Our Story
UNLKD was born from a shared vision between two people who believe in the extraordinary potential within every individual. As a couple based in Manchester, we have combined our unique journeys - Daniel's decade as a GB athlete and subsequent years as a performance coach, alongside Rebeccah´s transformative work with thousands of women through online coaching - to create something truly special.
Why Unlkd
We have seen first hand how teamwork can create massive change in a person's journey and we hope to impact as many lives as possible with our approach to fitness. We are extremely passionate about functional training and the many benefits it has had on both of our lives as well as our clients to date.

Over the past ten years I have coached thousands of women in their pursuit for better. With a career that started as a freelance personal trainer I have since spent the last eight years training clients full time online.
I believe that a strong sense of self should be the foundation for all physical transformation and that confidence paired with community is the winning formula for true, long lasting results.
Through years of experience, I have witnessed how this powerful combination creates not just physical change, but profound personal growth.
My aim with each member of the UNLKD team is to offer a space that delivers education, challenge and support while developing the skills needed to consistently show up.
‘Be patient in becoming the person you’ve never been before’.

Having spent a decade in elite sport, as a GB athlete in both Decathlon and Skeleton, I quickly learnt that success is about more than talent. It’s about discipline, handling pressure and refusing to quit when things get tough.
Those years taught me how to stay focused when everything is telling you to stop, how to break down complex challenges into manageable steps, and how to push through mental barriers that most people think are impossible.
Spending the last eight years on the gym floor has been just as eye opening. I have worked with everyone - from elite athletes to expectant mothers and here’s what I know; everyone has got untapped potential.
As a Coach I bridge the gap between theoretical fitness knowledge and real world application. My approach focuses on functional performance that extends far beyond the gym walls, creating lasting impact in people's daily lives.
Being a father of two with a busy schedule, I know firsthand how to make training work within life’s demands and this is what I aim to do with all members of the UNLKD team.
