Working with Dean over the past year has been a game-changer for me as an aspiring competitive bodybuilder. Before we started, I had the drive and work ethic, but I lacked structure, strategy, and the level of detail required to truly level up. Since then, I’ve made the kind of progress that speaks for itself serious gains in muscle mass, strength, conditioning, and overall performance.

What really separates Dean is the level of professionalism and precision behind everything we do. Training, nutrition, recovery every variable is accounted for and constantly adjusted based on how my body responds. There’s no guesswork. Just a clear, calculated plan designed for long-term growth and stage-ready results.

On top of that, he brings a mindset and standard that pushes me to operate like a true athlete, not just someone who lifts. That shift alone has made a massive difference. It’s not just about looking better, it’s about building a physique with intent, discipline, and a clear goal in mind.

We’ve built a strong foundation, and I can confidently say I’m in the best position I’ve ever been in physically and mentally to chase down my goal of being an IFBB pro. I’m proud of the work we’ve done, and even more excited about where we’re going next.

If you’re serious about bodybuilding whether you’re aiming to compete or just want to maximize your potential Dean is the coach you want in your corner.

Love you brother appreciate you big time!

“With Dean in 3 months I got confident that this relationship will last ages. He doesn't jump into programming or diet plans just by looks or measures but fully detailed blood works to know exact hormone and organ functions before he plans your meals.

Dean monitors every aspect of things to a point my IG stories to note my feelings, stress or cravings. Dean is not a coach actually he came in my life as a blessing!!! My health makers have never been so good, hormonal, organs and gut functions to its optimal, to a point we did a show winning the overall in Fiji with 12hrs peak only! Thank you DJLPRO COACHING we got a long way to go and lots to achieve.”

“I started with DJL with the intention of bringing a competitive physique to the 2024 NZifbb season. Though I had competed previously,  this was my first experience working with a coach and I have absolutely no regrets. With Jas’s coaching, guidance & detailed training/nutrition plan I was able to do just that; 2 x regional class wins & 2nd place in my class at nationals. I believe that with Jas by my side I do have the potential to go Pro in the near future. Jas’s ambition, her work ethic, her mindset, her knowledge and her genuine belief in me as an athlete is something I will be forever grateful for. The support you receive from Jas and all the other DJL girls is next to none.”

I started working with Jasmine in January 2025, at a time when I was struggling not only to get back into bodybuilding prep but also with life in general. From the very beginning, she took the time to ask in-depth questions about my health and wellbeing, making sure everything was tailored to me.

Having previously dealt with thyroid and kidney issues, I was relieved to see those concerns are now all back to normal! I’m so glad I chose Jasmine to be my coach as she’s not missed a single beat for my check ins. She’s been on point with every single check-in, always making sure I’m on the right supplements and adjusting things when needed. My health has never been better.

Her communication is clear, she understands the female body, and the training feedback she gives makes a difference. I’ve never had a female coach before, but Jasmine’s work ethic and dedication have exceeded my expectations.

I’ll let the results speak for themselves.

“I've been working with DJL for 6+ months, this is my first coaching experience and it's truly been a 10/10. One word to describe Dean is CONSISTENT! He's got my plan tailored to a T, from health checks, routine, diet, supplements etc - I can't emphasize the amount of time and energy he puts into me. DJL led me to my IFBB debut this year, 100% my best package to date, taking 1st place Jnr Men BB at Nats and I honestly couldn't have done it without his mentorship. 

To my Brother Dean and Jasmine, thank you both for being real & so down to earth to me, my partner & family. You've made my journey so enjoyable and amped my passion 10x more, pumped for this off season to see what we can bring for my next show.”

I’m so incredibly grateful for Jas. She has coached me through an entire offseason and now into prep, currently just three weeks out from my first bodybuilding show!!

 I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Jas has been amazing every step of the way. She truly knows what she’s doing and has completely transformed my physique.

What sets Jas apart is not just her expertise, but the unmatched support she provides. From quick replies, to sending voice messages, to always following through and genuinely caring, she goes above and beyond. I’ve felt supported every single day of this journey, and that has made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.❤️

I joined DJL Pro Coaching in October 2024, and the progress I’ve made in such a short time has been incredible. Jas has supported me through every step — physically, mentally, and emotionally. My confidence has skyrocketed, I’ve built a healthy relationship with food, and for the first time in years, my period is consistent and pain-free. I’m absolutely loving my training program and feel stronger than ever. Jas is always there with expert knowledge, genuine support, and unwavering encouragement. I couldn’t ask for a better coach!
