Outdoor personal training in Battersea Park, built for the long game. Dan works with busy professionals, adults over 50 and people returning from injury.
About Dan
Dan Edwards is the personal trainer behind The Park PT, based in Battersea Park, South London. His work is shaped by a simple question: what kind of training actually holds up for the long term?
That means building strength that keeps you moving well into your 50s, 60s and beyond. Working methodically with injuries rather than around them. Designing sessions that slot into a busy professional's week without dominating it.
He trains entirely outdoors, across Battersea Park and the surrounding South London open spaces. Every programme starts from where you are right now, not where you think you should be.
Different goals, different starting points. The approach adapts completely to where you are and what you need.
You have limited time and want every session to count. Dan builds programmes that work around your schedule, with early morning slots and sessions designed to deliver real results without taking over your week.
Strength and mobility training becomes more important, not less, as you get older. Dan specifically designs programmes for healthy ageing, helping clients in their 50s and 60s build genuine, lasting strength.
Injury does not mean stopping. Dan holds specialist rehabilitation training and has guided clients through lower back problems, post-surgery recovery and long-standing overuse issues, rebuilding strength safely and steadily.
01
Every programme starts with understanding how your body moves and what your life actually looks like. What you get is built specifically for you, not pulled from a generic shelf.
02
Sessions run across Battersea Park and South London's open spaces, whatever the weather. The environment is part of the training, not a compromise on it.
03
The goal is not a transformation in six weeks. It is building strength, mobility and habits that serve you for decades. Dan's programmes are designed with the next twenty years in mind.
04
An existing injury is a starting point, not an obstacle. Dan holds specialist rehabilitation training and works with your body, not against it, rebuilding movement safely over time.
Every programme is built around your goals, your schedule and where you are right now. Sessions run across Battersea Park and the wider South London area, slotting around your working week.
Dan works with busy professionals who need early morning efficiency, clients over 50 focused on strength and healthy ageing, and people working through injury who need a careful, methodical approach. Programmes are updated as you progress.

A lot of people assume injury means stopping altogether. Dan's approach is the opposite. He has helped clients work through lower back problems, post-surgery recovery and long-standing overuse issues, rebuilding strength safely and returning people to the activities they love.
