My name is Daniele, I'm married to a wonderful man  and have 3 beautiful children.  I've been in the fitness industry for 8 plus years, I've hired numerous trainers and became certified myself through Cooper Institute back in 2004.  I love being in shape and the high I get from lifting weights.  After my son was born  three years ago I found it hard to get back on track and in the shape I was  before.  I hired a trainer at another gym who loved to compete in Women's Figure and I became excited about that part of fitness.  I bought every magazine I could get my hands on, trained hard 7 days a week with hours and hours of cardio- and still could not get the results I wanted or needed to compete.  That's when I found Integrated health & Fitness, I met with Dan for the first time almost a year ago and I knew immediately that his training was different.  I knew I had to trust him and his plan for me to get in competition shape, he started me on a training program that was specific to my body.  I was hesitant at first when I was told I needed to cut back my cardio- and the amount of time I spent in the gym, like most people I thought the harder I trained the more I would see results..  Even though I wasn't sure about cutting my time in the gym, I listened to Dan and followed his plan and within two weeks I noticed a huge difference in the way I felt.  I had more energy, more time with my family and I had lost 8 pounds.  I was amazed, shocked and hooked!  Working with Dan and following his workout plans and diet I found myself in the best shape of my life, 9 months later I went on to compete in my first figure show and placed 1st in my class.  I had lost a total of 18 pounds and my body fat had dropped to 8%, something I never thought could happen. Since my show I've stayed in good shape, following my workout plans and eating healthy I've kept off 10 pounds.  We did it, we got the weight off and me in better shape than I was before our son.  IHF is different than any other gym I've been a part of ,and trust me I've been at several, because the staff here is knowledgeable not only on training, but on the kinetics of the body, nutrition and they design workout plans for the individual, not something you can get out of a magazine or from a video.  When you are a part of this gym, you are apart of a close family and your dreams about being in shape or living healthier are their dreams.
