Training with Purpose
When it comes to preparing for competitions like Farm Fitness, Turf Games, or Hyrox, your training needs to go beyond the basics. It’s not just about turning up to the gym and lifting weights—it’s about building strength, fitness, endurance, and strategy to handle the demands of event day.
At DLPT, we offer two powerful pathways to get you there: Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) and 1-1 Personal Training. Both play a key role in building competition-ready athletes, with the flexibility to suit your lifestyle and goals.
Based in Bishop’s Stortford and across Essex, DLPT provides expert coaching, SGPT and Personal Training that’s accessible whether you want personal attention, group motivation, or remote support.
Why Small Group Personal Training (SGPT)?
SGPT is at the heart of DLPT’s community. Training in a small group means you get the energy and accountability of teammates while still receiving individual coaching and guidance.
For competitions, SGPT has clear benefits:
- Teamwork Practice – Many competitions rely on group coordination, so SGPT helps you train side-by-side, syncing effort and communication.
- Shared Motivation – Training alongside others pushes you harder than training solo, giving you that extra drive to finish strong.
- Variety and Challenge – SGPT sessions include functional fitness movements like sleds, carries, thrusters, and conditioning work—all staples in competition environments.
It’s not just training—it’s preparing your body and mind for the atmosphere of the competition floor.
The Power of 1-1 Personal Training
While SGPT builds the team and community element, 1-1 personal training gives you a more personalised focus. It’s about refining your weaknesses, correcting form, and pushing specific areas of performance.
With Danny as your coach, you’ll work on:
- Individual Strength & Conditioning – Targeted sessions to build raw power, speed, and endurance.
- Technical Coaching – Perfecting form on lifts, carries, and complex movements to ensure you perform safely and efficiently.
- Mindset & Confidence – Tailored sessions help you overcome mental blocks and push further than you thought possible.
When combined with SGPT, 1-1 training creates the ultimate blend: personal improvement within a strong team culture.
Competition-Ready Programming
DLPT designs training blocks with competitions in mind. Leading into events, both SGPT and 1-1 clients run through sessions that mimic the intensity and structure of competition days—so when the moment arrives, you’re ready.
Whether it’s learning to work with a worm, flipping a tyre, or pacing yourself through multiple workouts back-to-back, we prepare you not just physically, but tactically.
The DLPT Difference
What sets DLPT apart is the community. Based in Bishop’s Stortford and Essex, our coaching doesn’t just prepare individuals—it builds teams. You’re not just training; you’re part of a group that supports, motivates, and celebrates together. Competitions become more than just events—they’re a chance to showcase all the hard work, the PBs, the progress, and the belief you’ve built along the way.
Ready to Compete?
If you’ve ever thought about taking on a competition—whether it’s your first or your tenth—DLPT has the coaching, programming, and community to get you there.
With SGPT for teamwork, 1-1 PT for precision, and structured coaching for both, you’ll step onto the competition floor prepared, confident, and ready to give it everything.
Your training. Your team. Your results.
What Does Training for Competitions with DLPT Mean?
Training for competitions with DLPT is more than just preparing for event day—it’s about building the strength, fitness, and mindset to perform at your best while being part of a supportive community.
Our approach combines structured programming, SGPT sessions, 1-1 coaching, and full team run-throughs to replicate the demands of competition. You’ll develop not only the physical skills—like lifting, carrying, and conditioning—but also the mental resilience and teamwork needed to thrive under pressure.
It’s about pushing beyond what you thought possible, setting new personal bests, and walking away from every competition with confidence, pride, and unforgettable memories.
Nothing captures the experience better than the words of our athletes:
“Being a part of Farm Games 2025 with Team DLPT was definitely a highlight on the fitness calendar. A day filled with teamwork, grit, laughs and ‘Full Sends’. A community that not only welcomes you, but one that pushes you to your best. Enjoyed every moment and ready to go again in 2026 💪🏽”
“I thoroughly enjoyed our training programme ready for Farm Games. Danny pushed us to the limit to get the best results possible. It was my first competition and I was nervous, however that was quickly settled by being around a great team and coach. A PB on the thrusters topped off the day. All around great event and even better coach!”
“My understanding of Farm Games was that it would be ‘just a bit of fun’, as sold to me by Danny. I don’t think I’ve ever pushed myself so hard! Axle bars, thrusters, jumping over hay bales!! That said, it was filled with so many highs; from the weekly team training, the atmosphere, the friends made, and the many worm innuendos. Genuinely can’t wait to do it all again.”
“I recently completed Farm Games, and what an experience it was! After having two babies in two years, I was a little nervous when Danny suggested I take on the challenge. The training was tough but so rewarding – Danny pushed me in all the right ways and really helped me believe in myself again. The teamwork throughout the process was amazing, and on competition day the atmosphere was electric. I’m so glad I said yes to this challenge!”
“Farm Games was my very first fitness event—something I never imagined I'd be able to do! From not being able to pick up a 50kg sandbag to getting it on my shoulder on comp day, it was all down to the training and team support. The worm event terrified me, but with extra help from the DLPT crew we smashed it. I hit a thruster PB too—every bit of the journey was worth it.”
And many more, with one theme shining through: team spirit, progress, and belief.
