Daryn is a flexible, creative and professional trainer. Each workout is unique, challenging and engaging so you never feel like you are plateauing. Don't be surprised if you are asked to carry a rice bag down a flight of patio stairs, or do an overhead press with a wood log or hold a triangle pose while looking at her fabulous NYC views. Being 6 weeks postpartum with my 3rd child is when I started my journey with Daryn. It was the dead of winter and near impossible to find the time or energy to workout with an infant. Daryn not only helped provide a place I could bring my baby, but she

Daryn is a fantastic trainer who really personalizes your workouts to address your needs. She motivates and encourages you without being overbearing or drill instructor-like, which I appreciate, and adjusts plans on the fly as necessary. Being one on one with her means that she can keep a close eye on your form and make corrections mid-set as you need it, so you can be confident that your form is safe and effective. I highly recommend Daryn as a personal trainer!

Daryn's training is professional, informed and convenient. She knows how to train you safely and will meet at times that work for your schedule. And, she has a space for your kids to play while you workout. She is able to tailor her sessions to work on problem areas and protect you from injuries. I've enjoyed training with her and she's fun to hang out with-so that's a plus too!
