About Fitness Essentialist

Fitness Essentialist is a behind-the-scenes, pop-up newsletter about Danny James’ adventures in fitness and family. The stories are raw and unfiltered, where the rubber meets the road and nothing is held back.

You’ll read about real people balancing health, transformation, and life, and often doing it tired and messy. You’ll get tips and insights from a coach with 15 years of experience, helping everyone from Olympians to grandparents make big changes with tiny levers.

The aim is to simplify fitness and fade it into the background. To humanise the struggle of self-care, and give you the tools you need to find meaning in your own pursuit of it.

About Danny James

I’m a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach from Sydney, Australia. I enjoy training, coffee, and newsletters, and spend most of my time writing about health and performance. This is where I let loose.

I live 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. That would make my day.

Thank you.
