I needed something new. I needed to shift my mindset and meet my body where it is today, 53 years old and getting sore and cranky. Gym memberships were a waste of money for me, I have no time to go spend hours there creating a workout for myself or a desire to pay an inexperienced personal trainer on top of that membership. I searched for something new and came across Thrive. Dan met with me on the phone first and we did a deep dive into my goals, my restrictions, my likes and dislikes and from there we met in person to further that discussion. I consider myself above average when it comes to athletic mechanics and fitness knowledge due to my profession, I work full time in athletics and can tell you that Dan’s is extremely educated and knowledgeable in every aspect. We work on goals and reason why things are working or not working. I can come twice a week and feel more results than i ever have going to the gym sporadically. He takes the time to prepare your body to take on more gradually and effectively. I have been able to see great results with my back pain and overall strength. I’ve switched my focus from how I look to how I’m feeling and how I can now do daily things with ease. A bonus to that is the way you look does change as well! Go try Thrive, you won’t be disappointed. Less

Working with Dan has been incredibly empowering and one of the best decisions I've made "for me". After 2 spine surgeries in a 4 year period, I thought I would be sleeping in my recliner forever because laying flat was so painful and daily activities were still such a challenge...not to mention I was terrified of hurting myself or doing certain movements. We've had to rebuild the foundation and... More

Working with Dan has been incredibly empowering and one of the best decisions I've made "for me". After 2 spine surgeries in a 4 year period, I thought I would be sleeping in my recliner forever because laying flat was so painful and daily activities were still such a challenge...not to mention I was terrified of hurting myself or doing certain movements. We've had to rebuild the foundation and address lots of other underlying issues/habits, retrain how my brain/body thinks and reacts to certain movements, stress and sleep, but we continue to make progress that I didn't think I would ever see. Some of the best are that my quality of sleep has improved significantly over the past year, I'm able to sleep all night (and laying flat) and I work on not scheduling every hour of my day so that I can continue to work towards living the long, happy, healthy and strong life that I want for myself. Dan has taught me the importance of sleep, self-talk, identifying and acknowledging the small successes I see and learning that those small successes DO lead to incredible progress. He continues to help me navigate curve balls the universe throws at me, tailors our workouts/exercises to where I'm at, and has taught me that chronic pain doesn't have to be part of my daily life. Thrive MVMNT is committed and dedicated to helping clients improve their quality of life. Less

I’ve been training with Dan for at least 2 years now, through pregnancies and recovery from those pregnancies. At the moment I am working through chronic pain and he has helped me immensely and I feel stronger than I have felt in a long time. He knows his stuff and actually listens to what’s going on with your body to tailor your workouts. Highly recommend!

I have been dealing with chronic sciatica for the last ~4+ years. Over this period, I have tried everything, including cortisone injections. I asked Dan for help, and over the course of the last 4 to 6 months, I have seen tremendous progress. It is excellent to finally be pain-free and more confident after such long challenges.

I cant say enough about Dan. Not only is he caring, methodical and knowledgeable, but he is the utmost professional. He has helped me overcome my chronic back pain and regain strength and stability. I kept sustaining back spasms regularly that left me unable to do simple tasks, nevermind continue my workout program. Being a very active person, I began second guessing everything i was doing in my... More

I cant say enough about Dan. Not only is he caring, methodical and knowledgeable, but he is the utmost professional. He has helped me overcome my chronic back pain and regain strength and stability. I kept sustaining back spasms regularly that left me unable to do simple tasks, nevermind continue my workout program. Being a very active person, I began second guessing everything i was doing in my workouts and all my daily activities & patterns. Dan gave me a starting point, a goal and a highly detailed plan that helped get me back on track. I have religiously stuck to his instructions and ever since have not had ANY back pain. I didn’t think that was even possible given my age and career as a dentist. I feel much more confident in my ability to tackle certain moves in my workouts. Furthermore I feel so solid in my core and overall strength and stability. I highly recommend Dan for your health and fitness goals! Less

I’ve been working with personal trainers for many years now. Some of them really good and others not so much. I’ve been training with Dan for 2 years now.

He’s easily the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. He’s very knowledgeable with nutrition and with improving movement/flexibility. He has a unique way of explaining the exercises so you can work the intended muscles and everything he does with you is a progression towards the next goals. I seem to be able to reach goals faster and I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made since I started working with him. I’d highly recommend working with him. Less

Dan has made a massive impact on my life. One year ago I was in pain constantly throughout the day and I dreaded doing anything that was physical. I have trusted the process and I am now back to being able to run, lift weights, and actually compete. If you are thinking about joining, I urge you too. It was have a major impact on your life!

Dan has been instrumental as I journey back to musculoskeletal strength. Dealing with multiple chronic physical issues, (including back, knee, and shoulder), Dan has helped me address them all, customizing exercises as needed.

Dan is kind, gentle and motivating. It felt quite intimidating to begin athletic training in my late 70’s, but Dan’s extensive knowledge, approach and guidance were reassuring from the first day. I have gained strength, endurance, and confidence. Recently, my daughter was astonished to see me climb three flights of stairs, with ease … while keeping up with three grandsons!

I worked with Dan from Thrive MVMNT for about year to fix a number of strength imbalances, back issues, and shoulder problems that were holding me back from participating in everyday activities and returning to a more active life.

Dan and his organization is Outstanding! I have been working with him for over 3 years and he has transformed how I live and feel. I have had two back surgery’s and was struggling with getting stronger and always injuring my back. With Dans help and guidance I have gotten much stronger and no longer have setbacks.
