Apex Personal Training Studio

Fantastic experience: Dan is simply a brilliant trainer. So knowledgeable, really cares about helping you to get results and keen to ensure that you are in charge of your own destiny which is half the battle. He's thoughtful, kind and has the patience of a saint. Would highly recommend him to anyone who i serious about taking control of their health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: A really friendly gym with small, mixed group PT sessions. In only a couple of months, I have seen significant improvements in my strength and mobility. Dan is super knowledgeable and has helped me to manage my old sporting injuries, which I am really grateful for. Best gym in Maldon - recommended!

Fantastic experience: Before I turned up to Apex, I had lost my fitness gained from years of playing sports as a kid. I was out of shape, unfit and my nutrition wasn't as good as it should have been. I got to a point where things needed to change so I stumbled upon Dan's website when looking for PTs in the local area. I wanted someone who could help me specifically instead of a generalised programme at a public gym and Dan supplied those things and more. I have been training with Dan since May 2021 and he has helped me changed my life. He has helped me improve every aspect of my health both physically and mentally through my training, nutrition and a boat load of advice through the years. I have a back issue that I have to deal with and Dan is brilliant at helping me look after it when it is feeling good and helping me manage it on the bad weeks. Dan's expertise around injuries is second to none. I know that even on a bad day, I can still turn up to train knowing that I am safe and we can work around the injury without aggravating it or making it worse. With a desk job, I have gone from constant back and injury limitations, struggling to hit 5,000 steps a day and a lack of energy for everyday tasks; to the complete opposite. Now, anything less than 8,000-10,000 steps is a quiet day. I have lost over 3 stone in excess weight. Going out for a walk or going to the gym are my favourite things to do and I have even been able to take up running which I never thought I would be able to do with my bad back and previous knee ligament injuries. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer than Dan and Apex Studio and I can't believe that someone as helpful and knowledgeable as him is right on my doorstep. He has helped me change my life in lots of different ways and I would recommend the studio to anyone who is looking to get their fitness and health back on track. Regardless of injuries or limitations, Dan will always find a way to help you. To anyone considering training at Apex, I have one piece of advice. It is going to be tough to start with, but if you stick with it and keep grinding through the harder days, you will get to a point where turning up to train at the studio is second nature and missing sessions will have you feeling lost without it!

Fantastic experience: Dan is second to none if you want quality training look no further. He is so knowledgeable and very mindful of your individual needs I cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: These are some of the reasons I love going to Apex Personal Training Studio: It is genuinely inclusive of anyone that wants to improve their fitness/lose weight/get stronger or all of these, regardless of age or gender. I feel mentally more resilient which has been an unexpected bonus! Dan is totally dedicated to each of his clients. He has a wealth of knowledge in all areas of physiology, fitness and nutrition. Dan is so much more than a personal trainer. This term doesn’t do justice to what he can and does teach- in a practical and realistic way. It is actually an enjoyable experience training with 2-4 others in a stress-free but motivated environment . You don’t feel judged but are coached on how to achieve your own potential. Dan is easy to get on with. Fortunately he has a good sense of humour which can often be of benefit! I cannot recommend Apex Personal Training Studio enough!

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of the ability and professional nature Dan Hadert conducts his training sessions. I have gone from a person who hates the gym and lacked the motivation to train, to someone who genuinely looks forward and enjoys each session I do. I have gone from training no times a week to 3!! Check this studio out Dan really is the best at what he does!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Apex enough. If you are looking for a solid personal trainer with tons of experience and a vast knowledge on how to adapt exercise to suit you, then Dan at Apex is your man.

Fantastic experience: I found Apex gym by accident, I am so pleased I did. You see I live with an incurable autoimmune condition called Multiple Sclerosis. I am very proactive about this condition that has taken residence within my body and always looking for new ways to control it. Dan has a level of expertise I need his knowledge and keen eye has enabled me to new heights in my mobility Dan is first class and a top performer I highly recommend him thank you so much Dan

Fantastic experience: Dan gets the balance just right to push me to, but not beyond, my limits. He has the knack of knowing when i'm genuinely struggling and when I'm just trying to skive a bit! I have come to hate the phrase 'one more if you've got it'. I want to scream 'No, I haven't got it!', yet I feel compelled each time to prove that I can do one more. Dan is very knowledgable regarding diet and nutrition, but I don't feel judged for not always following the advice he offers; I'm happier feeling strong than worrying about my weight. The private studio is great; there are no distractions from other gym users, and no waiting for a particular bit of kit. Thoroughly recommend Dan as a trainer.

