Mini Warriors Ltd Avis 66

Dean is an amazing coach. I got roped into going by a friend and now I’m so grateful because my cardiovascular health has improved, my resting heart rate has significantly got better and Dean really caters to individual needs, both in the group sessions and in the 121 sessions.

We can’t recommend Dean at Mini Warrior highly enough!
My son has gained so much confidence and improved conditioning since training with Dean. The sessions are not only fun and engaging, but they’ve made a real difference to his strength, fitness, and overall mindset. We’ve seen how this has directly supported his rugby training — he’s more resilient, focused, and physically prepared on the pitch.
Dean has a fantastic way with the kids, pushing them to do their best while keeping everything positive and encouraging. Roman genuinely looks forward to every session, which says it all.
Thank you, Dean, for the impact you’ve had - Highly recommended

We got in touch with Dean about running a party for our daughter’s 10th birthday - she’d done a session with him at a fun day and fell in love with Mini Warriors!

We had around 30 attendees ranging in age from 2-45, all of varying fitness levels, every single participant was pushed to work harder than they thought they could (age appropriately), and had the absolute time of their lives in the process.
Coming from someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy physically exerting themselves, I can say I’ve never had more fun doing exercise! We had so many comments what an incredible experience it was - a party like no other.

Dean is an all round top bloke, and a fantastic trainer/motivator. Somehow when he tells you to do something, you just do it (even if you doubt that you can).
He has built something completely unique in MW, a real niche that combines fitness, respect, and teamwork. We’d thoroughly recommend him and his bootcamps to anyone, and if you’re thinking of a MW party/private bootcamp, stop thinking and book - It will be thoroughly enjoyable and remembered for a lifetime!

Thank you Dean - you’re a total legend and we think you’re incredible.

I was nervous about joining Sunday morning Adult Boot Camp, but those worries quickly vanished. The early workout energises my entire day. Dean runs a well-structured program that accommodates all fitness levels, tracks progress, and motivates continuous improvement. Dean pushes you to excel. Classes vary weekly with genuine team spirit throughout. Everyone is friendly, and the camaraderie is exceptional. We're planning to climb Snowdon and organize other activities together. Most weeks we grab coffee afterward to share tips and celebrate progress. Expect hard work, like-minded people, and real results. I highly recommend these sessions.

I was introduced to Dean and the MW Bootcamp by a friend, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.

From the very first bootcamp session, the energy was immaculate and you meet great people of all abilities. The workouts are tough but genuinely enjoyable, and it’s a cracking way to start the day. Dean puts you through your paces, keeps the sessions varied, and makes sure you’re always pushing that little bit further than you thought you could.

Since then, I’ve also been doing 1-1 sessions with Dean, and this is where the real transformation has kicked in. He constantly challenges me to beat my own mind, stay consistent, and refine my technique, and I’m already seeing and feeling the benefits in my strength and fitness. Dean manages to strike the right balance between supportive and no-nonsense. He listens, but he doesn’t let you talk yourself out of doing the work. Every session feels purposeful, and you walk away knowing you’ve given your best.

I would recommend Dean and the MW Bootcamp to anyone who wants real results and is ready to be pushed in the right way. Thank me later.

We have just had Dean in our school for the second year in a row and we had a great time. Dean worked with children from Foundation Stage through to year 6 and every child came away with a huge smile on their faces wanting to do more push ups. Thank you for another great event.

Joined Dean’s bootcamp 5 weeks ago and honestly thought I wouldn’t survive the first session. I was 83kg, couldn’t run half a kilometre without feeling like I needed an ambulance, and my diet basically consisted of “guesswork and snacks.”

Fast forward to now: I’m 75kg, running 5k without stopping (who even am I?!), and actually eating like a grown-up should.
Dean hasn’t just helped me physically, but mentally too — he somehow makes you believe you can do it, even when your brain is screaming “no chance.”
Big thanks to Dean for helping me change my life. If he can get me running and eating broccoli, imagine what he could do for you!

I’ve been attending the boot camp group sessions run by Dean for several years, and I can honestly say they’ve been life-changing. Each session is carefully tailored to suit individual goals and fitness levels, which makes it suitable for everyone — whether you’re just starting out or already active.

Since joining, I’ve achieved and maintained my fitness goals and a healthy BMI, all thanks to Dean’s guidance and motivation. He’s a friendly, professional trainer with a real passion for helping others reach their full potential.

If you’re looking for a supportive, results-driven fitness community, I can’t recommend Miniwarriors enough!

Mini Warriors always creates such a buzz around the school. We have had Dean in three times now to our school and we will continue to welcome him back. All children benefit from his sessions so it is a great use of sports premium budget.

Dean came to our school to lead Mini Warrior sessions with our Y2-6 classes and they absolutely loved it. They were physically and mentally challenged and the children were encouraged to develop team work and resilience skills. We would welcome Dean back to our school!

