  Amy Jarratt

I have been part of Teambreakthrough for two years and really enjoy the relaxed environment. I offer the beauty and massage treatments, which i have been doing for nearly 6 years.

If you visit my website www.amyj-cloud9.co.uk you can see what treatments i do.

I see myself as a very hoistic person, i love to explore the different treatments such as chakra points in the hot stone massage, also the amazing detoxing lymphatic treatment. I am also looking into a reflexology course later on in the year.

I train twice a week in the gym with either Matt or Dave training me. I absoultly love the vigourating feeling of doing a workout...i just wish there was someone to massage me afterwards!

I also have compleated a 12 week biosignature program where i went from 25% body fat to 16%! i take regular supplements to keep on top of this.
 
 
Maggie Davies

Former international athlete Maggie Davies comes from a family of successful sporting achievements, and gained her inspiration and competitive nature from her sisters Sam and Jackie who have both competed at Olympic Games. Maggie began her skeleton career in 2005, when she made the British team after only 2 weeks in the sport. She went on to compete in 43 international races and achieved some respectable results including:

• 7th World Junior Championships Winterberg 2005
• 6th World University Games Igls 2005
• 3rd Americas Cup Lake Placid 2006

• 3rd Intercontinental Cup Igls 2008

During her most successful season she represented Great Britain in the World Cup Squad and concluded the season at the FIBT World Championships Altenberg, where she finished in 9th place.

Maggie’s approach as a trainer is to apply the knowledge and techniques she acquired during her time as an athlete combined with the latest research in both training and nutrition, to deliver a first class service. Everything in life is about balance, training is no different. The underlying focus of your program will be to address muscular imbalances whilst improving strength, posture and body composition. Maggie’s background is science, after gaining her Bsc Honours degree in Science in Health exercise and sport, she went on become a strength coach through the Poliquin certification program led by World renowned coach Charles Poliquin. She is also a Biosignature practitioner and takes pride in guiding people to optimal health through a combination of diet, supplementation and training.

  Dan Cossins

Dan is a former international sprinter who has turned his hand, very successfully, to coaching.

As a competitive athlete, his highest achievements included a European Indoor 4 x 400m silver medal (2005), a UK champs 200m silver (2009) and being a 3 time British University Champion over 200 metres. During his career he was coached by top names such as Dave Lease, Malcolm Arnold and Linford Christie.

Dan's coaching is also a long list of high achievements, made all the more impressive by the fact he has only been coaching properly for 4 years. Athletes he has worked with include;

Henry Nwume- 2010 Winter Olympian (GB 4 man Bobsleigh)
Jackie Gunn- International bobsledder
Maggie Davies- International skeleton athlete
Danny Talbot- Multiple Junior national medallist in 200m and ranked 4th in world as a junior for 2010 indoor season
Emily Diamond- European Junior 200m finalist

He has also worked with professional and amateur rugby players, biathletes, footballers and hockey players. He has had great success working with children, whose parents are looking for their children to gain the best coaching through their developmental years.

Dan is committed to getting the best education possible so that the information he gives out to his clients is as current and effective as possible. Dan has recently completed many of Charles Poliquin's excellent courses as well as spending time learning from world renowned coaches such as Dan Pfaff and Pierre Roy. He also has a foundation degree in sports performance from the University of Bath. Dan’s aim over the next few years is to bring together the best information in training, nutrition and therapy to be considered as close to “the complete coach” as is humanly possible.

Although Dan is at home coaching elite athletes and the sporting population, he is also happy to work with clients who have different goals such as weight loss, improving diet and health or injury rehabilitation. Outside of his coaching achievements in sport, he considers his best achievement as a PT to be taking one female client from nearly 30% body fat to 16% in 12 weeks.

Dan is available at Team Breakthrough’s state of the art facility most days, and can be hired by individuals or small groups. If you would like a no nonsense trainer who will make it his business for you to achieve your goals, whatever they may be, then Dan is the man for you!
