Daniel takes a holistic approach to improve people's physique and performance. He focuses heavily on both the physical and psychological development of his clients to not only provide programs that force the body to adapt (e.g., lose body fat, improve fitness, build muscle, etc.), but also help them build habits and mindsets that facilitate the changes in their lifestyle, motivation and effort necessary to reach their goals.