Fantastic experience: Dan is an exceptional trainer, and honestly one of the most approachable and friendly people you could ever meet at the gym or elsewhere. After signing up I was astonished at his level of dedication to his craft, and how capable he is when it comes to motivating people to get in shape. If you're looking to shed a few pounds or work towards any sort of fitness goal I can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Dan for just over a year now and it has only been a good experience. His knowledge about health and fitness is very good and he has been a great help to me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good quality personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly personal trainer, keeps me healthy for snowboarding.

Fantastic experience: Having lost some weight, and realising that a change in diet alone wasn't going to be enough, I started training with Dan a year ago. Having no body confidence, the thought of going to the gym and being surrounded by fit people in Lycra scared the life out of me! I searched locally for a PT and found Dan. From our first meeting I felt comfortable and less self conscience which was a major thing for me. I don't just get to benefit from Dan's professionalism as an accomplished PT but also from his vast knowledge of nutrition and anatomy. Doing a food diary for a few days each month and discussing together where improvements could be made etc. both helps and educates me. Over this year I've reached my target weight but without Dan I don't believe I would have the shape I've achieved (a definite confidence booster) and I most definitely wouldn't have the strength and fitness I've gained. (To assist anyone reading this review I'm in my late 40s, was overweight for my height and my weight loss skin didn't ping back into place when once it might have!) I can't sing Dan's praises enough, he's a great guy and very personable. Our training relationship is a two way thing and our sessions are challenging and fun. I like the discipline of booking block sessions I can pay for in advance rather than the option of paying gym membership and not going often enough to make it worthwhile. I have no hesitation in giving Dan a 5 star review and I highly recommend you give him a try.

Fantastic experience: Dan has been my trainer for a year and a half now. He has an incredible knowledge of both health and fitness and has helped me achieve my goals through an individually designed and challenging training programme. Dan is extremely professional and creates a relaxed environment within his fully equipped private gym. Highest recommendation!!!

Fantastic experience: Dan has trained me over a number of years. He has taught me a solid foundation for strength and conditioning, which has enabled me to progress on the rugby pitch. Now I am able to train with Dan, again, in this excellent personalised studio, I am confident that I will continue to get stronger and fitter as he provides me with a tailor-made program. The research, and extra effort, he employs to make sure that every exercise is worthwhile means that my game (rugby) has been improving every week. Furthermore, he can provide sound reasoning and physiological knowledge for each lift and movement, which shows not only his dedication and professionalism, but instils a sense of confidence in what you are doing.

Fantastic experience: I originally went to see Dan to try and prepare me and my body to get through a marathon, he prepared and continues to prepare for me, a tailor made programme for both when I see him at the studio and also for my own sessions. Dan undertook a significant amount of specific research into the strains long distance running puts upon the body and therefore the best way to prepare me for the challenge. He also took into account my past history from an activity point of view alongside my previous injuries and ailments. I am fitter, stronger and in better shape than I have ever been before and look forward to that progression continuing. Dan is professional in his manner and his expertise is impressive. The studio is a great place to work out and the equipment perfect for whatever your goal! I cannot recommend Dan and Apex highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Iv been training with Dan now for about 4 years, he is a fantastic trainer who has excelled my golf and fitness abilities beyond anything I thought I could achieve. I am stronger, more powerful and most of all more confident in all of my training thanks to Dan's knowledge and commitment to me as a PT. Apex studio has been amazing for my training as it offered a private, fully equipped way for me to train without the over crowded feeling you get at normal gyms, this helped me have a more intimate, focused training session which inturn propelled my efforts and results. I couldn't have got as far as I have without Dan's help and advice and more importantly his desire to see me succeed and get to the top of my game. Georgie Kilby - professional golfer

Fantastic experience: Dan is the best trainer you will ever find! His new personal training gym had everything you will need to achieve your fitness, weight gain or weight loss goals! Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience: I went to these guys to help me with my sport as an enduro rider. But they have change my body an mind In ways I never knew possible. They have made me a better rider but that's only the beginning. I'm now stronger an more balanced in my career as a farrier meaning my back and body is better protected. They have also done a fantastic job with my diet. Meaning I feel great an look forward to meals. What ever your trying to archive in your life sport or job these guys are it. Look no further. To my mind they have an un rivalled knowledge an passion for what they do.
