Since then, his experience and continued education have allowed him to expand his approach, focusing more on functional strength, corrective exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices.

Trainee Type:

Training Philosophy:

“It’s your path, I’m just here to help you find it. We’ll start with the basics, then we can see what you’re capable of.” -Daniel

Favourite Exercise:

At the gym, Daniel’s favorite exercise is a chin up crunch – a closed chain exercise that requires the coordinated engagement of many upper and lower body muscle groups. Outside the gym, Daniel loves trail running. For him, nature is healing and running is therapy.
