About Coach Danea

She found that she loved exercise not for what it made her look like but for the person she became because of it.

Through years of being a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and teaching wellness seminars, Danea has found a huge heart and passion for people not only achieving physical transformations but experiencing mental and emotional transformations. Her expertise within exercise programming is in body weight workouts, interval training and strength training. She also loves snowboarding, running, rock climbing and dirt biking.
