movement made for you.

Experience 100% virtual, personalized functional fitness designed for your unique anatomy, history, and goals. By combining rehabilitation-informed techniques with intelligent movement, my expert-led sessions focus on longevity and mobility to help you move, feel, and live better—wherever you are.

  • I’m glad you found me! I’m Dani, an Exercise Therapy Specialist and Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant with over 16 years experience in fitness and rehabilitation.

    As a mother to two young daughters (ages 4 and 5), I personally understand the beautiful, chaotic reality of a busy life. Perfection is never my goal —consistency and functional health are. I offer a supportive space for those trying to balance self-care with the demands of family and work.

  • Coming Soon

  • I focus on whole-body integrity and long-term strength. My virtual sessions specialize in:

    • Therapeutic Exercise & Injury Prevention

    • Functional Movement & Alignment

    • Pre/Postnatal & Pelvic Floor Support

  • Starting my career at 19, I have worked with everyone from Division 1 athletes to patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries. My deep clinical background in orthopedics allows me to provide a level of "intelligent movement" that goes far beyond a standard workout.

    Whether you are navigating injury, pregnancy, or the pursuit of athletic goals, I’ll help you reconnect with your body and build sustainable strength from the inside out.

  • One of the best parts of functional fitness is that we use your natural environment to build strength. You don’t need an expensive home gym to see professional results.

    The Essentials

    • A Reliable Connection: A smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a working camera so I can provide real-time feedback.

    • A Small Clear Space: Just enough room to lay out a yoga mat or move your arms and legs freely.

    Recommended (But Not Required)

    • Yoga Mat: Provides cushioning for floor work and better grip for balance.

    • Resistance Bands: These are affordable, space-saving, and the gold standard for rehabilitation and stability work.

    • Light Dumbbells: A single pair of light weights can significantly expand your strength options.

  • Many people wonder if virtual training can be as effective as in-person sessions. When movement is intelligent and personalized, the results aren't just comparable—they are often better.

    With Functional Fitness, your real life is the gym. Functional Fitness is about moving better in your actual environment. By training in your own home, we optimize the space where you spend 90% of your time, using the tools and furniture you already have to build lasting habits.

    As a mother to two young daughters (ages 4 and 5), I know that a 60-minute gym session often takes two hours when you factor in travel and childcare. Virtual sessions eliminate the commute, allowing you to bridge the gap between "busy parent" and "stronger self" in the time it takes to roll out a mat.

From My Clients

  • Within a few months, I was not out of breath anymore. I left like myself again.

    After major abdominal surgery in fall of 2021, I found myself out of breath in the grocery store and just up the stairs in my house. I started working with Dani who helped me gently heal my core muscles and improve my stamina. She was so kind, understanding, and reassuring. My goal was not to change my body or lose weight - I just wanted to feel good again and be able to run errands without huffing and puffing. Within a few months, I was not out of breath anymore. I left like myself again. I have been working with her ever since - almost 6 years now - and I am stronger than I have ever been and in great cardiac health. I am forever grateful to Dani for helping me!

  • She keeps me motivated and challenged.

    I started working with Dani 4 years ago. I had been working out on my own and was doing well but felt like I stopped progressing. I was specifically looking for help building muscle and getting stronger. Since working with her, I have more than doubled my strength. I love that she takes measurements regularly, keeps track of my progress, and is always creating new programs. She keeps me motivated and challenged. I always look forward to our sessions.

  • she is a positive force with a fabulous sense of humor.

    Dani has worked with me for more than 4 years, showing the most astounding concern for making certain my conditioning and health are in the best possible shape. I am 79 years old chronologically and feel much younger following Dani’s advice and suggestions. She helped me prepare for total hip replacement and then helped me recover in the shortest time. Dani always is completely focused on giving me the best possible care, knowing how hard to push without going too far. To complete the picture, she is a positive force with a fabulous sense of humor.

  • One of the greatest gifts she gave me was changing my relationship with fitness.

    I have had the privilege of working with Dani during two very different chapters of my life. In both cases, she provided the guidance, motivation, and expertise I needed.

    When I first started training with her, I was a complete beginner. My goals were to improve my overall health, lose weight, increase my mobility, and establish a sustainable fitness routine. She created a personalized program that was challenging without being intimidating and took the time to teach me proper form, build my confidence, and celebrate every milestone. What seemed impossible at first gradually became part of my lifestyle.

    One of the greatest gifts she gave me was changing my relationship with fitness. Before working with her, I had only set foot in a gym a handful of times. Today, I look forward to going to the gym four to five days a week. That transformation happened because she made fitness approachable, rewarding, and something I wanted to continue for the long term.

    Several years later, following open-heart surgery—I found myself needing to start over. I needed someone who understood how to safely rebuild my strength and endurance while respecting the limitations that come with heart disease. Once again, she met me where I was. She developed a thoughtful, progressive plan that helped me regain my confidence, rebuild my fitness, and return to a consistent workout routine at a pace that was both safe and effective.

    What sets Dani apart is her ability to adapt her coaching to the individual. Whether you’re a beginner or someone overcoming significant medical challenges, she knows how to create a program that is both motivating and realistic. She genuinely cares about her clients’ success and makes you feel supported every step of the way.

    I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated personal trainer.
