Our Team
Daniel Edney
Personal Trainer and Founder
Daniel has been passionate about bikes since he was 10. He has raced in mountain bike, road bike, triathlon and running events competing in various formats. From the relatively small 5km running and sprint triathlons to the somewhat larger iron distance Tri and 24hr mountain bike races. As a fully qualified personal trainer specialising in group exercise, Daniel has developed class structures designed to challenge and teach individuals to get more out of their fitness routines. From complete beginners to regular class stalwarts, you are sure to come away with something new.
