I was struggling with back pain and tired of my fluctuating waistline. After meeting Danielle, owner of Killen Fitness & Wellness, I had to see if she could help me. She put together weekly workouts for me and helped me maintain good form and build muscle. She is so great at offering modifications and recommendations for stretches that can support any aches and pains I may mention during our sessions. I no longer have back pain and am feeling stronger in my 40s than I did in my 20s. Danielle also helped me prepare for a major surgery. I took advantage of her health coaching to focus on stress reduction, balance my hormones, and build a healthy and strong body with Whole Foods. She's a wealth of knowledge on the best products to support a toxin free life. Scheduling is a breeze and her studio is comfortable and clean. Having a fitness and wellness coach on your team is the best way to stay accountable for taking care of yourself. read more

I've been working out with Danielle for 4 years. Started during the pandemic and have continued using Zoom from a distance. The workouts are well rounded and she's great at making accommodations and adding stretches when needed. She's also encouraged me to sign up for 5ks and it's kept me walking regularly. She's kind and consistent. I'm so grateful for her; I work a physically demanding job and these workouts have kept me from injury. read more

I love training with Danielle! I can get stuck when I exercise, default to just cardio, but at this point of my life strength training is what I need most. She is highly educated in the field and mixes my workouts up for me. Not only am I gaining the obvious strength, endurance and health benefits of her training, she is constantly teaching me something. I gain so much from a 45 minute session. She is knowledgeable in fitness and diet as well as a woman's body in general. My husband calls her my life coach I am 41 so my body is starting to change a lot. Physically, mentally, hormones, you name it and she has been able to help me with all of it. All while I'm getting a great workout in. She is honest and caring and a badass. It's now been a few years of training with her. The longest I've ever stuck with any type of workout. I can not speak highly enough of her or recommend her enough! read more

Working with Danielle was the inspiration I needed to get a positive and healthy change going in my life. I felt tired and in need of a change. I was hating how I felt, how I looked and how I was mistreating myself with what felt like constant take out and no exercise. My life was stressful and I was getting concerned about my health and well being. I decided to sign up for two months of Primal Health Coaching and a package of private work out sessions. I knew Danielle was a good fit for me because she is down to earth and relatable. Often the diet culture shame us and makes us feel wrong for wanting pizza/burritos/ take out. I had never met a nutritionalist until her who ALSO battles those cravings. I felt sincere support knowing such a healthy role model like her struggles with similar issues around food. Primal Health Coaching includes texting which was very convenient during my break up with take out- fighting the urge to not give into the craving. I seriously needed a lot of help emotionally to stop pulling up at drive thrus. (It's harder than people think)! I would text her when I was out grocery shopping to double check about which ingredients to avoid or what what brands are the better choice. She also checked in on me asking how my WHOLE self is doing, not just my diet. My confidence grew from our text exchanges. She would send easy recipe ideas as well as affirmations and journal prompts. I will never delete our text thread, she dropped a lot of gems that I can look back on. The workout sessions were great. I had lost so much confidence in myself I didn't want to exercise alone. I was worried about potential injuries and giving up early in a workout. I felt really safe having Danielle design the realistic work outs I could actually do. I felt more and more accomplished finishing the workouts and now work out at my home gym. I feel stronger and look forward to working out! I FEEL (and look!) so much better. I finally have a consistent food (primal diet) and workout routine for myself that is actually doable and works for me. If you want to feel empowered and could use some help taking charge of your life again, I highly recommend you begin your journey with Danielle!! read more

This review is long overdue... I had a baby 11 months ago and my life changed in more ways than I could ever imagine. I didn't know how I was going to manage having 'balance' as a new mom, but knew I needed to get back in shape in order to be able to function. Danielle came to my rescue and I wouldn't have it any other way. I started working out with her in March 2016 at 6:45am a couple days a week and still going strong! The workouts are always challenging and fun. We do something different each time and I noticed results almost immediately. My energy level was where I needed it to be and I felt great. Danielle is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and leads by example. It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated she is to what she loves to do.
