About Danielle

WHEN DID YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST CLASS AT SPARK45? 

My first class at SPARK45 actually took about 1.5 years after I opened because I did not have any other teachers.  I took many solo private classes starting in Feb 2016 when I opened.  My first Lagree Fitness class was in Spring/Summer 2015.  

HOW DID YOU DISCOVER SPARK45?

Well…I created it, but I realized I want to open my own studio combine with Physical Therapy in July 2015 after a visit to Denver. I took a class as Fierce45 and had the realization that I wanted to open my studio.  

WHEN, AND WHY DID YOU BECOME A LAGREE FITNESS INSTRUCTOR AT SPARK45? 

I signed my license deal with Sebastian Lagree in August 2015, and completed training in September 2015.  

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVE? 

I LOVE OBLIQUES.  My favorite move is twisted kneeling crunch as I can really isolate the muscles. It used to be easy and then it became crazy hard.

WHAT MOVE DO YOU INTERNALLY (OR AUDIBLY) GROAN ABOUT DURING CLASS? 

Side Kick. Enough said.

WHY DO YOU LOVE SPARK45 AND THE MEGA FORMER? 

SPARK45 is am passion, my life, and so much fun making my place in Carpinteria. I am so grateful to get to know so many amazing people and see the impact on their health, wellness, and life.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL THOUGHT/PHRASES TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH A TOUGH MOVE? 

Yes, I can.  And thinking of all the clients working their booties off!!  Makes me work just a bit harder.

WHAT IS ONE FUN RANDOM FACT ABOUT YOU? 

I am an AirForce Brat.  Home is where I am.  So Carp is HOME.  I have lived in Newport News, VA, England, Chicago, O’Fallon, Carterville, and now Carpinteria.  

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN CARPINTERIA & HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR FREE TIME? 

5 years as of Dec. 1, 2019.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE BLACK DOG? 

Let me think :-P.  Just kidding.  Otis is the pup that has changed my life, and allowed me to see how much I could love another living thing.  He brings me so much joy and happiness.  I don’t care what color he is as I was supposed to get a blonde girl, and fell in love with a sweet little black boy.
