MEET
THE TRAINERS!
Dan and Lanie are a husband and wife team of certified personal trainers that were lucky to find two passions in life. One leading to the other.
About Lanie
When I first started my fitness journey, I had no idea how to start. I have fallen for those fad diets and detox teas and thought if I did a million sit-ups, all the college weight would just drop off my waist.
It took a couple of years after that of never feeling good, hardly having any energy, and barely sleeping through the night (and still holding on to a little college weight) before I decided things needed to change.
Shortly after starting this new lifestyle, I began to have medical professionals tell me that they felt my frame was "too petite" for my job as a Zookeeper. I was not about to let my size determine if I should be doing one of the things I was passionate about, so I began to work on my strength, and I proved to myself that I could do it.
After picking my buddy’s brain every day, I slowly began my journey to become stronger and live a healthier lifestyle. Every night I would go home after work and research everything I could about creating a healthier version of myself, starting with the food I was eating and a simple gym routine. And every day I would go back and ask my friend more questions about what I had just learned.
If it weren’t for my friend cheering me on, answering all my questions, and telling me that I can do It (as well as a lot of determination), I wouldn’t have gotten where I am today.
I became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer to help you in the same way my friend helped me. To answer all your questions, to be your biggest cheerleader, help you reach your goals, and to help you find a healthier you!
About Dan
I have been an athlete for my entire life. Golf and soccer have been my two biggest athletic passions, but I have been competitive with nearly every kind of sport (I even won back-to-back intramural championships in innertube basketball while in college).
After college, I gained nearly 40lbs while trying to find my way without playing sports several nights per week.
I was incredibly fortunate to work my way into a career in exotic animal care and I saw my weight drop below a healthy weight for a man my size. At that point, I used the gym as a way to keep my body in a condition to handle the manual labor required for my job.
Now, years later, I use fitness in addition to performance training to keep myself in shape for my daily life as well for any sports league I can sign up for.
I am excited to use my knowledge as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer as well as my background in sports to help anyone trying to get back into the game or elevate themselves to the next level!
