Personal Trainer Da Nang Physiotherapy

Personal Trainer Danang is a one-to-one strength-coaching service operated by Jeff Shaverian, also identified on the site as Phan Công Bình. Sessions take place principally at My An Sport Center in Da Nang and are available in English or Vietnamese. A related division, Danang Physical Therapy, provides movement-based injury evaluation and rehabilitation with the same practitioner.

The provider’s websites use the titles “fitness trainer” and “physical therapist.” They publish seven years of coaching and two years in rehabilitation, plus experience as a student physical-therapist intern at SSM Health Physical Therapy. They do not publish a completed physiotherapy degree, Vietnamese practice licence or professional registration number. This profile therefore reports the services and self-description without presenting the provider as a verified licensed physiotherapist.

Strength coaching and training goals

Personal Trainer Danang focuses on building muscle, reducing body fat, increasing strength and training around old injuries. Programmes use squat, hinge, press and pull patterns with progressive loading. The site says each client receives a written programme, meal plan and coached sessions rather than unrelated workouts.

Training is offered in blocks of four, eight or twelve weeks, normally with two to four sessions per week. Coached sessions last one hour. The plan can be useful for residents who want consistent programming and technique feedback, but it is a fitness service rather than medical treatment for obesity, metabolic disease or an eating disorder.

Tell the coach about previous surgery, cardiovascular illness, pregnancy, medication and current pain in the intake form. A movement screen can guide exercise selection, but it does not replace medical diagnosis where symptoms suggest disease or major injury.

Free trial and initial movement screen

The first training session is advertised as a free one-hour trial. It includes movement screening and an opportunity to experience the coaching style before purchasing a block. The process then moves through an intake form, written plan, coached sessions and progress tracking.

Bring clothing suitable for bending, squatting and lifting. Explain the main goal, current training frequency and movements that cause symptoms. The free session is not the same as a full injury evaluation through Danang Physical Therapy, so clarify which service is being booked.

After the trial, ask for the recommended frequency, total block cost, included gym access and cancellation terms in writing. Longer packages may reduce the per-session price, but a larger commitment should follow a satisfactory first session rather than promotional pressure.

Movement-based injury rehabilitation

Danang Physical Therapy describes a Kinesiopathological Model approach. The process begins with an intake form and a hands-on movement assessment of sitting, standing, bending, reaching and lifting. The provider then proposes a “kinetic diagnosis,” corrective exercise, symptom-management strategy and estimated number of sessions.

Published programmes cover movement-related back, neck, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle pain, as well as early hip or knee arthritis, overuse injuries, sports return and work-related pain. The model emphasises active practice, home exercise and gradually reloading movements.

This is different from confirming a medical diagnosis. Pain can come from infection, fracture, inflammatory disease, neurological conditions or other causes that movement testing alone cannot exclude. Ask what findings would trigger referral for imaging or a doctor’s examination.

For comparison with other services, see Vietnam Clinic’s physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres in Da Nang. Qualifications, clinical governance and scope vary, so compare credentials as well as the treatment philosophy.

Credentials and scope questions to ask

The provider’s “About” page states that Jeff was a student physical-therapist intern at SSM Health and describes ongoing self-directed learning. It does not state the name or year of a completed physiotherapy degree, licensing authority or registration. The absence of those details does not prove a lack of training, but it means Vietnam Clinic cannot verify them.

Before paying for injury treatment, ask for the exact qualification, issuing institution and current authority to practise physiotherapy in Vietnam. Also ask about professional insurance, record keeping, consent and the pathway for medical referral.

This distinction matters more for post-operative rehabilitation, neurological deficits and complex conditions than for ordinary fitness coaching. A surgeon or hospital may set restrictions that should be followed even if an exercise feels comfortable.

When a doctor should assess the problem first

The rehabilitation website itself advises medical review before booking for groin or buttock numbness, new bladder or bowel-control problems, worsening limb weakness, back pain with fever or unexplained weight loss, history of cancer, pain after major trauma and chest pain. It directs people to call 115 in an emergency.

Additional urgent signs include severe breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, rapidly increasing swelling, an obviously deformed limb or inability to bear weight after injury. Do not begin a free training trial to test these symptoms.

After surgery, bring the operation report and rehabilitation protocol. Confirm weight-bearing, range-of-motion and loading restrictions with the surgical team. If the provider recommends care outside the published scope, request referral rather than continuing through pain.

Nutrition and body-composition coaching

Every training block includes a meal plan described as being built around foods the client likes. The site also promotes an external meal-preparation service. This may support general fitness goals, but no dietitian qualification is published for the coach.

People with diabetes, kidney disease, gastrointestinal illness, pregnancy, a history of eating disorders or medically prescribed diets should seek appropriate clinical nutrition advice. A calorie or meal plan should not override medical restrictions. Ask how the plan is calculated and whether food allergies and cultural preferences are incorporated.

Progress tracking can include loads, body measurements and photographs. Clients should consent specifically to photographs and understand how they are stored or used. It is reasonable to decline images while still receiving coaching.

Prices, payment and cancellation

The current pricing page lists a single session at VND 800,000 and lower per-session prices for longer blocks: VND 700,000 for the four-week Foundation block, VND 650,000 for eight-week Evolution and VND 600,000 for twelve-week Peak. These figures should be confirmed because prices can change.

The provider publishes payment by VND or USD cash, card, Vietnamese or Wise QR, SWIFT transfer and USDT or USDC. Card payments carry a stated six-percent processing charge. Blocks are paid upfront and can be cancelled with a 20-percent fee; late-cancelled or missed sessions may be counted.

Read the “progress guarantee” conditions rather than treating it as a promised health outcome. The offer is based on measurements and participation and extends coaching in specified circumstances; it does not guarantee freedom from pain or a particular body shape.

Gym access, location and booking

Training and hands-on rehabilitation are published at My An Sport Center, Da Nang. Training blocks include gym membership for their duration, while clients may also request another gym that accepts external trainers. Travel or entry costs can differ at other locations.

The official WhatsApp number is +84 367 344 010, and the current email is jeff@nobsacademy.com. The earlier address jeffshaverian@gmail.com is no longer the contact shown on the live site. Booking begins by WhatsApp or the intake form and requires confirmation.

The website offers online programming through the No BS Academy app for travel and independent training. The hands-on injury assessment, however, is explicitly in person. Online fitness programming should not be confused with remote physiotherapy or emergency advice.

Choosing between coaching, rehabilitation and hospital care

Choose personal training when the main goal is strength, muscle, fat loss or lifting technique and there is no unresolved medical concern. Choose the rehabilitation evaluation for stable movement-related pain after reviewing the provider’s credentials and scope. Use a licensed medical facility when diagnosis, imaging, post-operative governance or urgent care is required.

The related services may make the transition from rehabilitation to strength training smoother, but one provider covering both roles does not eliminate the need for independent medical referral. The safest programme begins with the right level of assessment, then increases load only when symptoms and function support it.
