About Dan

Coaching built on experience, evidence and consistency

I'm Dan Korcu, a self-employed personal trainer based in Harrogate. I've been coaching for over 10 years and hold a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science.

My approach is simple: find out what you want to achieve, build a plan that fits your life, and keep it progressing. I focus on getting stronger, moving well and building habits you can actually keep, rather than quick fixes that don't last.

I work with people of all ages and abilities. That includes complete beginners, people returning after a long break and experienced gym-goers who want more structure. I have a particular interest in long-term health and longevity: training that keeps you strong, mobile and capable for years to come.

  • Strength training
  • General fitness
  • Body composition
  • Confidence in the gym
  • Healthy ageing

One-to-one coaching at PureGym Harrogate

Every session is planned around you and coached in person, so you always know what to do, how to do it well and how it fits your bigger goal.

Training is matched to your goals and ability, whether that's building strength, improving your fitness, changing your body composition or feeling more confident in the gym. As you improve, the programme progresses with you.

Please note: I'm an independent personal trainer working at PureGym Harrogate. To train with me in person you'll need an active PureGym membership that gives you access to the Harrogate gym.

What you get

  • Technique coaching: learn to lift and move safely and efficiently
  • A clear plan: sessions that build on each other, not random workouts
  • Progression: your training adjusts as you get stronger and fitter
  • Accountability: booked sessions and someone in your corner

Pricing

£40 per one-hour session. You can pay per session, in blocks or monthly, whichever works best for you.

Training for the long term

Health and longevity coaching

Good training isn't just about how you look this summer. It's about staying strong, mobile and independent as the years go on. That matters at any age, and it matters even more as you get older.

01

Strength that lasts

Building and keeping muscle and strength supports everyday life, from carrying shopping to getting up off the floor with ease.

02

Fitness and movement

Improving your fitness and keeping your joints moving well so you can stay active and enjoy the things you like doing.

03

Habits you can keep

Sustainable routines that fit your life, because consistency over years beats intensity over a few weeks.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does personal training cost?

One-to-one personal training is £40 per one-hour session. You can pay per session, in blocks or monthly, whichever suits you best.

Do I need a PureGym membership?

Yes, for in-person training. Sessions take place at PureGym Harrogate, so you'll need an active PureGym membership that gives you access to that gym. Online coaching doesn't require a PureGym membership.

How much is online coaching?

Online coaching is £99 per month. You can read more about what's involved on the online coaching page.

I'm a complete beginner or haven't trained in years. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Training is built around your current ability, and learning the basics properly is part of the process. Lots of people start exactly where you are.

Do you work with older adults?

Yes. I work with adults of all ages and have a particular interest in healthy ageing and maintaining strength, fitness and independence as you get older.

What happens after I enquire?

I'll reply by email with a short questionnaire so I can understand your goals, training history and availability. From there, we'll agree the right option and get you started.

Can I do online coaching if I don't live in Harrogate?

Yes. Online coaching isn't tied to a location. Your programme is delivered through an app, and we stay in touch through regular check-ins.
