What Athletes Are Saying
My expectation was pretty low when I joined dbd due to a previous experience, I never could’ve comprehended the level of detail and professionalism shown to all athletes. DBD has been the best decision for me and I can’t wait to continue for many more years

DBD is more than just online coaching, it’s a community. DBD has set the standard for what coaching should be: fast replies, personalised support in all areas not just from your coach but from everyone involved and not to forget amazing events and trips 🙌🏻

Since I've begun working with Ryan we have fixed problems with my knee, back AND shoulder. My confidence and knowledge have both sky rocketed but more importantly my strength is on a very consistent trajectory upwards! His dedication, knowledge and passion are unmatched. His support inside AND outside the gym have allowed me to learn and grow both physically and mentally so much faster than I anticipated. It's a genuine pleasure to work with him, cant wait to see what the future holds!

Dbd experience has been unlike no other. The sense of community, support and passion throughout makes every session that much easier. You feel empowered and strong and you’re surrounded and coached by like minded individuals which we all share the same passion with. Alice is one of the most incredible coaches and is so driven to giving back to each of us and providing us the best experience and knowledge in her power.
The Dedicated by Design team set the standard for coaching. Callum is so attentive, understanding and should hold a world record for the fastest reply times known to man. With his help along with the rest of the incredible DBD community, it has allowed me to grow not only as a lifter but as a person more in the space of a year than I would have ever dreamed possible.

Since joining DBD and working with Alice I have truly felt like part of a team from the get go. The sense of community and support from the team and coaches alike is unmatched.

Making the decision to start my powerlifting journey under Alice has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Although we’ve only been working together for under a year , I have noticed significant growth under her guidance. She has improved my confidence, my technical aspects of every lift, and I’m so excited to continue working with her and to see what we can achieve together

Being in the powerlifting community for a while, you think have an idea in your head of what good coaching is. THEN, you become a DBD client, and all of those coaching expectations are exceeded ten fold. I thought I knew what great coaching services include and look like. Now I know what exceptional coaching services include, feels like and that exceptional standards actually exist! Every strength athlete should get to experience what we get to experience daily as DBD clients. Community, respect, kindness, transparency, strength, results, confidence, an abundance of knowledge and genuine hard work and raw experience, as coaches and athletes. ‘Dedicated By Design’ isn’t just a brand name, it’s an ethos.

My strength and technique has improved greatly since I started being coached by Ryan, I've even managed to take part in a competition! Ryan is always happy to answer any questions, and the constructive inputs at regular check-ins help keep me motivated. I am an online client but the level of communication never makes me feel part of a team and never isolated. He genuinely cares about your progress and will happily amend programming around injuries or your body. I'd definitely recommend Ryan's coaching to anyone, and soon you will be hooked on powerlifting.

The coaching service is the best because the community support is top tier and the amount of help and encouragement we receive is unmatched. Every single person in dedicated not just to themselves but the whole community.

My DBD experience; On top of one of, if not the most involved coaching dynamic I’ve ever received, the athlete community at DBD is what separates it from all others out there. Find me somewhere else where you can find this level of immediate support and feedback that this team offers…You can’t because I’ve already tried.

My experience with Callum has been great. Getting a coach was something that I was weary about initially and wasn’t sure I needed. Teaming up with Callum all I can say is I wish I had the foresight to do it earlier. He is there for every step of the process with information, guidance, and support and leaves you feeling like all of your concerns were answered.
James R.
I could not imagine being coached by anyone else apart from Callum. The knowledge, passion, hard work, and dedication to looking after me and his other athletes really makes him stand out from the rest. I have learned so much under him and continue to do so, and the experience he gives me and other athletes is second to none!
Alix
I’ve worked with Ryan for 3 years now, and I am confident when I say that he understands what’s important to me. He’s pushed me through successes and picked me up when things haven’t gone to plan, committing to making it different next time. We are a team.
Sophie Hollis
Unbelievable. Being coached in powerlifting has changed my life in every way and I’ll never look back.
Ellie
Ryan has been a great coach, providing excellent tips, support and programme in a professional but approachable manner. He has great enthusiasm, and has good drive to help you succeed. If you put the work in then so will Ryan
Chris Pryor
After consulting 5 other rehab specialists prior to Callum and making no progress with my injury I had lost all hope. Callum managed to get my back on the platform within a year and really listens to what I have to say, making my recovery collaborative and successful!
Ryan is non-judgemental, supportive, and consistently communicates everything he is doing to constantly improve his service. I am immensely lucky to work with him.

My experience with Alice has been amazing. Helping me drill in form whilst also being supportive and pushing me to progress and push weight too.
Emma B
Working with Callum for about a year and a half, I have become significantly stronger for the main three lifts! The journey can be frustrating but the destination is beautiful, it has been a pleasure to continue working with him.

Alice/DBD offer the perfect blend of challenge, support and knowledge to provide the best quality coaching around. Offering programming from those new to the gym to world champions, no athlete is left behind.

Ryan is a great coach who has been patient and understanding with my shift pattern. Adjusting my workout plan to my shift pattern and balancing childcare.
Since training with Ryan, I've noticed my strength and confidence increase with SBD.

Alice and the Dedicated by Design are exceptional, providing unwavering support through both triumphs and challenges. They are more than just a team, they are a family of dedicated cheerleaders, unparalleled in their unity and encouragement for one another.

The best coaching I've ever experienced. And results I never thought were possible.
