What’s your name and what do you coach?

Hi, I’m Dylan. I coach both morning and evening classes.

What’s your background in fitness or sport?

I’ve always been active — from school sports teams to gymnastics. I’ve spent over 10 years immersed in the CrossFit and functional fitness world, and it’s where I’ve truly found my passion.

What’s your favourite movement or workout — and which one do you love to hate?

Love: I’m all about bodyweight gymnastics movements — toes-to-bar, pull-ups, muscle-ups. I enjoy the challenge of combining skill, strength, and timing. These movements demand control, coordination, and consistency, which makes them incredibly satisfying when they come together.

Hate: The snatch. I respect the technical mastery it requires, but it’s always been the lift I tend to avoid.

Give us a fun fact people might not expect about you.

I’m a big fan of baking — which is a bit ironic considering how much time I spend in the gym trying to balance out my own cakes!

What do you eat after a tough session — and what’s your ultimate cheat meal?

Post-training, I go for something high in protein to refuel quickly. As for a cheat meal? Pizza. Every time.

What’s your coaching style?

Supportive. Focused. Encouraging.

I believe in guiding people through small, meaningful changes — whether it’s refining technique, shifting mindset, or dialling in a movement. Consistency always trumps intensity, and I aim to help each athlete leave just a little bit better than when they walked in.

What’s one gym myth you’d love to see disappear?

That you need to be "fit" before you start. You come to the gym to get fit — everyone starts somewhere.

What made you want to become a coach?

To give back. I wanted to help others become stronger, more confident versions of themselves — just like coaching did for me.

What’s your favourite part about coaching at The Unit?

The community. Without a doubt. Seeing new faces, building connections, and hopefully making a positive impact — that’s what it’s all about.
