about

est. 2016

Best Lyfe Fitness was established in 2016 offering just bootcamps initially. Since then it has expanded to multiple bootcamps (public and private) and over 30 personal training clients.

The goal has always been to help regular folk achieve their health, fitness and body goals in a sustainable, healthy, au’ natural fashion.

Our core value is health 1st, aesthetics 2nd.

Personal body shape goals are greatly respected (because when you feel you look great, you perform better) but health is never compromise to achieve a specific aesthetic.

The Trainer

Danni Feinstein

Kinesiologist

Danni is the owner of Best Lyfe Fitness, offering personal training and bootcamps. Functional movement plus aesthetics is her jam. She is a kinesiologist (a movement specialist) so she places special emphasis on proper form to help her clients achieve the health, fitness and body shape they’re after, efficiently and injury-free.

One of her favourite muscle groups to target is the glutes (aka the booty) because they are pivotal in stabilizing the lower back and hips. She loves to point out that “a functional tush is usually a good looking one too!”.

Prior to starting Best Lyfe Fitness in 2016, Danni worked in a physiotherapy clinic  for two and half years helping people to rehabilitate their injury from a car accident or work injury. Danni is certified in level 1 soft tissue release. She has a special interest in fascial release and strengthening to create a strong, functional physique and enhance whole body detoxification.

Although exercise is her emphasis, she respects that all pillars of health (nutrition, stress, sleep and relationships) in unison contribute to results and a better quality of life. Therefore her programs are holistic in nature and respect proper rest and recovery.

I love this bootcamp! I have been going regularly for 2 years and have improved my fitness level, reduced my niggling aches and pains and have over all better energy very day AND no injuries.
Julie
Bootcamp Regular
I've been seeing her since summer of 2018 and haven't looked back. It was the best decision I've made for MYSELF in a long time. During our workouts, she motivates me to work hard to reach points I never knew I could reach, with many laughs along the way.

I decided to try weight training at the gym for the very first time. I was uncertain and very anxious. Danni’s coaching and calm nature helped me feel comfortable, while providing just the right balance of encouragement that “l’ve got this” and persuasion that I can go beyond what I think I can. After working with Danni for six months, I have gained confidence, and I feel stronger in body and mind.

  • As you may or may not know, I made it my goal for 2019 to not weigh myself for the entire year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I stuck to it! Minus the 2 times at the doctors that I had to be weighed. But I didn’t look. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HERES’S WHAT HAPPENED... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >> I don’t feel guilt & shame because of my weight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >> I base how I feel about my body off of how my body feels (how ironic eh!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >> I know my body better because I’ve had to rely on it’s signals in relation to what I’m doing (how I’m moving, sleeping, eating, etc.) rather than using the scale as a means of measuring how I am doing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY THOUGHTS ABOUT WEIGHING YOURSELF NOW ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s the point? The number does nothing other than create a comparison between you and others. Why compare when you can focus on yourself. You know when you’re not at the size or shape you want. You know when you’ve put on size. And you know when you’re smaller or leaner. You can feel all of it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The only time I’ve seen the number actually be important was when I went in for surgery and the anesthesiologist needed to know my weight to properly dose the anesthesia. —————————— We’re all looking to feel better about our body’s by weighing a certain number or losing a certain amount. And there in lies the problem “feel better about our bodies” ⭐️ it’s about a feeling not a number! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #weight #weightlossjourney #fatlosshelp #vancouverpersonaltrainer #weighin #weighinwednesday #scale #bodyfatpercentage #bodygoals #winnershomesense #homesensefinds #homesensecanada #intuitiveeating #intuitiveweightloss #coquitlamcrunch #healthyliving #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #mentalhealthmatters

