THE PHILOSOPHY

Five more.
Then breathe.

“When your mind tells you to stop, sometimes you need someone beside you reminding you that you are capable of five more. When you need to recover, you breathe, reset, and prepare for what comes next. That is the philosophy behind every coaching experience.”

Progress does not require punishing workouts or feeling intimidated. It requires the right starting point, personalized guidance, consistent support, and a coach who knows when to challenge you and when to help you reset.

CLIENT STORIES

Real experiences from real clients.

Lisa M.

Danny was an amazing trainer! He listened to my goals and tailored my training program around my individual needs and limitations. Every session was different, which kept the workouts interesting while targeting all areas of my body. He also gave me helpful tips on nutrition and hydration to maintain my energy and stamina. I have lost two inches from my stomach and one inch from each thigh, and my arms are toned again. Yippee! I highly recommend Danny!

Yvonne M.

Danny is very consistent with both communications and the workouts. He always makes sure you are staying on top of the workouts. I started working out with Danny in September and from then till now, I proud to say I have lost 28 lbs and still going! I feel confident everytime I do my workouts at home and when I have my one on one with Danny. Thank you for everything Danny. You're the best!

Linda C.

I have trained with Danny for 12 years, beginning with his energetic Zumba classes and later through personal training. With Danny’s guidance, I have lost more than 30 pounds. At 65, and while managing a thyroid disorder, I am now in the best shape of my life. Danny creates challenging, personalized workouts that keep exercise fun while delivering maximum results. I highly recommend Five More and Breathe Fitness!
