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.

  • It saddens me to have to do this but with the status of covid-19 & the stay home initiative, I see no other responsible choice.⠀ ⠀ IN LEUI OF NO CLASSES, I will be posting HOME WORKOUTS on Monday & Wednesday.⠀ ⠀ If you usually come to Mondays or Wednesdays or both, do the respective workouts. Just schedule it in your regular bootcamp slot. Or if you have time earlier in the day now, do it then. Just make sure to plan it! Remember getting started is the hardest part.⠀ ⠀ I know these classes aren’t just about the workout. They’re means of accountability, shared pain, community, a social event so I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER VIA THE COMMENT SECTION OF EACH WORKOUT POST.⠀ ⠀ *say how f$&%ing hard the workout was.⠀ *grunt & groan.⠀ *share a picture or video of you doing it.⠀ *share your time or rounds & reps.⠀ *send encouragement to folks who said they did the workout & those who haven’t yet.⠀ *post an emoji that best describes your post workout feels.⠀ *share your challenges.⠀ *share your wins.⠀ ⠀ WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!⠀ ⠀ Like most things, this will pass! Try to stay positive by being grateful for what you do have and what you did have. This is a great reminder that we take for graunted a lot of things like the freedom to go to the grocery store to buy TP and to workout with a friend.⠀ ⠀ I’m so grateful for you coming to my classes week after week, month after month and for some of you, year after year! Can’t wait to be back!! But in the mean time, stay healthy and do your workouts! You’ll be glad you did!!
  • Due to the closures of most gyms & fitness studios, I asked if you wanted another class this week and you said yes so here it is 🥳 Another spicy body weight workout coming up🔥⠀ ⠀ 👉 The class is tomorrow Friday March 20 at 5pm⠀ ⠀ ‼️ I am putting a limit of 12 people per class so that we can maintain healthy distances from each other so please let me know if you’re coming. ⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ Please read the caption from my post on Monday this week to know the precautionary steps you and I are taking to keep us as safe and healthy as possible during class.⠀ ⠀ Due to the massive uncertainty at this time, I cannot guarantee classes next week so please keep your eyes peeled for updates from me.⠀ ⠀ I know how much you value your workouts so I really hope I can keep them on!
  • Class is still on today but no guarantees for next week.⠀ ⠀ If you do not feel comfortable with coming, I will comp you the price you paid for the class towards a class or pass in the future.⠀ ⠀ Do what feels right for you!⠀ ⠀ Now if you are coming, todays focus will be a little more upper body & core relative to Monday’s leg burner!⠀ ⠀ Stay healthy folks💚
  • Bootcamps are still on. But to keep us all as healthy as possible 1️⃣ the workouts for the foreseeable future will be body weight. That does not mean easy! I’m still dedicated to giving you a legitimate workout that challenges you and ultimately elicits results - strength, stamina, flexibility and many other advantageous results because that’s why we workout right! . 2️⃣ please be responsible and stay home if you’ve been out of the country, are sick and or have a compromised immune system. . 3️⃣ I will sign you in. That way no ones sharing pens. . 4️⃣ Mat placement will be at a safe distance away from each other >> 4-6+ feet. We’ve got lots of space! . 5️⃣ Make sure to wipe your mats down before and especially after class. . 6️⃣ Elbow or foot taps in place of high 5s. . 7️⃣ Before class, take a deep breath then let it out and plan to work hard and have fun!! We workout because gains but also because health & community! So hopefully your dedication to better fitness has put you in a better health position with the current situation. . See you in a bit💪💪
  • It’s so easy is to get down on yourself because you’re not doing it as fast or as heavy or as hard a version as the person next you but ask yourself these questions. And if the answers are yes, that is ALL that matters. You are working hard for you! Use those people doing more as inspiration to keep at it and improve your game (your strength, your stamina, your form, your endurance, etc.)!⠀ ⠀ See you shortly!! It’s a perfect day for an outdoor workout☀️
  • You know what those things are for yourself. And that includes negative self talk during your workout.⠀ ⠀ - Choose one thing to work on not doing this week.⠀ ⠀ Tonight at bootcamp we’re doing 4 exercises tabata style ⠀ [20 sec on, 10 off by 8 rounds with 1 minute rest between each exercise]⠀ 🔥🔥⠀ ⠀ It may even be light out with the time change!!

  • “It’s what’s on the inside of a fridge that counts.” @createthelove #createthelove - This is too good not to repost #truth 😭 - Decode those heart food cravings! - Nut butter = softness, fulfilment Leftovers = hearty love, fulfilment Banana muffins = sweetness, a smile, fulfilment - See a trend? What do they all have in common? - Fulfilment. Are you fulfilled in life? If not totally, what’s one thing OTHER THAN FOOD if you’re not hungry that could bring yah some fulfilment? Note: fulfilment might come in the form of something you don’t necessarily want but rather you need😌 - Question your cravings! Go deep🧘🏻 - Namaste at home!
  • I haven’t had a conventional muffin in ages but from memory I’d say texture and flavour wise, these are spot on to their gluten counterpart minus the pro-inflammatory, highly refined grains and sugar! WIN WIN! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍌PALEO BANANA MUFFINS RECIPE **Makes 12** ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 247cal 8P 24C 15F [4g fiber] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS — dry — 2 1/2 cups almond flour @bobsredmill 1/2 cup tapioca starch @anitaorgainc 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp himalayan salt or @redmondrealsalt 1 tsp aluminum free baking soda — wet — 4 pastured eggs 4 medium to large ripe bananas 4 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons grass fed butter or ghee 1 tbs organic apple cider vinegar ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F convention. If you don’t have convection the muffins may take longer to cook. 2. Combine and whisk together dry ingredients. 3. In a separate bowl or blender, combine wet ingredients. If using a bowl (as I do), blend together with an immersion blender until smooth. 4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until fully mixed - minimal lumps. 5. Grease muffin tray with butter or coconut oil. 6. Spoon mixture into muffin tray - evenly amongst the 12 spots. Optional: add a few chocolate chips to the top and press them in with your finger. (I’ve been adding 4 100% organic dark cc to each as a little treat while still keeping them kosher as a breakfast item) 7. Bake for 27 minutes. Set a timer! 8. Remove from tray. If they’re sticking, use a skewer to gently scrape along the inside of the trays to help remove. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛Leave a comment letting me know what you think! 📍Tag me in your pictures & videos @dannifeinstein #dfeinfit 👫🏻Share with your friends and fam jam ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #paleomuffins #paleorecipes #cleaneat #paleofood #eatrealfood #bananamuffins ##healthydessert #crossfitcommunity #fitfood #healthyfood #zonediet #healthyfats #eatforabs #proteinpacked #proteins #yvrfoodie #vancouverfood #quaratinelife #quarantinekitchen #quarantinecooking #stayhomechallenge #healthyrecipe #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreefood
  • WEDNESDAY’S AT HOME BOOTCAMP WORKOUT ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s all about the upper body because tank top season is soon approaching and WE WILL be around other humans eventually! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aside from aesthetic goals, upper body strength is unrated!
