Hi! I’m Danielle, the owner of MOVMNT Fitness. I’ve been a Personal Trainer, Performance Exercise Specialist, and Bootcamp instructor for over 8 years. My experience has taught me that exercise doesn’t have to be a chore, but can instead be incorporated into the life you love. Balance is what this is about and I’m all about getting outside, eating great food, and putting out maximum effort. I’m a firm believer in the phrase, “no excuses” and believe that you CAN make anything happen. Set goals, incorporate them into your daily life, and work towards them on a consistent basis.
