When Daniel Burke joined Evolution Fitness in November 2024, he had big goals—to become fitter, stronger, and complete his first marathon by the end of the year.
Now, just a few months in, Daniel is proving that hard work, consistency, and the right support can make all the difference. His progress has been nothing short of incredible—he’s getting stronger every week, smashing his running targets, and recently crushed the Tralee 10-Miler, finishing well ahead of his goal time in freezing conditions.
More Than He Expected
Daniel came in looking for a place that would help him train hard and progress, but what he found was so much more.
“Evolution has been a far better experience than I could ever have imagined. The staff are so nice and helpful, and they are always very encouraging so that each individual can get the most out of each class.”
Training alongside others at 6AM, pushing himself with every session, and being part of a community that supports his goals has made a massive impact.
Fitter, Stronger, and Happier
Since joining, Daniel has completely transformed both his mindset and his body.
“I have become a much happier, healthier version of myself. I have also achieved so many of my fitness goals, which I could have never imagined.”
That’s the power of consistency. He doesn’t just show up—he puts in the work, and he’s seeing huge results because of it.
Proud of the Progress
Daniel’s success isn’t just about hitting goals—it’s about building a lifestyle that keeps him moving forward.
“I am most proud of the constant consistency that Evolution has brought into my life and how the gym has helped me achieve many of my goals and fitness milestones. None of this would be possible without the support of the very helpful staff.”
The Biggest Challenge? Taking the First Step
Daniel knows what holds most people back—it’s that first step.
“The biggest challenge that I and many face is the very first step—putting yourself forward and signing up. It takes a lot of courage, but I’m so happy I did because it has positively changed my lifestyle.”
For so many, starting is the hardest part. But once you do, everything becomes easier.
Looking Ahead: The Marathon Goal
Daniel’s sights are now set on completing his first marathon by the end of the year.
“Due to my consistent training in the gym and my increased fitness, I am on track to complete the marathon by the end of the year.”
This is exactly what structured training, proper coaching, and consistency can do—it turns big goals into reality.
His Advice for Anyone Thinking About Starting
For those still hesitating to take that first step, Daniel’s advice is simple:
“Start your fitness journey with Evolution Fitness. The staff are so friendly and encouraging, no matter where you are on your fitness journey.”
No matter your starting point, having the right support and environment makes all the difference.
