Physical Preparation for Actors

Dan loves working with actors and provides specialist physical preparation for those of you involved in film, television and theatre projects. Trusted by multiple Oscar, Emmy & BAFTA-winning actors, talent agencies, and Universal Pictures, Netflix, Amazon Studios, HBO, BBC and London’s West End – Dan understands the world of acting and what needs to be done to physically prepare for your upcoming project.

He can get you in shape, help you bulk up, tone or lean you out, He can help you embody the physicality of the character you’re playing, and help you become healthier, more athletic and capable. When you commit to the process, he can do it to a tight deadline… and make it fun too.

When the project calls for it, Dan is also highly proficient in movement coaching and screen combat. To look, move and fight like your character before the cameras roll makes your life easier, so you can focus on your craft and the story. You don’t want to be midway through filming and start feeling body-conscious or underprepared! This is why the vast majority of Dan’s experience with actors is during pre-production.

Each programme is tailored to your unique physiology, your personality and the precise demands of the upcoming project. Training may include Strength & Conditioning with heavy-ass weights, Mobility & Flexibility work, movement coaching, stunt preparation, screen combat, martial arts, weapons training, boxing, yoga, parkour, pre-rehabilitation and nutritional support (via dietitians, meal delivery or arranging a private chef). Whatever you need, we can provide.

We are used to adapting to the ever-changing demands of production schedules and approach projects with discretion, kindness and absolute professionalism. Trusted physios and trainers can also be arranged for you in locations all over the world too. For LA-based productions, we recommend Jason Walsh of Rise Movement.

Dan has prepared lead actors for over 40 major Hollywood film productions over the last 15 years. Production credits and references are available upon request.
