Effect Fitness

There are no words to explain the expierence of Daniel and Effect Fitness. I have tried everything and thought I would just be overweight. Then, I met Daniel and did a 6 week challenge. Those 6 weeks changed my life! Daniel's genuine support of you as an individual and your weight loss journey is hard to find. His passion bleeds through in every workout to ensure you get the most out of every session. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, or non existing one, he will provide the necessary tools to be successful. I have had incredible results in a 6 week time and will continue with Effect Fitness for the foreseeable future. More...

I recently completed the 6 week fitness and nutrition program with Daniel Johnson, and I'm impressed with the results! I didn't know I could get my body to look like this in just 6 weeks. Daniel put together an effective workout program while helping to fine tune nutrition by managing macros. I plan on continuing along with my training; if I could achieve these results in 6 weeks, I'm excited to see what more time spent could return. The first couple weeks were a bit of a warm-up and took some figuring out how to get into the routine. It felt great to hit a rhythm by week 3 or 4 and really feel like I was making progress. My overall health and well being seemed to improve as well. The nutrition side took a bit of discipline (weighing and managing portions) but made a huge impact as well. That's what stuck out to me the most: how easy it is to ignore serving size. When you stop to really pay attention to actual serving size and what you're putting in your body, it really does add up! So that's been a huge benefit as well: a heightened awareness of what I'm putting in to my body. While I didn't drop that much weight over the course of the program, I built up muscle and certainly met my goals. I was thrilled with my experience with Daniel. He took time weekly to discuss goal and help with any questions over the phone. He was always easily accessible and extremely knowledgable with exercise form, nutrition suggestions and supplements. It feels great to feel great again! More...

I’ve trained with my coach Daniel Johnson of Effect Fitness on and off for several years. I’ve been so grateful for the level of thought and care he has put into each of our sessions. The first six weeks established a wonderful base for my success. Through his nutrition and fitness guidance I initially lost over 20lbs and drastically improved my wellness. Over the years he has helped me recover from a work related back injury, put on muscle and prepare for pregnancy. I was able to remain active and maintain a physically demanding job up to my delivery. I’m thrilled to be back at Effect Fitness post delivery starting my 6 week challenge. More...

I participated in Effect Fitness's 6 week challenge with Daniel Johnson as my coach. I am significantly stronger and even met my goal weight before the 6 weeks was over. Daniel was encouraging and realistic about balancing nutrition and exercise with my life as a father, husband, and professional. With all these things going on in my life, I did not feel like the challenge was something which drastically changed my life and yet I have received drastic results. Post-challenge, my body is craving the exercise that Daniel put me through. Where I could barely do two pull ups in a row, I can now do 10. Where certain pants were placed in the corner of my closet, they now have new life with my slimmer waist size. However, none of that compares to the positive impact it has had on my wife's libido, which of course is none of your business and yet, isn't that kind of the point to all this? :) More...

I’ve been training at Effect Fitness for a few years now and can, honestly, say that my expectations have consistently been met and exceeded. My workouts are fun yet challenging, involving a variety of exercises catered to my body’s needs. I saw drastic results in my first six weeks on a diet and fitness program tailored to my specific abilities, with aims to meet my personal fitness goals. My trainer, Daniel, walked me through every step of the user friendly program, making changes as my body changed. All of this together lead to me losing nearly 30lbs!Needless to say, I would not look anywhere else for my fitness needs! More...

I recently completed the 6 Week training program at Effect and I'm very happy with the results. I'm getting married in September so I wanted to get in good shape, not just for the photos but for my lady (PS - she's very pleased with the results too! ). Daniel did a great job instructing me and my group of guys on proper techniques, patiently answering any dumb questions, encouraging us, etc. The first few weeks were good - decent conditioning without totally killing me. But I really felt the results when the program ramped up in week 3 after. I started feeling muscles I never knew existed. My posture, normally poor and hunched, is much stronger. And, most important, my beer gut disappeared! The diet portion of the program was great too, and kept me aware of how I was treating my body even on the "off" days. The entire program was well designed to balance out the exercises and prevent injury while getting you stronger and more fit. Even the buy-in was a smart idea. I was a little skeptical of that part at first but, along with the encouragement from my partners, it kept me in the game deep into the later weeks. The Effect gym is great too - well equipped, easy to use, and full of supportive folks. I highly recommend the 6 Week program to anyone. I feel great, look great (in my modest humble opinion), and I plan on keeping it up, even after the Big Day ;) More...

I came to Daniel's studio with the intent of rehabbing an atrophied left leg/hip/glute due to a prior injury. Under his teaching and training, not only have I started to have MUCH less pain and MORE movement in my leg, but I've grasped a greater understanding mentally and physically how the lack of movement in my hip effected my kinetic chain. I cannot express enough gratitude towards Daniel in his patience, pushing, and knowledge base to drive me forward.Short story...I highly recommend his fitness studio. Thanks Daniel. More...

Couple of basics. (1) Working out is hard so you might as well do it with a great trainer and person. Daniel is both. (2) You might as well do it right. My least favorite Danielism is that "if a rep isn't right [using correct form] then it doesn't count." No corners cut and no reps off with Daniel. You will work very hard and he will help you every step of the way. Sometimes more than you want!I can't recommend him enough. More...

Daniel Johnson's program works! I came to him wanting to get in better shape, and the exercises and techniques he taught me actually relieved me of some chronic work-related pain I had had for years. We discussed what I do (kitchen work) and which areas it affected the most, and worked at it from there. I Absolutely recommend him. More...

Daniel's style of personal training is just that, personal. I went to him wanting to work on my form, and that is exactly what we did. He showed me what I was doing wrong, as well as what I was doing right so that I can get the most out of my workout. Daniel made me realize that I was being pretty passive with most of my movements and showed me some adjustments to make them work better.
Truly an eye opening experience.

He's also a certified yoga instructor, which I think is so great!!! Thanks Daniel! More...

I worked with Daniel for a few years and in that time he worked with me to meet my various needs in each phase. He never took the approach that any one thing was ultimately right or best. He worked with me, paying very specific attention to not only what I was saying my goals were, but helping me see possible improvements to my body or movement range that would ultimately help me achieve my goals. From how I overcompensated using my shoulders, to an outward turned foot, even to hip stretches...small things I couldn't see because I was too focused on being strong and toned. If I can say anything about Daniel, it's that he is caring about and thinking about your wellbeing even when you are not. He is thoughtful, smart, engaging, knowledgeable, trustworthy, thorough and effective in his methods. I would recommend him to anyone. He will be better for you than you know you need. More...

I can’t recommend Effect fitness enough. Daniel truly has an intuitive gift when it comes to evaluating and implementing a personal fitness plan. I’ve recently started training in the semi-private class setting. There’s something about training with a few other people that makes me push myself just a little bit harder. I’m really excited about the new format and Daniel makes it fun and challenging. He’s also a wealth of information when it comes to diet and nutrition. More...
