Want to lose weight, get fitter, eat better or have more energy?
Personal coaching in fitness, nutrition and everyday lifestyle, shaped around what you want to achieve.
Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s or simply ready for a change, you’ll find straightforward guidance without extreme diets or complicated programmes.
How I can help
Support that fits your life.
Whatever brings you here, we can focus on the area that matters most to you.
STRENGTH & FITNESS
Feel stronger and fitter in everyday life
If everyday activities feel harder than they used to, we’ll find manageable ways to build strength, improve fitness and help you feel more capable.
NUTRITION & EATING HABITS
Feel more confident about what you eat
If nutrition advice feels confusing, we’ll simplify it. Learn how to put together satisfying meals and make food choices that fit your life and support your goals.
ENERGY & WELLBEING
Have more energy and feel better day to day
If you often feel sluggish or out of routine, we’ll look at the lifestyle factors you can influence, including food, movement, sleep and recovery. Persistent unexplained fatigue should also be checked by a healthcare professional.
These are examples, not a complete list. If there’s something else you’d like to work on, you’re welcome to ask.

The person behind DHG Fitness
Hi, I'm David Gordon.
My interest in fitness and healthy living comes from years of exploring how exercise, food and everyday choices affect the way we feel.
Fitness and martial arts have long been part of my life, alongside a genuine passion for healthy eating, cooking and understanding the science behind good health. I'm particularly interested in healthy ageing, gut health and metabolic health, and I'm constantly learning and questioning what we think we know about nutrition, movement and lifestyle.
My professional background includes personal training, gym instruction, circuit coaching and exercise counselling. Alongside my fitness qualifications, I've also studied nutrition, with my particular interest in helping people make better everyday food choices — understanding ingredients, preparing simple meals and developing eating habits that support their health and fit into family life.
It's about helping you cut through confusing information, understand what matters for your own health and build better habits that work in your everyday life.
Genuine client feedback
In their own words.
Kind words from people I've supported through my outdoor fitness sessions and 7-Day Food and Lifestyle Review.
“It showed me that I didn’t have a sufficient breakfast and lacked protein in my diet. Those 2 things I have changed so that’s a positive. Recording my food intake showed the extras I consumed, easy to forget when not written down. This helped me to focus on reducing those.”
“I really like the informal and very friendly atmosphere of the sessions. The activities are fun and varied. Really like the equipment used at the last two sessions in particular. I like how you ensure the correct technique is being followed and allow us time to adjust accordingly.”
What I believe
For me, education is the starting point for lasting change.
I want you to understand your choices, not just follow instructions. That confidence can stay with you long after any individual coaching session.

Before you get started
A few things you might be wondering.
Is coaching right for me?
It may suit you if you want practical support with fitness, eating habits or everyday wellbeing. We can discuss your circumstances on a free introductory call, including whether your needs fall within my coaching scope.
How does the coaching actually work?
We start by talking about your goals, your current lifestyle and anything that has been making progress difficult. From there, I’ll help you build a realistic Action Plan, and we’ll use regular check-ins to review what’s working, tackle obstacles and make adjustments. You can find the full package details on the Coaching page.
What can I expect to achieve?
Progress depends on your starting point, goals and circumstances. We’ll agree useful ways to measure it, but no specific result can be guaranteed.
Will I receive a meal plan or workout programme?
Not necessarily, and certainly not a generic one. We'll start by understanding what you're already doing, identifying what could help most and building from the basics. That might involve improving how you put meals together, increasing everyday movement or developing strength and fitness at a suitable level. Your Personal Action Plan will reflect your needs, rather than forcing you into a fixed diet or exercise routine.
How will we know if I’m making progress?
We'll agree what progress means for you and review it during our check-ins. Depending on your goals, that could include changes in body measurements, strength, fitness, energy, eating habits or consistency. Not every improvement shows up on the scales, and we'll adjust your plan when something isn't working.
Am I committing to a long-term contract?
No. Coaching is arranged and paid for one calendar month at a time, with no automatic renewal. You can decide whether to continue at the end of each period. Full details are available in the Coaching Terms & Conditions .
