Dan Tai

Favourite Underwear: Trunks

Nationality/Hometown: Leeds, UK

Dan Tai, more like Dan Thigh! The ex rugby pro turned personal trainer, crossfit champ and IG Model has the most muscular legs we think we’ve ever seen. Complemented with a cheeky smile, olive skin and great beard, this muscle bound hunk is a must follow if you don’t already. Dan is a super easy going guy who absolutely loves to travel and have new experiences which is highlighted throughout his social accounts, so if you don’t somehow already get following.

Dan came on our Box USA Roadtrip in Texas in 2019, which happens to be his fave box moment whilst working with us! "Working with amazing photographers and models everyday honestly was amazing, and making friends with people I had only known over socials was incredible, honestly lifelong friends and love being part of the Box family."

The northern lad of Jamaican heritage started off as a pro rugby star who represented both Rochdale Titans and Great Britain. Unfortunately like many young and promising athletes his career was cut short due to injury. Instead letting this get him down, Dan pushed on initially becoming a personal trainer and then found himself amassing a large social media following leading him to become one of the sexiest models in the social media field. 

When he’s not modelling or travelling the World it’s pretty obvious where you can find Dan, yeah you guessed it, at the gym. As you can see on his IG profile the man loves his Crossfit, and is currently ranked  the 4th Fittest athlete in the UK 2021. Why not get a great deal of gymspiration and eye candy at the same time, 10/10 worth the follow. 

Dan speaks openly about his trials and tribulations during his professional Rugby career. He sat down with My Protein to discuss why injuries are not the end of your fitness journey, and it makes for a great read as well as inspirational! 

Let's not pin Dans physique solely on genetics, as it is clear he trains super hard day in, and day out. Why not listen to his podcast on Ben Coomber Radio about Genetics vs Hard work.
