Revival Fitness & Rehabilitation
Revival Fitness & Rehabilitation was founded in 2019 by Daniel Cracknell in Christchurch, NZ. After moving to New Zealand in 2018, it was obvious there was a need for more specialist allied health professionals in the health and fitness sector. Revival Fitness was established to provide complete care for people who don’t have their needs met within the traditional system for fitness and performance. Providing a holistic approach using a wide ranging knowledge from injury & anatomy to exercise training and human biomechanics, Revival Fitness is designed to meet people where they are right now and see them through to the completion of their health and fitness goals.
Daniel is a passionate athlete having competed in many running events from 10km up to 100km and triathlon. Endurance sports are an amazing challenge for the body and mind and it blows me away how special we are to cope with these demands. There is also a journey that is required to get to a place of healthy sustained athletic competence and I love taking those steps with clients.
Daniel Cracknell BSc Sport Rehabilitation, NZQA Qualified Personal Trainer
Graduating from St Mary’s University College, London UK, in 2008 with a degree in Sport Rehabilitation I worked for 2 years as a therapist building up private clients and contracting work for sports clubs. I was the primary rehabilitation therapist for Hampton and Richmond FC and provided on-call support for Harlequins RFC and Ealing Trailfinders RFC. Through this time I got to understand the demands of Elite team sport and the pressures of maximising support and care to individuals within a community context.
At the end of 2009 I started working at Profeet Ltd, under the training of Hamish Wolfenden (MSc Biomechanics), specialising gait biomechanics and footwear solutions. Over the following 10 years I became an expert in movement analysis and running form, providing custom exercise advice and footwear/insole treatment to keep people pain free and able to achieve their goals. Profeet sportslab specialised in marathon and ultramarathon support working with athletes of all abilities to achieve their goals. This included working with our ambassador team of Ultramarathon runners, who were highly successful.
Seeking a new challenge and moving to New Zealand I gained formal certification in Personal Training prior to setting up this coaching business. Working with both individuals and groups helps to provide accessible support to all athletes to meet their goals.
