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 is ideal to get in some healthy carbs and protein soon after a workout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reason being… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you workout, especially resistance train or do a high intensity style workout, you burn through your body’s sugar stores (glycogen, the storage form of glucose, sugar, in the body) AND you create micro-tears in your muscles that then become bigger and stronger if you recover properly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To recover from this you need to replenish with carbs and protein, carbs restore glycogen and the amino acids in protein repair & build muscle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So WHY do you want to get these in SOON AFTER A WORKOUT… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. because there is a window post workout (about 30-60min) in which the body’s uptake of these macro nutrients is increased. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. to avoid a blood sugar crash and subsequent hanger, anxiety and then making a bad food choice or over-eating because you were desperate for food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. to bring your cortisol (stress hormone) down which naturally spikes from the stress of exercise. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone (think breakdown) so in order to repair and recover from a legit workout you need to quell catabolism and become anabolic (think building) via a reduction in cortisol and an increase in insulin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💁🏻‍♀️Long story short I always bring a protein and carb rich snack for right after my workouts and lately it’s been this smoothie👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSE SMOOTHIE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + 1 cup frozen raspberries + 1 cup filtered water or coconut milk (add a little more if it won’t blend) + 1/2 avocado + 2 tbs collagen powder + 1-2 tbs cocoa powder + 1/2 tbs psyllium husk powder + 1/2 dropper liquid vanilla stevia (sub for 1 tbs maple syrup if that’s what you’ve got) + a dash of Redman RealSalt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Blend all ingredients until extra smooth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hashtag #dfeinfit so I can see all of your recreations! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smoothierecipe #avocadosmoothie #postworkoutsnack #healthyrecipe #guthealth #highproteinmeal #collagen #postworkoutmeal #eatforhealth #vancouverfitness #vancityfit #coquitlam #vancouverhealth #hormonehealth #wholefooddiet
  • I might not be able to walk tomorrow😅 it’s fine. everything’s fine! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But no seriously. My body is getting sorer as I type😆 my chest, forearms, lats, poor callused hands haha It’s all good! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyways I’m headed to Sasachatoon😋 as I type this and didn’t have the time to hit a class this morning at RPCF so I scoured IG last night for a workout (because I wasn’t feeling like programming my own). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Naturally I went to the cross training ab queen’s IG Miss @clairethomas for inspo🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This workout is curtesy of her💪🏼👸🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 21 minutes EMOM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Back squats x10 2. BB alt. Reverse lunges x10 total 3. Assault bike x10cals ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + FEB 5 min ABS score = 1 + 28 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hoawah that was a svetty one and a burner! The best kind right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started with a weight that felt fairly easy on the 1st round because this EMOM is 7 rounds (70 squats, 70 lunges, 70 cals on the bike)🥵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 7 was the perfect number. My legs were jello by the end. Mission accomplished! Thanks Claire!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Friday (almost Saturday) folks! Crush your workout and eat your veg 🥦🥑🍠 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #EMOM #workoutideas #girlswholift #glutegains #functionalfitness #backsquats #lunges #squats #assaultbike #workoutinspo #vancityfitness #assualtfitness #vancouverpersonaltrainer #vancouverfitness #burkemountain #portcoquitlam #coquitlam #emomworkout #lululemon #fitnessinspo
  • Tested & approved ✔️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You all know that stank that develops on your beloved workout gear after being sweated on countless times🙊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bummer is that eventually it doesn’t come out in the wash and it just stinks the moment you sweat in it again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well... here’s what I’ve been doing to prolong my gym wear and it works! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My DE-STANK PROTOCOL for workout gear ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + bring water to a boil in a large pot + add vinegar (about 1/5 the volume of water) to the pot once boiled + add dank workout gear + simmer for an hour or so, stirring occasionally haha I feel like I’m writing a food recipe + then turn stove off and slowly add about 1/2-1cup aluminum free baking soda to pot and stir to bubble away the rest of the odor + let clothes soak in this mixture another hour or so + remove clothes from pot and wash in washer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CAVEAT!! Your clothes will probably smell like salt and vinegar chips for a bit. I find it takes about 4 washes to get the vinegar smell out. That said, this smell is WAAAY better than the other smell in my opinion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📢 If you try this let me know how it goes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lululemons #outdoorvoices #workoutclothes #girlswholift #crossfitter #crossfitgirl #vancityfitness #vancouverfitness #lecreuset #workoutideas #nikewomen #naturaldetergent #diycleaning
