Tell us more about yourself
What are your personal fitness goals?
To MAINTAIN a BALANCED healthy, fitness lifestyle that is realistic, enjoyable and achievable!!
How will you use your #BiogenFaceOfFitness ambassadorship to inspire women to lead a healthy / fit lifestyle if you win?
I would love to promote education on making good decisions especially when it relates to food and exercises. We tend to fight against these two factors as if they were against us. If we know better we can choose better 🙂
I would like to also be myself, to set a good example for young and older women to take the first step towards fitness, or to start again after giving up or to motivate the ones that are doing well to keep going forward. It is not only about LOSING weight or to look good. For me it is about GAINING quality of life that will reflect physically, emotionally and in many other aspects of our lives.
What health and fitness quote or mantra do you live by?
Comfort Zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there”
“Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Fall in love with becoming the best version of yourself but with patience, with compassion and respect to your own journey” s.mcnutt
Tell us about your fitness lifestyle
I currently workout 6 days a week and I follow a meal plan.
I get to motivate a lot of women on my whatsapp groups every day to find the tools they need to make a change within themselves. They see me doing it and they get inspired by example. Nobody is perfect, we all have to try our best everyday. Good days, bad days we need to show up and keep going.
Fitness lifestyle for me goes beyond getting dressed for the gym…it empowers you to fight depression, choose healthy relationships and to stand up for what is right. You come out so much stronger and get to help others.
Why do you think you’re the Biogen Face of Fitness?
Because I can 🙂 I am a woman that goes through hormone fluctuations, stress from work and life itself, worries, expectations, frustrations, ups and downs.
I choose to rule over my feelings, if I fall I stand up and fix my pony tail again but I REFUSE to go back to where I was before, to feel sorry for myself and to give up.
I want to get this message out there through this opportunity of being the Biogen Face of Fitness. Life is too short. Know better, choose better, live life to the fullest with quality and feeling empowered to empower others!
You are such an excample for all of us..beautiful inside and outside.
I am one of the ladies that you inspire on a daily basis. I am so grateful for the motivation and inspiration. You make me want to be a better version of myself?

Being fit is not about losing weight but gaining quality of life! – D Petit
Being a brand ambassador is not about being perfect but consistently being who you are, day in and day out. Dani gets this and understands consistency of approach is key.
Dani has a beautiful way of showing people that she also struggles, she is also human and when it gets tough.. She invites us all to get moving, pull out our best motivation and keep on keeping on!
