Dan Bentz

Born and raised in central WI, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse with a BS in Exercise and Sports Science, along with a Double-major in Spanish. I have been living in the Chicago area providing Personal Training services since 2004. I’ve accrued several certifications within the Health and Fitness Industry, along with invaluable continuing education and experience along the way. I enjoy running, cycling, and lifting/circuit training in the gym. I’ve participated in several Olympic Distance/Sprint Triathlons, 2010 Chicago Marathon, Half-marathons and several 5-10mi race events, Tough Mudder, etc. I enjoy challenging myself, testing my limits, and bringing that experience and knowledge into the lives of my clients in order to better relate. Background in Soccer, Wrestling and running Track.

First and foremost I focus on the client's goals, needs and expectations. From there, I work on that clients abilities and capabilities, always presenting a challenge within the client's day-to-day. Safety first coupled with appropriate challenge.

To be assessed in a way that their body allows. Everybody is different and unique, and not everyone moves the same. Expect a unique experience, with meaning and a reason behind everything we do. We’ll always focus on client’s goals and capabilities, and address any injuries or concerns rather than simply skipping over or ignoring them.

Running, cycling, lifting, enjoying the family life with my wife, newborn son and our dog, watching good movies and checking out local concerts, festivals and traveling to places I haven't been.
