Inward Motion Testimonials

Daniel Ward is a remarkable trainer. As I am someone who had never worked with weights, he has demonstrated great skill making our workouts challenging but also enjoyable. He is the best!
- Mayor John Hickenlooper

I have been working out for years, mostly on my own. Here's what I say about Daniel. I get more out of a forty minute workout, never mind an hour, with Daniel than two hours on my own. He is the best trainer I have ever had. He understands pace, understands my capacity and delivers a specialized workout to get the most of our time together while ever aware of my limitations. A real pro. I would recommend him to anyone. Ask my mom and wife!

As a trainer and a friend, there is no one better than Daniel. He designs customized workout programs that meet your individual needs and expectations. He makes you work hard, but it is always with a purpose and it pays off. When it comes to accomplishing fitness goals, I can't think of anyone better.

Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel in both personal training and choreography. His innovative ideas and continuous research in the field brings a fresh outlook and perspective to each session. It is always challenging and different. Being a professional fitness competitor, my fitness routines are constantly changing, and without Daniel's choreography I wouldn't have made it this far in the sport...I will never go anywhere else for my choreography, he's the best!

After having a baby and feeling my body become something unrecognizable, I thought my goals for toning and weight loss were far fetched. I have worked out a lot in my life and felt like I knew what to do. Sometimes you just need that extra help. Daniel really pushed me, motivated me and helped me achieve my goals.  His patience and easy going demeanor are real assets. Once I had my body "back", I felt so good I had to continue. I look forward to my twice weekly workouts with Daniel.

InWard Motion Rocks! My relationship with Daniel is definitely a Love/Hate relationship. I have always been pretty athletic and Healthy….Daniel has taken me to an ENTIRE new level. The nutrition program keeps me losing the pounds and yet eating all day. I have always been a "dieter" and now I eat regular healthy food all day long. The work out program is a blast...definitely hard and for sure challenging. There is never a dull moment between the cardio, weight & strength training. With the Customized Program which he created for me, I have and continue to change my body composition and shape. I LOVE IT!

While pregnant, I was instructed by my doctor not to work out due to being high risk. This was the longest I'd gone without working out in 10 years! I felt very overwhelmed starting out, but Daniel was (and is!) amazing at keeping me focused and motivated. I'm not back to my pre-pregnancy weight, if not a little smaller, and in the best shape of my life!

InWard Motion changed my life in 2004. I have always been self conscious of my body, mainly my BBL (Belly, Butt & Legs).  When Daniel asked me what I wanted to achieve by training, I told him I wanted to work my BBL so that some day I would feel confident wearing shorts. Now in 2007, my confidence has spilled into other parts of my life. Working out with the right fuel (food intake) has changed my mood, energy and confidence. It's also allowed me to work full-time, finish my undergrad and now enter law school. I will never forget a man who trained in the same studio as I, stopped me in a grocery store parking lot and asked if I was the woman Daniel had jumping and running across the studio! Needless to say, the variety of routines kept me so busy I did not realize what I was doing or how far I have come since my first training session.
- Elena Vigil

Daniel seems to have an unlimited supply of different exercise ideas and a very encouraging attitude to keep the workouts interesting. I've been a client of Daniel's for a year now and I am constantly improving without burnout.
- Patrick Winfield

I have been training with Daniel for about a year and a half now. I appreciate how flexible he is and how he is consistently modifying my program. This can be to meet the needs of different sporting events I’m participating in, to target specific body parts, to accommodate and injury, or just to keep things fresh and challenging. I feel that my time training with Daniel is time very well spent. It has paid big dividends in my overall strength as well as my performance in other sports. Simply put, Daniel is an outstanding trainer!
- Leanna Harris

Working with Daniel (and Bridgette) changed my outlook on competing in fitness. Not only did I have fun leading up to the show, but I felt fully prepared once I was on stage. Daniel is a professional in every since of the word and thorough from beginning to end in competition training.
- Ms. Fitness USA Taryn Bagrosky

This October marks my second year training with Daniel. When I started in 2006, I thought all I needed was a jump start…something to get me going. I had just enough energy and stamina to get through the work day but nothing left over for fun.

