DAN

I'm Dan, the founder and coach behind Team MBD. I work with elite athletes and everyday clients to build the physique, mindset, and lifestyle they're truly capable of, with a particular passion for guiding contest prep athletes from their first show through to the highest levels of the sport. My background - My path into coaching wasn't a conventional one. I began my career in cybersecurity with a background in computer science, a field that demanded precision, analytical thinking, and a methodical, data-driven approach to problem-solving. That mindset still shapes how I coach today, even if the career path looks very different now.In 2016, I found training. What started as a way to decompress from the demands of a technical career quickly became something far more meaningful. By 2018, bodybuilding had taken hold not only as a physical pursuit but as an outlet for my mental health. It gave me structure when I needed it, focus when life was noisy, and a sense of measurable progress that few other things in my life were able to provide.In 2022, I stepped on stage for the first time as a competitor myself. Since then, I've gone on to help clients win multiple titles at the highest levels of the sport, including British titles, World titles, and Pro Cards. I'm Dan, the founder and coach behind Team MBD.

LIZZY

I’m Lizzy, Head Female Coach at Team MBD and an IFBB Pro Figure athlete. I’ve competed at the highest level of the sport myself, and I bring that experience to every woman I coach, guiding them through training, nutrition, and prep with an understanding that only comes from having stood on that stage. My background - Like a lot of women, I started out in the gym just trying to be the smallest version of myself. That changed when I found powerlifting, it shifted my mindset from shrinking to building, and it’s where I picked up so much of my training knowledge. I coached myself to my first full power meet and placed 2nd, then competed twice more, placing 2nd and 3rd.After that I needed a new challenge, and bodybuilding became it. I quickly learnt just how much mental and physical strength it takes to put a great package on stage and how much harder that journey can be as a female athlete navigating off-season, prep and post-show for the first time. That’s exactly where I come in as Head Female Coach.I want to work with women who are passionate about their goals and their own self-improvement, and to make sure they feel supported and understood every step of the way because I know they can achieve whatever they put their mind to. Whether that’s lifestyle improvements, stepping on stage for the first time, or chasing the dream of holding a pro card of their own.

STEWIE

I’m Stewie, posing and prep coach at Team MBD. I work with competitors to ensure that when they step on stage, every ounce of work they’ve put in is evident, from peak-week conditioning to the lines, transitions, and posing that distinguish a good package from a winning one. My background - My path started in combat sports. I’d been in the gym since I was 15, but it was fighting that first taught me what it means to chase something relentlessly. When lockdown forced me out of the sport for a while, my fitness journey truly began, and that moment set the trajectory for everything I do now.I started coaching properly in 2021. What pushed me into it was an injury that left me partially paralysed, meaning the only way left to live out my own dream of the stage was through the athletes I work with. That drive to be the best has never left me. I’m always reading, always learning, and always applying what I take in. Over the past four to five years, it’s earned me a level of accolade that takes many coaches a decade to reach, and as far as I’m concerned,, my journey is only just beginning.

The Posholi Project was built on two passions: fitness and storytelling. Inspired by the discipline learned through years of training, I create authentic photography and videography that helps athletes, businesses and brands share their story, build genuine connections and leave a lasting impression.
