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.
Audrey
Personal Training Client
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.

  • OH THE WHOMANITY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😌 anyways, we did ham 🍖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Thanksgiving!
  • Current favourite evening 🌙 snack ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Banana chips* Dried mulberries* Dried golden berries* Dried currants* 90% dark chocolate* and sometimes a tablespoon of almond* butter🥄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *organic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to be so focused on #lowcarb regardless of what my body was telling me I needed because I thought low carb was the end all be all for health and to keep me slim and trim. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But since committing this year to my “healthy dream body project” of intuitively fuelling and evaluating my bod I’ve migrated to more carbs. By no means high carb by the standard American diet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a very active gal and doing #workouts that rely heavily on #glycolysis (the breakdown of #glucose for #energy ) I’ve found adding whole food carbs has improved my performance as well as my overall energy, mood, stability, sleep and #cravings ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think carb intake is individual. For me I can tell when I’ve eaten too many carbs very quickly. I’ll start to feel hot and overwhelmed. Sometimes my feet and hands get itchy. And if I’ve eaten way too much, I have #brainfog and difficulty concentrating. So I’ve become very good at knowing how much I need. It sounds weird but I can feel how much I need. Sometimes very little and other times a decent amount in one sitting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So now that I’m laid up due to my hernia surgery, I feel my carb tolerance has gone down simply because I’m barely moving relative to a usual day in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m still enjoying this delicious #snack just in a little bit smaller portion💁🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #intuitiveeating #wholefoods #carbs & #darkchocolate for #performance #health #longevity #mentalhealth & a #strong #healthybody that I #love ❤️
  • Got my gut sewed up 😛 check out my last post if you want to know what actually happened ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sunny’s taking advantage of this rest thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leeez be honest I am too... Currently zombie-ing out to Rhythm & Flow and probably This Is Us later😎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *note the soap they used was pink to know they cleaned it properly - hence my red tummy🍅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hernia #surgery and #bedrest #slothlife although #idratherbelifting or doing almost anything else!
  • See that little bump above my belly button? That’s a #hernia ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Umbilical hernia to be exact. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My earliest memory of it was when I was 7 and then I don’t remember it bothering me as a teen but then in my mid twenties it’s started to hurt when exercising, teaching a class or training a client after eating, especially if I ate bloaty foods. Sooooo I saw a surgeon 2 weeks ago and was scheduled for surgery today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once this heals up, look out! #Heavylifts and #abs au’ steel here I come😏💪 I’m faaaacking loving #crossfit and kills me to have to take a break buuut I’m going to heal gracefully and smartly by not doing too much too soon which is VERY difficult for me. But someone (a doula actually) said to me something along the lines of rest longer initially and be ready to go sooner versus being active sooner and having to take a rest later.
  • Since I’m not supposed to sweat while my eyebrows are healing, I can wear whatever I want to workout💁🏻‍♀️ This is the workout I posted to @bestlyfefitness because there’s no bootcamp today #labourday 100 air squats 80 alt. lunges 60 jumping jacks 40 sit-ups 20 push-ups 10 burpees I will live vicariously through those of you who cranked out this workout, working up a very nice sweat 💦 #sweatlife
  • Seems like a random rep scheme but it’s quite effective at 😏 1) creating enough volume to elicit change with there being 45reps in total 2) making it possible to complete each exercise with proper form and technique by reducing the reps each round to accommodate increasing fatigue *Now that said, each round can be broken down further. For example, for most of us, 21 reps of front squats isn’t feasible unless our load is drastically reduced but if we split the round into 3 sets of 7 (3 x 7 = 21) then we’d probably be able to do it and if not, the load is too much. This can be done for each round 7 7 7 then 5 5 5 then 3 3 3 Anyways that’s what I did. For each round I split it up into sets depending of the difficultly so that I was able to finish each rep of each set/round with the same form and technique as my 1st. That is always THE OBJECTIVE. If you want to learn more about the 21-15-9 rep scheme, @crossfitfrederick has a great blog post on the topic! The workout... ___________________________ 21 - 15 - 9 1. Front squats 2. Hanging straight leg raises 3. Push-ups ___________________________ If you plan on trying this on your own, MODIFY it TO YOUR CURRENT CAPABILITIES. Here are some alternative options for each exercise 1. DB front squats, DB/KB goblet squat, plate press squat or an air squat 2. Hanging knee raises or supine straight leg raises 3. Elevated push-ups or kneeling push-ups Form first, everything else second.