Daniel put me on a nutrition plan with lots of choices and I met with him twice a week. Within the first month I could tell a significant difference! My clothes fit better and my energy levels increased...it was almost like adding hours to the day! Overall my life became more balanced.

Two years later, I'm still hooked! No two workouts are the same and he continues to take my fitness to the next level. It's been one of the best investments I've made for myself.

I still have those days when the Reese Cups call me but Daniel continues to keep me on track and committed to be the best I can be. I can honestly say age is just a number, even when its almost 57!

From the first meeting with Daniel, I knew my life would begin to change for the better. Little did I know it would be a complete transformation – body, mind and spirit. I have been working with Daniel since July 2006. I have always exercised but did not know how to “train.” Daniel’s style is so motivational, educational and really fun. He is the true professional!
In April of 2003 I suffered a severe stroke and had left side paralysis. I achieved a 95% recovery. With Daniel’s training, I have improved my balance and strength significantly to almost 100%. I am stronger and healthier than I have been since my teenage years. I am in my mid-50’s and feel better than I have in 20 years.
Daniel’s commitment to his client’s overall health is such a motivator. Every day I see Daniel is exciting and challenging. Without Daniel I would be doing the same thing I had done for years with little to show for it. I now have muscles and strength I thought I was too old to achieve. I thank Daniel for my new found wellness!

When I began training with Daniel I was at my heaviest and feeling very uncomfortable with my body. My first conversation with Daniel I told him I had two requirements – NO mirrors and NO people! He met my demands and set me up with a 12 week nutrition plan. Not only did I start to see results quickly but I found a coach who believed in me when I struggled with it. He keeps me motivated, changes my routines, keeps my workouts fun and always pushes me to a new level of strength and endurance. Daniel helped me change my whole life!

Daniel is the source of inspiration during perspiration!
- Leslie McKay

Daniel is always positive, encouraging, motivational and never let's me get bored. He knows how to push me past what I thought were my limits and even lets me complain - as long as I do it while lunging or running stairs! He is the best trainer I've ever had.
- Karen Crummy

I've been overweight most of my life and finally got to the point where I wanted to do something about it. Losing my job and having my husband deployed to Baghdad, all within the same time, I found myself eating more and gaining weight. My brother-in-law had been working with Daniel for about nine months and his transformation was so remarkable that I decided to start working out with Daniel too. My first meeting with Daniel was a sit down meeting to tell him what my goals and expectations were. Daniel talked about nutrition and exercise, what I could expect from him and what he expected of me. Hiring a trainer is the easy part, actually working with a trainer is hard work! I clicked with Daniel from the first moment we started working together, which is not to say I always liked him. I despised him during many a workout. In fact, telling him how much I despised him is sometimes the only way I could get through the hour. Some exercises you just won't like but it doesn't matter, they work. In fact, if you whine about it, he'll make you do more, ha! Being a natural born whiner meant I was doing a lot of exercises I didn't like.
 
I can't thank Daniel enough for being tough on me. He helped me realize how much I really can do. He pointed out muscle definition that hadn't been there before and his support kept me going. I wouldn't and couldn't have done it without Daniel as my trainer. Daniel is so knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful and (his girlfriend would agree) easy to look at!
- Angela Bowen

Daniel and I not only made huge strides in my physical fitness and weight loss goals, we had a great time doing it! Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the body and nutrition. If you listen to him and follow his directions, with regard to working out and meal planning, you can't help but hit your goals.
My goal was to lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks (losing fat and gaining muscle). I hit my goal two weeks early and in time for my 50th birthday!

He's supportive and is always prepared for a creative workout designed just for me. He really cares and takes his profession seriously. He is just an all around great guy and I love him!
