What Happened to Personal Trainer After Dragons’ Den?

Personal Trainer appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 6. The business was a device recording data from workouts into personal computers. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Dave Raewlinson walked into the Den in 2005 with a device recording data from workouts into personal computers. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Dave Raewlinson left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Personal Trainer is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2005, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Personal Trainer Still in Business?

Yes. Personal Trainer appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
