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.

  • Just like the real thing & SUGAR FREE😩💛 #letsgetpeachy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍑🍑🍑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ <<>> Hands down the best of Smart Sweets! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤯🤯🤯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you so much @eatsmartsweets for sending me these goodies! I shared the other bag with my Mr and he loved ‘em too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍬🍭🍪🍩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The way I’m ok with not ever having 5 cent candies, donuts and cookies is because I find a way to make or buy a healthy version. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of those great swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kicksugar #smartsweetschampion
  • Netflix + sugar free hot chocolate (recipe below) + “sweet” treat @perfectketo = Sunday vibes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a very hard time turning off and relaxing during the day. And most of the time I don’t want to because I got a bunch of shit to do, that I actually want to do. So THIS👆 is a very rare occasion. That said, I’m not wearing my productivity #doingthings badge with honour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you’re constantly go go go, you’re in more sympathetic stress mode, even if good stress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But for optimal health & wellbeing to perform at our best, we need to balance the go go go with chill time - parasympathetic mode. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now that balance is different for everyone. Some can go days with very little chill time and others need a heavy daily dose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find for me it varies day by day, week by week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you know when you could probably use some chill time? Listen to your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + Are you not overly enthusiastic about something you’re typically passionate about? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ +Is your concentration at an all time low? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + Does sitting watching Netflix in the middle of the day sound super appealing when you’d typically never think to you that? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >>> Yes <<< ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well then perhaps some chill time is needed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I write this I think well i hope the lazy people don’t take this as an out to be more lazy. But really, you know if you’re being lazy or if you truly need to chill. Be honest with yourself✌️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOMEMADE HOT CHOCOLATE sugar free • low carb • low cal + 2 cups boiled filter water + 1/2 cup coconut milk @sodelicious_ca + 2-3 tbs organic cocoa powder + 8 drops vanilla liquid stevia + 8 drops English toffee liquid stevia + 1/8 tsp salt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Blend with immersion blender. Then sip away and lemme know what you think if you try it!
  • Jane Fonda meets 2019 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 80s fitness was so damn sexual! I’d never be caught dead teaching in something like this✋ maybe with some high waisted jeans though😏
  • I’ve got some questions about my diet currently so here’s a quick overview ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First and foremost, my goal is to lose fat so that I look leaner. I want muscles to be seen 💪😎🦵 But I also don’t want to comprise my health, hormones and performance. Which so far so good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m mainly paleo. So meat, veg, fruit & nuts. Almost no grains. I’ve been eating a little bit of organic rice. No dairy. No legumes. Next to no nightshades. And low FODMAP most of the time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Macros wise I’m not sure. Intuitively I’ve been eating a little more carbs, probably around 30g per breakfast lunch and dinner plus a little more in my snacks. I’ve intuitively reduced my fats by either smaller portions (ie less nuts per serving or a smaller piece of dark chocolate) and by not adding fat to some things (like grass fed butter on broccoli or MCTs to my smoothies). And for protein, I’ve kept it about the same. Probably about 20-40g per meal and 10g-ish per snack. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall I’m trying to produce a mild caloric deficit (ie take in less calories than I’m using) so that I lose fat. I’m adding to the deficit by adding in 20minute bouts of mild to moderate cardio 2-3x week and as mentioned in other recent posts resistance training for 30min 5x/wk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another key factor that I’m aiming for diet wise is to feel a little hungry. That’s my way of intuitively knowing I’m in a deficit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My thought is that if it’s easy, if there’s no challenge, there’s probably little to no change. That said, I’m not letting myself get extremely hungry. No extremes! If I’m getting quite hungry, I’ll eat, even when not planned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s about it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve gone into a little more detail in the YouTube video that I just posted up today😁 link in bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 // this is a picture of a typical dinner = grass fed beef burg + boiled Swiss chard with ACV & salt and roasted yam and Japanese sweet potato (roasted with avocado oil, herbs & salt) Meat, greens and starchy veg. Pretty basic. And still super tasty!
  • Current state of affairs with mah arms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I train upper body 2x per week, Tuesday’s and Thursday’s for about 30minutes at a fairly high intensity. Little rest between exercises. And I vary my reps & sets depending on the exercise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One day is more of a push pull style of workout and the other a little more shoulder focused, although I add shoulder work to both days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t train biceps specifically. No bicep curls. Because my biceps grow really easily and I don’t want them any bigger. Please shrink biceps🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I focus on larger movements like rows, pull-ups, push-ups and overhead pressing to put a greater emphasis on my back and chest as opposed to arms (although they’re still involved). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think another shoulder builder that I do regularly is all sorts of variations of planks. They require a lot of shoulder work if performed properly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’d like to see more of what I’m doing on a regular basis, what I get for groceries, current diet, some of my workouts, I’m posting it all in video form to YouTube. Just search “ Danni Feinstein” on YouTube and you’ll find me😊
  • Nice exercise to help build a nice shoulder cap ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know the name of this machine but it’s usually used for hip extensions... Anyways, this another great use for it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MODIFIED MACHINE LATERAL RAISES ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How to... 1. Kneel in front of the machine. I put a mat down to cushion my knees. 2. Essentially you want to adjust the height of the lever so that it sits at the lower end of your upper arm, at about elbow height. 2. Brace your core (ass to shoulders and everything in between) 3. In a very controlled fashion, abduct your arm (i.e. lift your arm to the side away from your body). 4. Focus on activating the lateral aspect of your deltoid (aka the medial delt aka the side shoulder muscle). 5. Make sure to control the lowering portion of the exercise just as much as the raise. 6. Do not shift your body or use momentum. That’s cheating. And you’ll cheat yourself of sexy shoulder gains. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *do not be afraid to look silly trying this out! I think I bonked my head a few times and re-adjusted like 10 times before I got it juuuust right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wait for it...! Tomorrow I’ll post my boulder shoulder gains 💪😄✌️
