Happy Clients
"I can truly say that Danielle is a great trainer whether you are naturally into physical activity or you have no idea where to begin! I had the privilege of being one of her clients and she blew me away! She is knowledgeable in the areas of health and fitness, and will answer any questions you may have from nutrition, how the muscles work in certain exercises and even specifics during workouts. She is detailed in her explanations and is easy to comprehend even if you don’t have any gym experience. it is always a positive experience working out with her in the gym. She is uplifting, encouraging, and will even do the exercises along side you if that’s what you need! What I love most about Danielle is her persevering approach to fitness, the care she has for all of her clients, and her positivity! For me personally, I struggled with going to the gym but Danielle created an atmosphere that made me feel at ease with the equipment and the exercises. I highly recommend her no matter where you are at in your fitness journey!"

"Danielle is a great personal trainer. She is very personable and knows how to push without pushing. The workouts were always as fun as they could be and she was always willing to demonstrate, if a demonstration was warranted, or switch up the exercise. Sometimes a specific workout would cause a prior injury to flare up and she always had a backup or alternate exercise to fall back on. She was very in touch with the balance between eating right and working out correctly, there is a wrong way to work out. I will say she does her burpees all wrong but was very willing to compromise. I know a few health and wellness experts and Danielle by far is the best bang for your buck. I would have ZERO problem referring her to anyone I know."

"I enjoyed working with Danielle during group strength training at Forward Fitness and Performance. She was always very encouraging and genuinely concerned about each client’s health and fitness. I really appreciated her knowledge of fitness and her ability to modify the exercise program in the event of an injury. She was also very proactive with providing helpful stretching and mobility guidance along with extensive resources and information. Her positive attitude and bubbly personality made each workout something to look forward to."

"Body by Dee!! Where do I begin?! Danielle is such an amazing trainer and person inside and out! I’ve always been the athletic type and working with her really brought out the best in me. I hadn’t focused on weight lifting in a while and she ignited a passion for it in me I didn’t know existed. She really knew how to break everything down for me and we also had so much fun in the process. We have since moved away but after moving I decided to start cross fit for the first time and I was able to jump right in to the workouts and have picked up things rather quickly. I credit Dee for a lot of my success and for helping with my foundation and love for the new stronger me!"

"My husband and I had the privilege of training under Danielle for over one year. It’s baffling to us how she made us look forward to our workouts and the improvement we saw in our strength after each session. Danielle is gifted in encouraging others to reach their potential. Her vast knowledge of overall health would benefit anyone. We highly recommend Danielle!"

"Body by Dee has changed my life. I used to hate the idea of going to the gym and lifting weights for two reasons; 1) I didn’t know what to really do, 2) I didn’t fit in. I was the thin runner among all the gym guys with the physiques I dreamed of. Then came Dee, She not only took the time to teach me how to lift and what muscles to target, she also taught me to be proud of the Journey I was on. She developed a plan that was perfect for me and my busy schedule, and always checked in to see how things were working out. Her plans are designed for each individual person, not a cookie cutter. She is concerned about how you and your workouts feel, and she cares. If you’re not happy she’s not happy and will work with you until you are where you want to be. 5 weeks into my program and I feel like a whole new person, I have fallen in love with the gym and working out. I feel like I belong in the gym, and I even get asked for pointers from others when I am there. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Body by Dee. I can’t wait to really wow folks this summer with how much I have changed. Thanks!"

“When I hit a point in my life where I felt overweight, insecure about my appearance, and had no idea where to start when it came to proper nutrition, I was able to reach out to Dee for my own personalized training and nutrition program. Unlike a majority of generic programs seen online today, Dee actually sat down with me, one-on-one, and provided guidance that was specific for my lifestyle and body type. I think most importantly though, Dee constantly reached out to me with such positive energy and optimism to ensure I was staying on my path towards my goals, which ultimately kept me motivated. Dee helped me transform my bad habits into the healthy lifestyle I still live today. I highly recommend Body by Dee to anyone who wants to transform their body and overall well being!”