  • 👆Homemade almond butter recipe👇 a life saver when it comes to quelling hanger & low blood sugar🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it’s super easy to make. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To make about a 500g jar’s worth... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Blend 4 cups of room temp. almonds for 14 minutes. 14 is the magic number! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *You may need to shake the food processor a few times in the beginning to knock down the almonds. But I never have to put a utensil in to stir it. It eventually blends itself smooth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. During the last minute of blending at 1/4-1/2 tsp Himalayan salt. (I like it on the salty side so I hit the 1/2 tsp.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Jar & refrigerate! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Refrigerate to preserve the freshness & nutrients of the almonds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you have a dehydrator, I highly recommend you soak your almonds for 8-12 hours and then dehydrate them until they are crunchy again before making your butter to make it easier to digest. This is how I do it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Also consider buying almonds from a vendor that keeps them refrigerated for the same reasons above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🖤 Tag me if you make this!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #homemade #almonds #activatednuts #almondbutter #wholefoods #plantbased #nutz #healthyfats #paleolife #canthavejustonebite #foodprocessorrecipes #almondbutterrecipe #coquitlampersonaltrainer #vancouverhealth #highfatlowcarbrecipe #puppyapproved
  • Since I have yet another day this week that I’m snowed in... . I inspired myself to workout with this brutal WOD 🥵 . 20 burpees over bar 30 back squats 40 sit ups 30 back squats 20 burpees over bar . My time = about 9:20 . The hardest part was the burpees😅 And my cleans are less than desirable... a work in progress! . That aside, I love workouts like these! High intensity, sweaty and best of all quick! . Although... a good warm up before hand is crucial to avoid injury! I did about 20 minutes - a little cardio, dynamic stretching of the hips & spine and squat & core activation exercises. . *If you want to try this at home and you don’t have a barbell, do burpees over a dumbbell or any object for that matter and do any form of squats - goblet, front, air squats, etc. . And ps. you’re welcome I didn’t include the sound😛 although I always say if you’re making noise it means you’re breathing! . Tag me📍if you try this! . #festivusgames #crossfit #crossfitter #WOD #chipperwod #absworkout #backsquats #burpees #sweatlife #trainhard #hardworkpaysoffs #barbellworkout #crossfitgirls #girlswholift #weightlosstips #fatlosshelp #doglifeisgood
  • Hard work ain’t pretty but it’s worth it💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 155lbs felt very heavy today! Coach notes for myself from myself 🤓 would be to drop my hips lower at the below of the rep & use my legs more & spinal extensors less. #alwaysroomforimprovement ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #deadlifts #hamstringexercise #girlswholift #fitspo #homegym #crossfit #nikes #nikewomen #lululemon #barbell #sweaty #fitnessmotivation #gymday #crossfitgirl #crossfitter #vancouverfitness #vnft #coquitlampersonaltrainer #vancouverpersonaltrainer #thickthighssavelives #glutegoals
  • Here’s the ab workout that my bootcamps are doing for the month of January. 5 MINUTE TABATA 20 seconds for each exercise👇 followed by 10 seconds rest 1. Down dog to high plank knee to arm 2. Other side 3. V-ups 4. Repeat v-ups 5. Bear kick throughs 6. Repeat bear kick throughs 7. Hollow rocks 8. Repeat hollow rocks 9. Single leg low plank 10. Other leg ———————— CAVEATS for each exercise 1. & 2. Down dog to high plank knee to arm • shorten your high plank stance just a little (ie. bring your feet a little closer to your hands) so that you have a smaller gap from knee to arm • make sure you come up into a single leg down dog between each rep 3. & 4. V-ups • keep your low back glued to ground • if you can’t do the latter, bend your legs 5. & 6. Bear kick throughs • first work on kicking your leg out to the side with control • then work on straightening it • then add the hand behind the ear 7. & 8. Hollow rocks • eliminate the gap between your lumbar curve and the ground, in essence tuck your hips and keep that position through the entire movement • bend your legs if you cannot do the latter • lift your head & shoulders off the ground by creating a “crunch” through your upper abs & hold that through the entire movement • maintain your arms by your ears • also soon at your lumbar spine lifts, stop and break, then go right back in *I’m still trying to master all of this! 9. & 10. Single leg low plank • tuck your hips first to create a “crunch” in your abs so that your abs are loaded and not your lower spine • break as soon as you’re unable to hold the latter position - it means your core has turned off because it’s cooked and it needs a rest! ———————— I challenge all my bootcampers to do this 4-5x per week 😁🔥 #abs #abworkout #functionalfitness #athlete #vancouverfitness #coquitlambootcamp #vancouverpersonaltrainer #gyminspo #workoutideas #downdog #planking #plank #fitspo #training #fitfam #portcoquitlam #coreworkout #absworkout
