The trainers
The two people who will knock on your door: Jac, who started Doorstep in 2019, and Dan, twenty years in community exercise and falls prevention.
Jac worked in a Cardiff gym for nine years and noticed that the people who most needed it were the ones least likely to walk in. She bought the van in 2019 and has been training people in their own living rooms, kitchens and gardens across the Vale ever since. Level 3 personal trainer, first aid, enhanced DBS (placeholders on this demonstration site).
Dan spent twenty years running community exercise and falls prevention classes for the local health board before joining Jac in 2022. He leads the older adults visits and the workplace groups, and he is the calmest person you will ever see get a ninety-year-old up off the floor. Postural stability instructor, Level 3, first aid, enhanced DBS (placeholders).
Checked and insured
Level 3 personal training for both, and a postural stability qualification for Dan. All placeholders on this demonstration site.
Enhanced DBS checks, renewed every three years, because we visit homes where older and vulnerable people live.
Both trainers first-aid qualified, with a first-aid kit and a defibrillator in the van at every visit.
£5m public liability and professional indemnity, which the councils ask for in their parks and you might want for your living room.
Check your postcode, then tell us when suits. Jac or Dan replies within the hour between visits with a time for a free taster: a look at the space, a short health questionnaire, a few exercises and a plan.
