First, I want to get to know you and see what it is you are trying to accomplish. Next, I will evaluate your current level of fitness and set up a training program that best suits your needs to help you reach your goals. Then, the fun begins and we both get to witness your transformation, whether that be passing that fitness test, losing 20 pounds, finishing that 5k or half, or just having increased confidence and overall happiness & health.
I am very flexible and will cater to your needs; if running is too challenging we can adjust and incorporate biking, swimming, and other weight training exercises as needed to achieve results.
Most importantly, we will have fun and it is my job to make sure you have the most balanced program to increase your fitness and minimize injuries.

Coach Daniel is an amazing person to work with. He uses his experience to craft a training plan to get you to your goal without burning you out. I am already seeing dramatic improvements after only a few weeks of meeting with him. I am confident that I will hit my goal in under Daniel's guidance. Awesome coach overall; super friendly and personable.

He is a great coach. We spent 1 hour discussing variety of things. I am looking forward to his workout plan and to our next session. Great guy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenny (CoachUp client)
I had my first session with coach Daniel this morning. I was nervous/excited not knowing what to expect since I’m new to running. Coach Daniel taught me how to properly warm up and stretch pre-workout and post-workout. The workout itself went well! Coach Daniel ran with me the entire time and gave me great feedback throughout the run. Coach Daniel is a genuine person that is interested in you as a person and your goals. He listened to my concerns and gave me helpful tools/suggestions. I’m looking forward to ongoing training with Coach Daniel and I can honestly say that after our first session I feel confident in my ability to reach my goals.
Hannah (CoachUp client)
Coach Daniel was friendly upon my first meet up! He introduced himself & we got right into running. He asked about my past running experience and my running goals. For the following weeks he sent me running plans to help me better myself and achieve my marathon goal. I’ve enjoyed his workouts as he’s included long runs, speed work & of course some needed rest time! I’d reccomend Coach’s Dan to anyone looking to switch things up in their workouts, become a better althete or achieve goals you have set! I look forward to seeing my improvements in my next marathon!

Great job by Daniel. Look forwarding to working with him in the future.
Ani (CoachUp client)
I approached coach for a short period of time. With very few days at hand to accomplish what I wanted, coach Daniel got straight to working with me. Laid out a strategy to target first breathing, form and eventually pase. Trust me I got better, with just that one session and advice. I kept following what he had told me to do without over doing anything and I am getting better. Coach Daniel is very helpful and understand your goal and will work with you in very technical way. He is very friendly and will always have a great chat while you are training with him. I didn't realize that I could run that far the first time I ran with him.
I highly recommend coach Daniel.
Angelina (CoachUp client)

Awesome coach! Willing to meet me at a far location for him and takes time to individualize my work out needs! DEFINATELY would recommend!
Valarie (CoachUp client)
Daniel is an amazing running coach who is an expert at analyzing your running style and helping you to fix or optimize it. He works with you in many ways and tailors your instruction and training based on the distance, frequency, and type of running you want to do (casual running, short races, long distance races, etc.) If I could give more than five stars, I would. Daniel is very effective at encouraging and motivating you to do your best, yet will always have your best interests - in terms of athletic goals and health - in mind. If your looking for a coach, he is the perfect coach for you !!