Dean came into our school as part of our sports week. He ran bootcamp fitness sessions with years 2-6 and some tug of war competitions at the end. He really motivated our children to try their best but also took them out of their comfort zones! The sessions were well organised and very inclusive. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter has been attending mini warriors for the last 2 months and she has definitely shown signs of strength. Dean has lots of variety of challenging activities for training. The kids made my daughter feel very welcome since joining. The sessions are well designed and Dean always ensures training is carried out in the correct form and is encouraging with the children. I wish I knew about this sooner! It’s great for physical and mental health.

A tremendous experience for our children on respect, positive values and hard work! Dean has successfully transformed his past experiences into a valuable learning opportunity for young people who not also absolutely enjoyed participating in his bootcamp session, but learned valuable life skills that we champion at school. I would 100% recommend Dean and Mini Warriors to every school in the country for a superb enrichment opportunity that will offer children fun and show them the importance of respect and hard work! Many thanks for a wonderful experience Dean, we will see you soon!

This is the 3rd year we have had Dean bring Mini Warriors sessions to our school and again, he did not disappoint.
Each year he changes the activities and adapts each session relevant to the children and specific cohort. He prides himself on ensuring the sessions from the get go have resilience, discipline, teamwork and fun at the centre of what he provides.
Three years ago, Dean’s values in terms of what he wants to educate children in terms of their health and well-being and general development as a young person, really resonated with us as a school and they continue to do so today.
Each year I have staff ask is Dean coming back and have we got the Mini Warriors ‘guy’. This is because his sessions aren’t only fun but teach the children elements of development that can be translated into the classroom and every day life, respect being a huge one.
Another successful block of sessions and I can’t wait to welcome Mini Warriors back as soon as possible.

Thank you Dean

We were thrilled to welcome Mini Warriors to our school as part of Sports Week, and they did not disappoint! Their sessions were energetic, engaging, and perfectly tailored to our pupils' ages and abilities. The coaches delivered activities that not only got everyone active but also promoted teamwork, resilience, and confidence.
The children absolutely loved the variety of challenges. It was fantastic to see pupils of all abilities joining in, supporting one another, and having fun in a safe, encouraging environment.
Dean was professional, well-organised, and made sure every child felt included. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and their positive approach really helped inspire our pupils to push themselves.
We would highly recommend Mini Warriors to any school looking to add an exciting, high-energy experience to their sports provision.

Big thanks to Dean from Mini Warriors for his visit to our school's sports week.

His visit involved a strict army routine involving tug of war, high intensity work outs and lots of press ups for the children - and staff!

The children absolutely loved it - Y6s stated "it really brings out your true strength" and "it was horrible, but fun and once you finished it was a sense of achievement".

Dean asked all teachers if there were any children with any needs or any who needed a gentler approach.

Finally, Dean taught our whole school from F1 to Y6. He realised that some of our class sizes were small and combined them together to allow for an extra group for children to have an extra session. This extra session was very popular.

Great way to spend part of the school pe funding

A great day delivered by Dean today as part of our sports week programme. Well planned sessions with high quality delivery. It is the 4th time we have had Dean come to deliver the Mini Warriors programme and can honestly say it one of a kind.

Focused on team work and collaboration, the opportunity is not to be missed.

Thanks again Dean

We recently used Mini Warriors at one of our community fun days and we are already looking at when we can utilise Dean again.
His engagement and enthusiasm with our community members was outstanding and the feedback we have received from both parents and young people regarding his session has been amazing.
Not only does Dean encourage the community to be fit and active but he also adds elements of challenge and determination into his sessions. His sessions are also unique which gets people trying something new and the way he presents himself is fantastic.
His energy and encouragement throughout the sessions really does inspire his participants to get stuck in and overcome any obstacles.
We can't wait to welcome Mini Warriors back to the Trust at our future community fun days as well as at our holiday camps. 

We invited Dean into our school to take our KS2 children through a Bootcamp. The children had a fantastic day showing resilience, determination and team work. Lots of smiling happy face and finished off with a massive tug of war.

After suffering for 20 years with muscle weakness, poor balance, and chronic fatigue (to name a few) caused by fibromyalgia, I decided to start training with Dean. These sessions have changed my life. I am stronger and more energetic. My balance has improved drastically, and I feel more steady, stable, and confident in each movement I make. Rather than struggling, I am able to complete my daily tasks with ease due to my increased strength. I have been training with Dean for a year, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my physical and mental health and well-being. These sessions are something I look forward to every week. Even though they can be challenging, the improvements I’ve made excite me about my future progress and what I can achieve. This is all thanks to Dean, who has supported and encouraged me every step of the way. Dean took the time to understand my condition and my limits, which I greatly appreciate. He continuously finds ways to overcome any physical difficulties I face, allowing me to make consistent progress. He inspires confidence in me to try new things and creates a safe environment to do so. He is a compassionate, empathetic individual who genuinely cares about people and is dedicated to helping them reach their fullest potential. I never imagined I could achieve what I have so far, but with Dean’s guidance, I’ve discovered that I am capable of far more than I ever thought possible.

I highly recommend Dean’s services to anyone committed to improving their physical health. Regardless of your abilities, he will tailor the session to you and empower you through the process. 👴🏻
