Testimonials

Anthony Salas

Ran his first full marathon at the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon!

“I am so incredibly lucky to have had Danielle as a coach over the last several months to train for the NYC Marathon. Prior to this year, I hadn’t run more than 4 miles, so I knew it was quite the challenge to be Race Day ready by November. However, Danielle reassured me that we had enough time for an appropriate training program that fit my schedule – and she was right! I was impressed by the thoughtfulness and flexibility of the plan, especially when I had weekend travels. Danielle is proactive and will check in on how you’re feeling post-workout to make sure everything is going smoothly and adjust the plan as needed. More importantly, Danielle genuinely wants to help you reach your goals and accommodate your needs. Admittedly, I sometimes took the training too seriously, but Danielle showed me how to have fun during it all. She taught me how to embrace the process and gave me the confidence to reach new levels. Danielle is not just a coach, but a friend who will cheer you on from the sidelines (literally). Regardless of your fitness journey, you can count on Danielle to provide thoughtful guidance and give you the motivation to crush it on your race!”

Jamie Cross

Ran her first full marathon at the 2024 Cape Cod Marathon, reaching her goal with a 4:44 finish!

“Danielle was an amazing coach and got me through my first marathon!! She was understanding of my busy life schedule and made sure to adjust my workouts to fit into my schedule perfectly. She was super knowledgeable about any injuries that popped up through training and was quick to adjust my training plan. Most importantly, she was my biggest cheerleader! She pushed me, challenged me, validated me, and supported me through the entire process!”

Josh Orszag

Ran his first Half Marathon after years of consistent IT Band injury keeping him from running 

“Danielle is a truly exceptional coach. She is so meticulous and so dedicated to building a program that works for you. Before I started working with Danielle, I could barely run 2 miles without knee pain; with her guidance and support, I overcame the injury and, thanks to her, just ran my first half-marathon. No matter if you’re just starting to run or are a seasoned marathon runner, Danielle can help you achieve your goals!”
 
“Feeling like I could adjust [my training plan] as needed and still stay on track was really important for my mental map of how I was going to get to the starting line. Coupled with our frequent communication, I always felt like I had Danielle on my side when certain things got in the way.”

Meghan Genardi

Set a 9-minute PR in the Half Marathon

“I loved the flexibility you gave me to tailor my workouts for the week within reason of still accomplishing my goals. You listened to me and my body when I was sick or too sore and guided me to not push myself too hard (whereas before this experience I absolutely would have). The workouts themselves felt honestly expertly tailored to meet my goals – you knew exactly what paces to set me and what distances for me to run to get to my goal time.“

“I worked with Danielle with the intent of accomplishing a goal time for a half marathon race. She challenged me in my workouts but also knew how to pace me properly so that I wouldn’t burn out – things that were missing from training on my own for previous races. After sticking to her plan, I was able to cross the finish line confident, strong, and under my goal time. The numbers clearly speak for themselves – Danielle’s expertise and ability to create a detailed training plan that fit my needs were the keys to my success at the race. 

“Her passion for coaching runs deep, and I can’t wait to be coached by her again for future races!”

Testimonials

"I enjoyed the formal check-ins where Danielle set aside time to talk through burning or lingering questions I had about all things running (plan, strategy, nutrition, etc). As a beginner runner, this helped calm nerves about taking on challenges and getting into the right mindset during long runs."

Testimonials

"I really liked Danielle's comments post-workout to check in on how a harder session went. It felt like she was actually there with me, especially after shitty/painful runs haha, and especially long runs!"

Testimonials

"The coaching app Danielle uses allowed me to have a sense of organization as I looked at the 1-2 weeks ahead. It was also a confidence booster to see what I HAVE accomplished vs. what I WILL accomplish."

Testimonials

"The app was super easy to use, and another huge strength was Danielle's knowledge on coaching me through injuries / aches / pains. Her response time is incredible! If I need to update or adjust a workout she'd update it in the app so quickly."
