Dan McColgin is a nationally-renowned strength and conditioning coach, with over thirty five years of diverse training experience. He has coached some of the top amateur and professional athletes in the fields of MMA, jiu-jitsu, bodybuilding and powerlifting.
Dan started his fitness career as a nationally-ranked teenage bodybuilder, winning the 1982 San Francisco bodybuilding championship. Since then he has worked at some of the top bodybuilding and training facilities in the world, including Gold's Gym, Venice, where he worked under the legendary Joe Gold, founder of both Golds and World gyms.
From 1996-2006 Dan was in competitive Jiu-jitsu on the world famous Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu team in Los Angeles. There he studied under Grand Master Carlson Gracie, Vitor Belford, Mario Sperry and Rey Diogo.

During his tenure there, Dan had the privilege of training Wanderlei Silva and many of the top champions in the world from UFC, Pride, Bellator, and the World Series of MMA.
In 2016 Dan moved to Aurora, Illinois where he started his own training business and competition team, "Feel Strong, Be Strong." While both the male and female teams were successful, the female team proved exemplary, winning state, national and world titles and setting numerous records.
As a personal trainer he has worked with men, women and children of all ages to help them achieve their fitness goals. He has always been a proponent of strength training no matter a person’s age, ability, or fitness level.
Dan has recently relocated to Prescott, a place he says he has, “wanted to move to for years." He is looking forward to coaching and training and becoming part of the Prescott community.
Fitness and an active lifestyle have been a passion of mine since I was young. I participated in many sports growing up and played in competitive soccer through high school. I would love to say that it has always been my way of life, but that is not the case.
Once I started having children my focus shifted 100% to mom-life, and put myself on the backburner for six years. Then, four years ago, I had an epiphany: if I am not active and healthy, how do I expect to keep up with these kids the way they deserve?
At that point I was overweight, depressed, and had no idea where to begin. I began working out and eating better the very next day. I have used everything from the gym, to hiking, to home workouts, to hit my goals. Fast-forward to today and I have lost 65lbs, gained confidence, and I am happier than I have ever been.
In the past four years, I have achieved more fitness accomplishments than I ever imagined: from completing rim to rim hikes in the Grand Canyon, to competing in Spartan races, to obtaining my Certified Personal Training certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
I am most proud of the fact that prioritizing my fitness has made me a better wife and mother!
My passion has shifted to helping others reach their own fitness goals. It all starts with saying ‘yes’ and committing to consistency. I‘m here for you, and I cannot wait to watch your fitness journey unfold.
