Hands down, Dan Henry is the best programmer and trainer I've ever met. He sticks to the core Olympic lifts and uses everything else to supplement and improve those lifts. I've trained under Danny for 10 years and still learn something new each session. His technical skills are top-notch and his ability to communicate ideas and provide insight are exemplary. I mean this in the most positive way: Dan Henry is a savant when it comes to knowing the body, knowing what loads to recommend on any given day, and how to tweak workouts midstream in order to extract maximum effort and efficiency.

Initially, walking into Academy of Strength and Sports, I felt a tad bit intimidated. I wasn't sure of my ability to keep up with the other athletes in the gym, however coach Dan assured me of my ability of being able to get in shape. He continues to mention getting in shape is a process. Lastly, the other members of the gym are very welcoming, and I truly believe that imperative as people begin the journey of a healthy lifestyle.
