DAN CRISP Personal Trainer
dcpt project 2014-2018
The Project 2018 – for ever
The Project (aka dcpt project) was created to bring quality personal training into an affordable group environment.
“I have experience, credentials and knowledge, but that doesn’t make for a good coach or trainer.
I have empathy and passion. I can motivate and empower. I can create drive and determination .
I have the belief that everyone has the tools required to achieve everything they want.
In my mind, that’s what makes for a good trainer.”
Dan Crisp gave birth to dcpt project in Williamstown in 2014, with a small client base of less than 20 girls, training outdoors at the beach and local footy ovals. Fast forward 18 months, and dcpt projectnow boasts an amazing warehouse/industrial space in Yarraville, custom built for all things health and fitness, with a dedicated client base of over 50 members and growing.
dcpt project is more than just a gym, it’s Dan’s baby. All clients are made to feel comfortable and are kept motivated as Dan quickly picks up on what gets each person going.
Behind the scenes, Dan invests huge amounts of time ‘checking in’ with clients to ensure their personal journeys are progressing. Remembering the individual goals of each member, and continuously following up on them during sessions as well as outside of business hours remind clients that they are here for a reason. This persistence ensures that each client turns up to training with a sense of purpose, and gets the most out of their sessions.
As well as a purpose built training environment, Dan has created an ever-changing and progressive approach to programming. Dan prides himself on creating a program that will challenge people of all levels.
“It’s not about creating new exercises or complicated movements, it’s setting the members a challenge for that one session, that can either just be completed, or can leave them with a challenging goal for the near future. Falling just short of your target is such a strong motivator to fight harder next time” – Dan Crisp
Dan’s passion has made him a standout in his field, so much so that he was recently approached by Lululemon to come onboard as an ambassador. Lululemon wanted to help support Dan’s vision, to help promote the importance of health and fitness as a part of a holistic life.
“We wanted you to be an ambassador because we love the shit you do, and we want to help you do it bigger and better” – unnamed lululemon representative
“This opens up so many opportunities for me and my members. I’ve always wanted to go bigger in the things I do. Effect more people, change more perspectives. This relationship opens up so many avenues. I can’t wait” – Dan Crisp
