Being a Level 4 exercise specialist means I am qualified in Cardiac Rehabilitation, Postural Stability, Obesity & Diabetes, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Arthritis and Mental Health.

I offer exercise classes for the over 60's age group, specialising in improving strength and balance. I enjoy working with clients in class environments, as they have seen a big improvement in their mental, physical and social wellbeing. My classes run throughout Shropshire.

I am part of a Falls Prevention Programme called Elevate. The classes have since received great feedback from the results achieved.

I also offer Kettlebell classes suitable for complete beginners to your regular class users for all ages. You can find FREE workouts on my Dan Lewis Fitness - YouTube channel! If you prefer face to face classes, you can find them here.

I am a registered member of CIMSPA. CIMSPA is the professional development body for the UK's sport and physical activity sector.

'Older people delighted as Elevate classes boost fitness and wellbeing'

“The classes have really given me a new lease of life.”

Bill Dance
Strength & Stability Participant

"I consider myself fortunate to be a participant in Dan Lewis's twice a week Strength and Stability classes. Along with a number of 'seniors' i take part in these throughly worthwhile exercises. Most of us have some form of mobility restriction and Dan brilliantly manages the classes to deal with those challenges. His level of expertise and individual consideration is of the highest. None of us feel inadequate, exercises are explained and it is no problem if there are individual challenges. It is not a competition. His skill at handling us 'seniors' is quite amazing and a club environment has developed. Don't delay - Join today (if you are able)"

Highly recommended: Ive been doing Dan’s classes for 6 years now. His sessions are always excellent, friendly, enjoyable and consistent. Every exercise has 3 or 4 options to cater for different abilities from beginner to advanced. If you have an injury or have had time off for illness or recovery he gently encourages you back to fitness. If you are working at your best and have taken your foot off the gas he nudges and pushes you to do more. Highly recommended whatever your ability.

I’ve been going to Dan’s HIIT classes for two years and have referred a number of elderly people to him on a professional basis (I work as a GP). The opinion of those I’ve referred reflects my own exactly: Dan is a highly professional, enthusiastic instructor who has an uncanny ability to gauge each person’s capability and gently encourage them to achieve their potential. It’s no exaggeration to say that Dan has transformed my exercise regime and helped me achieve the level of fitness and strength I had 30 years ago. Several frail, elderly people have raved to me about feeling more confident and sprightlier after attending Dan’s strength and balance classes and he’s also excellent with youngsters. I think that constitutes a huge recommendation!

Strength & Stability Participant

“I have been attending Dan’s classes for a few months now and have noticed a huge improvement in my strength, fitness and balance. So much so I am now going twice a week. He is such an enthusiastic teacher, he is respectful, kind and encouraging. I would definitely recommend his classes”.

     

Lesley Yeoward
Strength & Stability Participant

I originally met Dan when taking my Father-in-law to classes in Clun Memorial Hall in 2017. After my Father-in-law I took my Mother-in-law. I asked Dan if I could join the class, (though, then I was under 60) as I didn't have time to go home and return and just sitting and watching seemed wasteful. Dan being Dan of course said "yes" and I have been going to his class ever since. Dan is an extremely knowledgeable teacher, but as well as this, he is an excellent communicator, he explains WHY we should be doing the things he suggests, in a very gentle but clear way which makes changing entrenched habits easier and much more likely when we understand the possible long term consequences. Dan is passionate about exercise and is constantly learning, and this learning is continually passed on. He tries different ways of explaining things to hopefully give the lightbulb moment to as many of us as possible. He is never impatient and is happy to discuss things many times to ensure we understand. He is always immaculately turned out, he is also extremely reliable and very kind, no matter how poorly turned out and unreliable his sometimes ditzy students are. I am absolutely sure, that Dan's abilities are far and away superior to what is required by our balance class but long may he be oblivious to that!

Kettlebell Class Participant

I attend Dan’s kettlebell classes. He is very welcoming, encouraging and attentive and he tailors the exercises to suit people’s different abilities. The classes are never repetitive, always fun, but still challenging and I definitely feel stronger and more confident for going.
