⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "
Dean has been brilliant from day one. The training is tailored around my work and family commitments, and I’ve seen real improvements in both fitness and confidence. Communication is excellent, and there’s always support when needed. Every session has a purpose. I’ve learned how to train smarter rather than just running hard all the time. I’d highly recommend DW Performance, whether you’re starting out or chasing a new PB.

I had a fantastic, positive experience using DW performance plan for my London marathon, easy to follow & great mixed sessions to keep you motivated throughout the 16 weeks, the support along the way was invaluable to, any worries/concerns were easily & quickly dealt with ,having achieved a PB by over an hour I will use them again for my next race & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

I started training with Dean to improve my marathon time, and over the past year I’ve achieved personal bests across every distance. He is highly organised, planning training in advance, whilst also being flexible enough to make last minute adjustments to my training when needed. This demonstrates that his coaching is tailored specifically to me and my goals. I particularly value the structure of the training and the variety of sessions. Dean understands how I train, what motivates me, and how to get the best out of me. We have built a strong coach-athlete relationship, which has been a key factor in my progress and success.

"Deano was recommended to me by my boyfriend as a run coach when I first started training for the London Marathon. He has never been more than 10 minutes away over text/facetime when I’ve been injured or unsure about anything running related. He has been reassuring and encouraging and I am so grateful for all his help and support over the last 16 weeks! Apart from a few weeks off for a chest infection mid training block I followed the sessions planned and am over the moon with sub 4:30 for my first marathon!!! 🥰"

"Coming to Dean for assistance in running was a HUGE step for me as running wasn’t my strong point and to even ask and do was out of my comfort zone.
But for the next 11 months Dean adapted to my work and especially social life to make sure I was kept accountable throughout, pushing me hard on days in always found a short cut.
I achieved 5k, 10k and Half marathon PBs which was extraordinary to archive and see my progress from 0 to pretty much hero."
