Daniel Smith
DANIEL SMITH
About me:
My name is Daniel Smith, I am a Sacramento State graduate with my bachelors of science in kinesiology, with my concentration in exercise science. I’ve been personal training since graduating college in 2013, consistently training for 7 years now. On top of PT, I also coach 3 different fitness programs; Functional Fitness, Forever Fitness and Junior Fitness. Ages ranging from 7 – 70+. I also recently obtained my CrossFit level 1, and USA Weightlifting level 1, to improve in what I do and to continue to learn and succeed in my profession. I am a proud parent of an energetic little girl, who keeps me striving to keep growing and achieve great things. I love staying busy and active. I’ve been told I bring positive energy and great motivation in all that I do and I take pride in that.
Some background:
The reason I chose to pursue a degree in kinesiology, was because of a disability I have had for 18 years now. The left side of my body is partially paralyzed from radiation treatment I had in 2001 to get rid of a blood clot I had in the right side of my brain. With physical therapy and returning to the gym, I was able to regain a lot of strength, balance, mobility and weight control. I saw what hard work and determination did for me and it motivated me to want to pursue a career in helping others with their health and fitness goals.
“Advice for getting started“:
Have fun with your program. The more you enjoy being physically active, the more natural it will become. And you will be more likely to stick with it long term.
