My name is Danielle.  I am a lover of Jesus and all things food and fitness with a serious case of wanderlust.  I think that we live in a beautiful world!! The outdoors is my happy place, and you'll often see me trying to capture the beauty of it all by posting pics of different outdoor scenery.  The water, rolling hills, sunsets (I’m OBSESSED with sunsets).... I find it breathtaking!!  

It feels like a different lifetime, but I am a former gymnast and Navy EOD Technician.  The sport of competitive gymnastics and serving in the military gave me invaluable qualities of determination and hard-work that have carried over into every aspect of my life.  The ability to quit is just not in my blood.  Looking back on my life, and seeing the challenges I have overcome, I thank God for the way He carried me through, molding me into the person I am today.   

What does it mean to live intentionally?  It starts by appreciating the things in your life and making a commitment to value them.  Then you must ACT on it with passion, purpose, and priority.   Seeking to live intentionally is a never ending journey, but one that is filled with many blessings when you keep your eye on the prize; even when the road gets tough.  Intentionality takes time, focus, and discipline to keep your priorities from being demoted.  It is so easy to simply say that something is important to you, but temptations and distractions will easily creep in if you do not put your words into action.  Be intentional by being purposeful with both words AND actions.

"Being intentional with faith, food, and fitness."  I believe in the importance of creating a better quality of life for myself, and I believe in attaining that by striving to glorify God with this life He has given me.  In my opinion, a life without proper nutrition and fitness is a pretty unfortunate one.  With food and fitness, we can take care of this one body that God has given us.  The self-improvement produced from focusing on the balance of the two, brings satisfaction and enjoyment, which is hard to beat.  Being physically and mentally sharp allows us to enjoy life.  But more importantly, a life without Christ is an unfulfilled one.  While a healthy balance of nutrition and fitness is essential for a better quality of life, I believe they can only take you so far during times of great stress. As fit and healthy as we may be, it is not a lasting source of strength that will carry us through those excruciatingly tough times in life.  I’m a believer that it is Jesus Christ who brings up hope and peace during those times. His stength will sustain us when our other sources of support fails.  I depend on Christ and focus on His Word, for it is far greater than any power I could attain on my own.  

What is Florida Mobile Fitness?  Florida Mobile Fitness provides mobile personal training, meaning I come to you with all of the equipment needed for your workouts. I provide strength training programs designed to help increase your quality of life and habit-based nutrition coaching designed to make your results sustainable. As a certified and insured trainer since 2011, I am excited to share my love of health and fitness with y'all.  By providing personal training, recipes, and my confidence in Christ, I hope to use this blog of faith, food, and fitness to inspire you to pursue a healthy lifestyle of your own and start living an intentional life. 

My workouts are focused around functional movement and strength training and can be scaled to any fitness level.  My recipes display balanced and flexible nutrition.  Please note that all "faith" posts are a reflection of my own personal walk with God.

One thing you will not find from me, nor will I pretend to be an expert in this, is perfection.  My workouts, recipes, nutritional advice, research, view points on life... you get the point... will never be perfect.  It will simply be a reflection of me and the knowledge that I have gained over the years.  If in some way I can use my gifts, talents, and passions to inspire others, then Florida Mobile Fitness will have served its purpose.  

I look forward to helping you enjoy a healthy lifestyle!