  • We tend to overestimate what we can do in 1 year and underestimate what we can do in 5-10. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Boy, this is 100% true for me doing a gad dang 15 ft. (I think) rope climb! 🤯And working for myself! And me being able to intuitively eat. And and and... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚡️Be consistent with taking action towards your goals daily (in the short term). Give yourself grace if you didn’t accomplish exactly what you hoped for last year. And set your goals high for the next 5-10 years 👊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ropeclimb #crossfit #crossfitgirls #strongisthenewsexy #crossfitworkout #girlswholift #goalgetter #goalsetter #goaldigger #fitnessmotivation #workoutinspo #rockypointcrossfit #coquitlam #vancityfitness #vancouverfitness #personaltrainervancouver #lululemon #nikewomen #nikemetcon
  • In a lot of circumstances, your gut feeling or what you know in your heart is the better decision and will save you a whole lot of time from not over thinking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍽 When it comes to what and how much to eat, just pausing a moment and asking yourself “Will this nourish me?” “Do I feel this is the right amount?” can give you exactly the answer you need (but perhaps not the one you want to hear). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏋🏻‍♀️ The same thing goes for exercise. Ask yourself “Should I workout today?” “Is my excuse valid?” Go with your gut or with your heart and you won’t be lead astray. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me, I’m so hooked to exercise that I need to really listen to my gut for when it’s the wrong time to workout because my brain always says “you’ll feel better afterwards” but some days I just know deep down in my heart that I need to rest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you struggle to get your workout in, you’ll feel it in your heart or know in your gut that it’s the right thing for you to do for your wellbeing and happiness. Listen to it. Just do it ✔️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨The more you listen and follow that guidance, the easier it gets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙇🏻‍♀️ So channel that intuition, your gut feeling & knowing within your heart, to do or not do that something that been stirring over in your mind lately 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mindfulness #mindfuleating #intuitiveeating #selfcare #intuition #gutfeeling #higherself #selflove #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #weightlossjourney #eatbetternotless #nourishnotpunish #foodfreedom #overexercise #overexerciserecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #fitnessgoals2020 #exercisegoals #vancityhealth #vancityfitness #vancouverpersonaltrainer #portcoquitlam
  • My February before picture for Feb Ab Challenge 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 go take yours now if you haven’t! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚠️ But before you think that you’ll have abs by the end of the month, let’s be realistic, it’s only 5 minutes of exercise a day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Significant changes require significant changes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5 min ain’t significant 😑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What you can realistically expect from doing the Feb Abs challenge is a stronger core - increased strength and endurance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ COMBINED with a dietary change, you may be able to make those visual changes significant! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For myself, I’m trying not to eat at least 2 hours before bed and not go back for 2nds of my evening treat. I love my evening snack (usually dark chocolate and banana chips, maybe a few Smart Sweets) but I tend to over do it and eat to close to bedtime which then messes up my sleep. So this is a challenge for me! But even after just this last week I notice a visible difference in my mid section and skin as well as non-visible improvements in my mental clarity & mood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So why don’t you also join me in making a dietary change as well! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⭐️ What’s an area of eating or drinking that you think you need to change for the better of your health and figure?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #iabsolutelylovelyfe ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #abs #fatloss #weightlosstips #fitnessmotivation #fitnesschallenge #absaremadeinthekitchen #healthyweightloss #weightlossgoals #fitnessgoals #bodygoals #goaldigger #betterhealth #vancityfitness #vancouverfitness #coquitlam #burkemountain #absworkout #eatforabs #progresspicture #beforepicture
