Daniel Cano

I'm from San Antonio, TX, but I have lived in the Austin area most of my life. I grew up loving sports and being competitive. My family and friends are a big part of my life and are where I spend most of my time outside of fitness. I've had a Dutch Shepherd mix named Pinky for 2 years that's always with me. I love living life, from festivals to kickbacks. Also love doing things like going to the movies and reading good books. Sundays are my favorite days.

A turning point in my fitness journey was being diagnosed with Testicular Cancer in 2020. I was very fortunate to have caught it early (Level 1), where it was treatable. It was a very difficult time, however, going through the process alone at the beginning of the pandemic. I was also in the middle of changing career fields from the legal field to fitness and wellness. Thankfully, I am currently in cancer remission. Amidst all that change, I was grateful to have a training program to follow and a community that helped support me in my fitness journey. I was able to recover a lot faster and, as a result, became even more passionate about helping others through their fitness journey.

My purpose as a coach is to help others live healthier lifestyles for themselves and their loved ones. In that effort, I specialize in Functional Strength Training to help people in their everyday movements and for athletic performance. I also believe in the importance of Conditioning and increasing VO2 max in every training program. I'm passionate about unconventional fitness as well, using tools such as Kettlebells, Steel Maces, Landmine Movements, and Sandbags. If there was one unconventional tool I would always recommend the most, it is Kettlebells. It's the one unconventional tool I'm most passionate about, and I recommend it to everyone. Kettlebells are a tool for strength, conditioning, and mobility. To see my clients reaching their full potential in fitness and life is very fulfilling to me and why I love to coach.
