Coaching built on gym experience.

Daniel Drakopoulos began his coaching career in Melbourne’s inner-north gyms after completing his fitness qualifications in 2012 to 2013. Working with beginners, office workers and recreational athletes taught him to meet people at very different starting points.

He also noticed that training was only part of the conversation. Many clients wanted help understanding how their eating patterns connected with the effort they were putting into the gym. Daniel went on to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Nutrition at the University of Melbourne.

As a Nutritionist and Fitness Instructor with 10+ years of coaching experience, Daniel can plan training and nutrition together. He asks about your work, meals and other commitments when developing a program.

He moved to Sydney in 2020 and is now based in Woollahra in the Eastern Suburbs. He offers consultations by appointment and online programming, with local training arrangements agreed on enquiry. He explains the plan and uses client feedback to make adjustments.

He works with beginners and people who already train, helping them understand their program and organise sessions around the rest of the week.

Qualifications and approach.

Daniel holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Melbourne. His studies focused on gut health, sports performance, metabolism and behaviour change, building on his earlier fitness qualifications.

His work brings those two foundations together: clear nutrition guidance and structured training, shaped around the person in front of him.
