Client Testimonials

  • "Danielle has the best personality and it shined on social media and whenever I ran into her at the gym. She is welcoming, but also you can tell she lives the life style she conveys online. She is passionate about her work and also maintains a healthy lifestyle herself."

    Mari Slobounov

  • "Since working with Danielle, I have felt stronger, more confident, and my energy throughout the day has increased."

    Claudia Falcon

  • "I chose to pursue Danielle as my personal trainer because I wanted to start strength training more seriously and have a consistent plan rather than jumping from one workout to the next."

    Natalie Wolkoff

  • "Since working with Danielle, I lost 5 pounds in 4 weeks, feel confident in my own skin and I feel strong."

    Mari Slobounov

  • "Dani was my trainer at Anytime Fitness during group sessions. She has helped me so much in my fitness and mental health journey and centers each individual work plan around the goals and needs of her clients. Dani has helped me transform my mindset in terms of body image and nutrition. I am no longer afraid to enjoy a full meal, and I am continuing to understand the importance of treating my body with the care and love it deserves."

    Alicia Walker

  • "I definitely feel a lot stronger. I have noticed some body recomposition and looking more toned. I also love that we can be so honest with each other. It can be hard to not focus on how we look all of the time, but you have made me see the value of working out for my overall health not just for my appearance. This is still a work in progress but I feel so grateful to be open about this with you and hear your insights."

    Natalie Wolkoff

  • "My body and strength has changed immensely! When we first started working together my mobility was not great (like deep squat, deadlift or split squat) and now my range of motion is 10 times better. I had shoulder issues on my right side and Dani programmed exercises that have since made that issue all gone, which I didn't think was possible."
