Our Story
Dare is the vision of founder David Ottobre.
After years of training, he noticed that most gyms follow the exact same model. They use generic training plans and offer very little personalised support.
Where was the focus on lifestyle, unique injury history and personal goals?
He realised that for fitness and nutrition plans to really work, there was no one-size-fits-all. Programs needed to be tailored to you.
Leading across all touch points, with state-of-the-art machines, expert trainers and personalised memberships,
Dare was born.
At Dare we are proud to be different. We truly care about you.
We offer a deeply considered and tailored approach to one-on-one training. We have a highly educated and experienced team of personal trainers who are continually working on their professional development to bring you their best.
We’re a diverse team with backgrounds ranging from Sports Science and Nutrition to Psychology. When you join Dare you gain access to the whole crew!
All we ask is that you give it your all and we’ll be with you every step of the way!
We will delight, surprise and motivate you.
We’ll encourage you to achieve your goals and empower you to become the best version of yourself.
