instant fat loss around my lower stomach and back. After 8 weeks my obliques and shoulder definition were considerably more noticeable! After 12 weeks I had an increasingly toned up, the fat around my stomach had reduced massively. With him specifically targeting my goals and watching my nutrition this was what I needed to achieve this.

My main goal with Dan was to prepare me physically and mentally for the CrossFit open and improve my overall score from last year. I increased my overall percentage by 12% worldwide and finished 15 thousand places higher than I did in the previous year.

Communication was one of my main concerns when signing up, being an online coach, I imagined Dan to be very busy and ultimately not have much time for me, this was not the case. Dan was chatting to me daily, asking me how my sessions went, how I found them if I had any questions. He made me film everything and was constantly assessing my CrossFit form and technique and providing feedback in the form of videos and demonstrations. At least every other week we would have a phone call or facetime chat about progress and how I was getting on. If it wasn’t Dan, it was his team who was always there to help or provide advice. Immensely impressed with the communication and feedback!

Dan and his team have helped me to tackle challenges in the gym I have always put off. Traditionally I always steered clear of gymnastics, I would void WODS that had large amounts of T2B in and pull ups. Dan instantly got to work with me, starting off with low reps and scaled versions and building up my confidence and technique until I could carry out these weaknesses with a lot more sureness and success. Wall walks were my complete kryptonite and over the 12 weeks I’ve lost count with how many I did, but when they came up in one the open workouts, I was happy to attack it with confidence knowing I could smash them now. Since finishing the programme this has reflected in my training going forward, I now no longer avoid my weaknesses but train them more often until they become strengths.

Working with Dan was an absolute pleasure, he is a remarkable coach and person. His knowledge and experience in the industry is quite something. Coming from a rugby background and converting to CrossFit is what initially caught my eye as this was my background, however I had no idea how effective he was. I really felt throughout every part of the programme he was there to help me, be it check over my form, explain a movement to me or just general motivation he had my back every step of the way. I surpassed my goals increasing my physical stamina and strength, gaining nutritional knowledge to prolong my life and mentally live a more positive lifestyle that reflects not only in the gym but professionally in the workplace and socially.

The workouts were great and challenging. What improved my wellbeing and mental state were two things. 1) the results I could see on how my body was becoming more aesthetically pleasing and 2) the encouragement and positive reinforcement by my coach (Dan) during the programme to keep going and improve. My biceps have become more sculpted and my forearms more defined. My back had also increased in muscle size and my strength + endurance has improved significantly.

The frequent check ins via whatsapp, as well as, the general support group with peers have motivated me to stick to the programme. The online app is also excellent, user friendly and gives detailed guidance on both training and diets.

The communication was seamless with no delays nor technical issues. All platforms used including whatsapp, email and zoom have proved satisfactory during the programme. Through the positive encouragement and frequent check ins by my coach (Dan), I took accountability to push through with training sessions, even on the days when I was demotivated. This in turn resulted in me yielding satisfactory results.

I used to prioritise cardio over weight lifting. This programme taught me to find the balance between the two and resulted me growing the intended muscle mass I was aiming for. It was excellent. The coaching, platforms and communication was done very professionally. The results from following the programme are very effective and I am extremely satisfied with the superb service delivered by the TaiTrain team. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I have become more fond of fitness and this in turn improved my sleep schedule and natural energy levels.

The training was great. All the tips I received from you helped translate into every day life. I feel like I’m waking up with more energy, body is feeling good, and most importantly the aches and pains I had prior in my shoulder really decreased significantly.

The specific changes I noticed were that even though I started eating a lot more… I leaned out and put on good muscle mass. Even though I leaned out I didn’t lose strength, actually got stronger. As I said in the earlier question I feel like I’m overall just moving better.

CrossFit wise, thanks to you, I was able to clean up a lot of my opportunities that I started with. Built a stronger shoulder and more exciting was cleaning up my gymnastics. I don’t feel as “scared” jumping into gymnastics especially under fatigue.

Overall the communication was awesome! Even with the time differences (I believe 5-6 hour difference) I still received responses very timely. Once again, you really helped fix my shoulder insecurities when it came to snatching and really any other over head movements.

Specific movements wise, I am definitely happy with my progress in my snatches. I’m working it without any early arm bending and am cycling much heavier weight. Also my abilities in RMU. I don’t really fear jumping up under fatigue any longer.

Honestly, it was all nothing but positive. Dan constantly was rooting me on, but gave a very detailed (yet difficult) training program. If you like to challenge yourself, this is definitely for you!
