In 2019 Dan Lonsdale launched his gymnastics strength and conditioning business which now supports one ten gymnastics clubs across the UK and Europe. He had previously worked as the senior strength and conditioning lead coach at the University of Durham supporting their top performance athletes. His background was in the sport of Rugby where he spent nine years developing his skill set. However through a local initiative that connected sports medical practitioners with upcoming athletes in the North East region Dan came across the sport of gymnastics. Gymnastics is a sport that is constantly evolving and the work that Dan provides is incredible valuable to the community. Dan also provides coach education focussing on S&C specifically for gymnastics alongside sharing his knowledge at a number of coaching workshops and seminars. And this is his story.
