"I’ve been so happy with my coaching experience! I really appreciate how much trust Dani has in me and how thoughtfully she designs every workout. Dani doesn’t just focus on exercise- she brings in mobility, strength, and healthy habits that make a real difference in my overall wellness. It’s helped me physically, of course, but it’s also made me a better mom by giving me the confidence and tools to teach my kids about nutrition and healthy living early on. Her programming is flexible and realistic, which makes it possible to stay consistent even as a mom of two with a pretty chaotic schedule. I genuinely value the balance, support, and intention she brings to everything she does."

"I'd give 10 stars if I could! I’ve been working with Dani at Strength Beyond the Barbell for almost two and a half years now, and honestly: 1) I wish I started sooner. 2) I’ll never stop! Dani is truly the best in the business when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and overall health. I first came to her in June 2023 after years of gut issues (and the mindset struggles that come with them). From day one, she was thoughtful, compassionate, knowledgable, and intentional; creating a plan that focused on small, realistic habits instead of overwhelming me with a complete overhaul. That’s what made it stick. As things evolved, Dani continued to adjust my plan, educate me, and meet me exactly where I was. Working with her, and the SBTB team, has been so much more than just “getting in shape.” It’s been a complete mindset shift around food, health, and balance. I wholeheartedly recommend Dani and SBTB to anyone ready to make lasting changes. If you get the opportunity to work with them, take it, it’ll be one of the best decisions you make for yourself. 💪"

"I worked with Dani for about six months for nutrition coaching, and I’ve truly never been happier. I’ve lost 5 pounds, but more importantly, I feel incredible. I started working with her because I wanted to look and feel my absolute best for my wedding day, which is just around the corner—and she helped me do exactly that. The best part about working with Dani is that I transformed my body without giving up the foods I love. She taught me how to do it in a healthy, sustainable way that has set me up for long-term success. I’ll use her tips and guidance for the rest of my life. If you’re thinking about hiring Dani, don’t even think twice—do it ASAP!"
