Hi, I’m Dan Farr. Many years ago I started my fitness journey as gym instructor in a locally run council gym in Stafford. When I was younger I had a love of sport and my gym work became a way for me to improve my performance in those passions. As I got older my main sports became cricket and football and as I saw my own performance improve I started to think about personal training as a career to help others improve. I completed my qualifications to become a personal trainer and while working in the gym I took on a couple of clients. I had aspirations to travel and after qualifying I decided to take a year out to live in Australia, and on my return I moved to Manchester where I set up as a full time personal trainer working from Pure Gym Spinningfields.In the first 18 months I worked hard on building a client base but I wanted to offer more comprehensive service. I started to search for an educational company that could match my ambition to help people move better for their own lifestyle, a sport or recover from injury/pain. Thankfully, I found Faster Function who based their learning around biomechanics, learning how bones move, joints feel and muscles react. I took courses with them including injury, rehab and performance, and more recently Sports performance Expert which has given me the skills to train any client put in front of me. I now head up Faster Functions “Rule the Tool” library creating hundreds of exercises with all kinds of equipment to inspire other trainers to get creative with exercise and to build programmes around a clients function.I left Pure Gym to set up a private personal training studio with Ant Bingham who I’d worked with a few years earlier at Pure Gym. Formula was born and we built the unit based around movement and assisting clients in achieving a goal based around their specific function, whether that be for an improvement in their sports performance or leading a healthier lifestyle.We have developed the brand and brought together a group of excellent personal trainers specialising in different areas of wellness. We work with a variety of companies offering bespoke packages to improve health and wellness in the workplace and with our experience in the fitness industry work on a consultancy basis to set up and manage gyms.
