Fitness Essentialist is a behind-the-scenes, weekly newsletter about Danny James’ adventures in fitness and family. In this scathing, reimagining of an industry, you’ll get stories and strategies from the field, about real people being human and doing fitness. It’s your anti-optimisation guide to growing in health without being a hostage to it.
The goal of this newsletter is to humanise the struggle of self-care and give you the tools you need to find meaning in your own pursuit of it.
Join the great jailbreak.

I’ve been a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach for almost 20 years, helping everyone from Olympians to grandparents make big changes with tiny levers.
I enjoy training, coffee, and newsletters, and spend most of my time writing about health and performance. This project is where I let loose. I live in Sydney, Australia, with my beautiful wife and twins.
Reach out anytime, or reply to any newsletter edition to start a conversation. You can support this project by buying me a coffee and making my day.
Thank you.
