Beginning his own fitness journey at age five on a baseball field in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles, where athleticism combined with hard work led Daniel to some little league championships by age ten. Over nearly forty years his life course has seen many ups and downs accompanied by different hobbies and sports including saxophone, art, writing, stunt rollerblading, dirt biking, martial arts, natural bodybuilding, professional poker, eight years as an amateur competition kickboxer, rock climbing, and almost a dozen running/ triathlon appearances. But aside from all of that Daniel found his true purpose in life when a career as a trainer at Equinox began 6 years ago enabling him to find great reward in helping others to achieve a similar passion for fitness and for life. Dozens of certifications later and several mentorships, along with thousands of in person sessions completed, he shows no interest in slowing down.
As a coach Daniel prides himself on his ability to help clients work through nagging aches and pains, whether sports/ workout related or issues related to sedentary lifestyle. In many cases he’s used his knowledge in mobility, corrective exercise and strength training to help his clients out of pain entirely. With his kickboxing background paired with weight lifting experience, Daniel is a versatile coach building programs that can range from fundamental day one strength all the way up to full blown athletic training. He is a jack of all trades and a one stop shop.
In 2021 Daniel met the love of his life Jana, where they traveled back and forth to Europe and America until a long distance relationship culminated in marriage. Sharing a passion for fitness, nature and health, Jana and Daniel hope to inspire as many people as possible using the Expect Elite online coaching platform as a conduit to the world.
Jana’s fitness journey began at age of six in Dorsten, Germany where she joined a track and field athletics team. She also spent many years riding horses; an activity that goes hand in hand with her love for animals and her commitment to a life as a vegetarian. Ballet and dance as a child helped her to acquire a flexible and athletic physique at a young age. In her teenage years she joined a gym to try her hand at strength training where group fitness and weight lifting led her to realize a passion for fitness and health. After becoming certified as a trainer and nutritionist in Germany, she continued her education and started to work as a sports therapist in a physical rehabilitation center. Mentoring for years under physical therapists, she built a solid foundation for her training career working with athletes recovering from injury and senior citizens recovering from joint replacement surgeries.
After falling in love with Daniel, Jana made some very tough sacrifices to move to America where many parts of her career started from scratch. Several American certifications later and a fresh start at Equinox as a trainer and she was back in the game making an impact in the lives of others in need yet again. Apart from her unique background in physical therapy and her flexibility and coordination from her years as a dancer, Jana also possesses tremendous upper body strength making her a naturally gifted climber. When not at the bouldering gym, or lifting weights, you can find Jana running a marathon or crawling through a mud run event. And when she’s not doing fitness you’ll find her glued to a computer screen with her kittens on her lap writing your programs with love and care, doing what she does best, helping others.
As a coach Jana prides herself on her ability to incorporate her experience as a physical therapists assistant to create a pain free workout environment for all ages and skill levels alike. From level 1 clients to very skilled and advanced individuals she possesses an abundance of programming versatility and creativity as well as her own personal experience as a vegetarian mak giving her an edge as a nutrition coach.
We understand that perfection is unattainable but striving to reach perfection, unreachable or not, can lead us to great possibilities. Regardless of age, or limitation, we promise to help athletes reach their true potential, and the general public to realize versions of themselves they never dreamt possible.
