Dana Cripps - Personal Trainer

Awesome Sunday morning spent 3 rep max testing with this bunch and some of the other 3RM project crew Institute of Fitness Racing

Everyone smashed the testing sessions this week and are ready start the first block 💪 Let’s go team 🙌

Want to know more about the 3 Rep Max program? Drop us a DM!

You don’t have to train 6 days a week to build and/or maintain your fitness levels. You also don’t have to do things you don’t enjoy! Strength training is super beneficial to anyone at any time of life and I promise… it doesn’t have to be boring or full of exercises you hate or mean you have to go to the gym everyday.
If you’d like to learn more about enjoyable strength training and how to become consistent and enjoy the gym - drop me a DM to see how we can work together!

Life has been HECTIC lately and I have been incredibly bad at this whole social media thing 😂 but yeah…. Training has been good but meh…. Our munchkin turned ONE! And it seems that it has taken a whole year for me to find my feet again with my own training. Slowly energy is returning (until the next endo flare 😂) but I’ve found my love for it again ❤️ And I LOVE coaching my classes at Institute of Fitness Racing 😁 The members are awesome and bring their A-Game every sesh 💪🙌 But most importantly I defo need to keep my energy up now that the munchkin is on the move 😂 Any and all toddler parenting tips and hacks welcome 😂 xx

Small but FIERCE class with these strong women this morning 💪 Smashed the DEKA conditioning AMRAPs plus the RAM burpee finisher 🙌

9:30am - Friday mornings - DEKA conditioning with me 😁

Anyone else bored of AI? The posts, the captions, the cringe 😂 Don’t get me wrong, it has its place! Sometimes it’s incredibly useful to help brainstorm ideas, especially when you’re working on your own business, without the luxury of a team around you to bounce ideas off. However, the laziness and insincerity I see in these AI posts…. Or maybe that’s just my take on it.
I’m not fantastic at keeping up with my social media. I’m not that kind of coach. Plus I have an 11 month old 😂 and yeah I’ll use the odd reels template because I barely have time to drink a hot cup of tea, let alone make the perfect reel edit 🫣 but, what I do post is authentic and very much me!

So if you’re looking for real, authentic coach who’s pretty damn good at what she does, drop me a DM! I have a few coaching slots opening and it would be amazing to hear from people who are looking to make good choices, lifestyle changes and who want to feel healthier and fitter and just more able to say YES to life 💪❤️

Another warm .europe class at .dozen.gym with me and today 🥵 Whole team smashed it 💪

Coach Riggers will be leading next week’s class as I am away - DEKA MILE sim for you all 🙌

I think this photo has completely captured how it feels to me as new mum, coming back to exercise. Getting in the gym tired, running on what feels like close to zero, worried about the million other things I feel like I should be doing, watching the timer and wondering how I’ll get through the next minute, getting to the 15s rest and having a word with myself, summoning what feels like all my strength to keep going… making it through the class without giving in and feeling bloody amazing at the end.

It’s taken 10 months to feel like I can remotely push myself again. Fitness is different on everyone, pregnancy is different for everyone and post-partum is one hell of a ride! So if, like me, pregnancy really did a number on you and you’re struggling to find your way back, know that you are not alone ❤️

I’m available for 1-1 PT and small group sessions, specialising in post-partum, helping new (and long-time) mums feel confident and comfortable in the gym, and helping you find yourself again ❤️

Based at .dozen.gym | Macclesfield

Big thanks to for the covert photography 😁💪

Finally rocking these Reebok Nano 4’s after buying them from about 10 years ago 😂 They were always a little too big and I never got around to selling them on… My feet appear to have grown during pregnancy and now they fit perfectly 😂 My trainer hoarding tactic worked out this time!
