The Yoda at BodyFitz who doubles up as a Lead Trainer
A dedicated athlete, coach and educator, Dan opened Bodyfitz in July, 2001 as an extension of his philosophy to share his passion for fitness, health and recreation with others. He played football for the University of Connecticut Huskies and pursued a coaching career in high school track and football while teaching physical education. Dan loves the sport of cycling and triathlon, and has competed for years in both. None of this would be possible nor enjoyable without the total body conditioning that he puts himself through.
The credo –“Train Smarter.Live Better” is Dan’s life personified that he looks to empower BodyFitz members to achieve as well.
