See what people are saying…
5 Stars !!!!! Fantastic, knowledgeable, supportive, professional, motivational, and inspirational are just a few words that describe Dan and House Call Personal Training!!!
Suzie G. - West View - Age 60
When we started, I was largely sedentary and struggled to climb stairs or walk my dog around the block. Since then, I have lost over sixty pounds while developing healthy and sustainable eating and exercise habits. I have a renewed energy and excitement, and I am still amazed at how good it feels to walk around the block with no pain in my back, hips, or legs.
Andrew S. - Morningside - Age 37
Dan has been an excellent trainer and nutrition coach. I was stuck with my weight loss and since starting with him I have lost 10lbs in less than 2 months and 3% body fat. I am down a pant size! He is also doing barbell training with me for muscle building in addition to weight loss. Dan has been encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable throughout this process. Highly recommend!
Ashley B. - Canonsburg - Age 31
Dan’s explained how our training plan targets specific muscle groups for my personal goals for a guy in his 60s, Ironman triathlete living with low back pain, and declining overall balance and strength at my age. For me, a real tangible benefit about working with Dan has been he actively listens to my feedback and has made real time adjustments to the training routine as needed to keep me on track. Actual ‘personal training’ in other words.

Daniel Hill
Owner and Operator
My name is Daniel Hill, owner and operator of House Call Personal Training. After years of working in gyms, going to gyms, and training friends, I came to realize that there was an untapped group of people that needed guidance on their fitness journey.
The gym can be an intimidating place. Getting to the gym when you have a busy work schedule or kids can be nigh impossible. If you have difficulty getting around due to limited mobility, that also presents a problem. If you lack discipline and your trainer is across town, it becomes awfully easy to turn left and head home after work instead of turning right and heading to the gym.
It was realizing there was no existing solution for people in these situations that birthed the idea for House Call Personal Training. I want to bring the life-changing experience of changing your body, becoming more confident, and leading a healthy lifestyle into people’s homes with a personal touch that online services can’t match from the other side of the screen.
Using my 17 years of exercise experience, the discipline I learned from my time as a Reconnaissance Marine, and my education as a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Corrective Exercise Specialist, I want to show you that you can take control of your body and mind to achieve what you may not think was possible.
