Meet Coach Danielle
​
Danielle’s nutrition and fitness journey started when she was just a kid playing ball with the neighborhood kids. When she would come home, her mom would only keep healthy food options in the house which fueled her desire to live a healthy lifestyle.
As a freshman running cross country at a D-1 school, she was able to maintain the same principles that had been instilled in her as a child.
After college, Danielle started her career in Corporate America, got married to her wonderful husband, and had her two amazing boys. While prioritizing her family and career, Danielle lost sight of her health and wellness. So, she started running again and began racing half-marathons.
With her passion for running reignited, Danielle still didn’t feel completely fulfilled. She realized it was time to find a balance. With that goal in mind, Danielle left her office job and started working towards finding a better balance. She began exercising regularly, eating cleaner, and training for triathlons. This huge life change led her to her true passion – COACHING!
​
Danielle is an accomplished Triathlete with qualifications in 3 Ironman 70.3 World Championships (2017, 2019, 2022) and a recent qualification to compete in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, HI (2023).
Danielle loves to motivate others. Whether training for their 1st triathlon or 20th Ironman or a complete lifestyle change, she loves to see her clients reach their goals!

Meet Coach Chris
​
Chris started in athletics when he was in middle school growing up in Maryland, with running 5k beach races at his grandparents residence of Daytona Beach, FL. That love of running turned into high school running, followed by collegiate running as a Division 1 athlete. Post graduate work put him back into running again, as he became the Graduate Assistant coach for his alma mater. He was able to continue to run longer distance races, completing his 1st half marathon in 1993, all the while dabbling in a little mountain biking in the coastal town he was living in at the time.
​
After graduating with his Master's in Finance, he pursued a career in Chicago, got married to Coach Danielle and proceeded to help raise two sons, Matthew & Sam. All the while running was put on the back burner until he decided to run for 90 days straight post the birth of his 2nd son. That led to Chris getting the burning fire of running back in his belly! He continued to run to stay in shape, as well as chasing his two boys around baseball, soccer & skate parks.
​
He moved to Northwest AR with Coach Danielle and their boys in 2008 and continued to stay busy with his two sons as a full-time stay at home Dad. Once Coach Danielle left her corporate job, they both decided to get back into the gym. One thing led to another and Chris started competing in multi-sport events.
​
A year and half into multi-sports, he went back to his love of anything on two wheels and got on the mountain bike again. He has competed in local AMBCS races, as well endurance races, such as Leadville 100. After a few years of mountain biking, Chris moved to gravel riding and his 1st attempt at Mid-South 100 was on a fat-tire bike. Lesson learned and he has been back several years. Now he combines his love for both by competing in the Mid South double...Friday, 50k run, Saturday, 100mile gravel ride.
