I am here to help you achieve your fitness, nutrition & lifestyle goals. I completed the NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), CHEK Institute Holistic Lifestyle Coach level 1 (incl. program design & primal movements), STRONG First Kettlebell & Barbell certified, and AFPA Master Level Nutrition Consultant Certification, and I am certified & trained in CPR/AED first aid. I finished all four certifications at AFPA including nutrition & wellness, weight management, sports nutrition and holistic nutrition. I am planning on working on the CHEK Institute Holistic Lifestyle Coach level 2 and possibly the CHEK Exercise Coach program next. I have played many sports all my life - and still play some - and at one point, I was a semi-pro Volleyball player and actually part of the team that won the Swiss Indoor Volleyball Cup. That was a lot of fun and I learned how far one can go by working out hard and staying dedicated. I am also an expert skier and love the outdoors such as hiking, cross-country skiing, camping,...you name it.

Client Success Story

Jerry said in March 2020: "I contacted Danny over a year ago to help me with fitness, diet, weight attainment. Danny dove right in and reviewed my habits, checked my refrigerator and cupboards and we got busy. After about 9-10 months, I had lost nearly 40 lbs. Better than that, when I went to my physician for my annual physical, she asked if she had put me on any medications from last year. I said, "No." And then she asked what I had been doing over the last year as she noted my weight had dropped and my blood pressure was excellent. My lipid panel and blood panels were all excellent and she even took my off of my low dosage of hypertension medication. My physician told me that she wished all of her patients were doing as well as I was. Thanks to Coach Danny, I am living a much healthier lifestyle and feel great. Thank you, Danny!!!" Jon S. said in August 2018: "In early July after a not-so-positive health report from my doctor I contacted Danny. We had met at a networking function and he had let me know SHC and its services. I signed up for consulting and report that explained my body type and what foods I should be eating and foods I should avoid. I also signed up for 1:1 sessions to go over activities, exercise regimen, and strategies for reaching my goals. Well it is 4 weeks later and I am feeling great. Really great! I have a lot more energy, sleeping well at night, exercising daily, and I bought clothes this week that are three sizes smaller then when I first met with Danny just a month ago. The coaching and ideas Danny delivers are not a quick fix but a life long path to health and well being. I am extremely happy with my results and expect more to come as I continue down this path. Danny, Thank you!!"

Coach Danny has done an amazing job with my two sons...teaching them the fundamentals of strength and cardio training including stretching and nutrition. Danny is thoughtful and always follows up with us if there are any questions or concerns. You can't go wrong with coach Danny for fitness and nutritional training!

Thanks to Danny's unique approach to fitness I'm able to achieve much healthier life style, loose weight and drastically improve my posture.
Thanks to Danny's coaching I realized that the food I was eating was not the best for my overall well being. Now I read carefully all food labels and only buy organic and non GMO food items. Danny's coaching allowed me to change eating habits and loose weight. Danny's coaching on the fitness level allows me to have proper posture and balance. I'm so happy to get rid of pain in my spine and knee thanks to Danny's great approach to the core strength, proper balance and joints range of motion improvement.
Thank you very much Danny. Great job.

Danny has and is my workout/fitness instructor for the past three years.

His knowledge and expertise provide him with the skills to customize a regime that fits me. Don't get me started on the nutrition, he has that down too - great recipes and general nutritional guidance.

As time went by, the conditioning took hold so did the training - things were always challenging but to just the right amount.

Highly recommend Danny the coach to anyone !!

I have worked with Danny as my personal trainer for three years. He has done a great job with creative workouts that match my skill sets and pushes me enough so that I see improvements on a regular basis.

I always look forward to our workouts and often inquire about health and workout advice.

I enjoy Danny’s circuit training class. It’s challenging but fun. He really focuses on proper form and takes the time to coach you through the class.
