Who We Are

Coach Darell Dansby

Personal Trainer

Hi, my name is Darell Dansby.

I am a Army Veteran that served from 1992 to 2001 for this great country.

From an early age, I fell in love with anything having to do with strength training and how amazing the body is. I wrestled in high school and then enlisted into the United States Army where I continued wrestling for the Army post team in Germany. In 1997 I got stationed at Ft. Hood where I tried out for the 3 Corps Powerlifting team and made it. With this experience, I hold numerous titles such as 4 time Texas State Champion, and 1st place at Military Nationals.

I am still active in the sport even after a back injury sidelined me for several years in 2010. I also lost 2 fingers on my left hand from an atv accident in 2023 but that has not stopped me from progressing forward. I will be back on the powerlifting platform next year. I love to share my talents for developing strength through the body and the mind and how to overcome obstacles in life. At 50 years old I still compete in Powerlifting, catch wrestling and obstacle course racing. I look forward to working with anyone that is ready to get stronger physically and mentally no matter where you are at or your age. I hold several certifications and constantly strive to learn more in this amazing industry.

Let me show you how to be stronger, more confident, and love working out.

When I first began training with Coach D I was scared. I thought having a trainer was for the big boys. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I actually made the decision to hire him as my trainer. The first couple weeks made me nervous but I did it. As he continued to coach me I continued to get stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is amazing what the body can do when you push it to your limits.

I had no goal when it came to exercise but after a month of training with Coach D I had a plan to get stronger. One push-up became fifty, no pull-ups became twelve, one 5k became forty and one OCR race became eleven. I had no idea that this would be my life after 40. It was all because Coach D trained me and I worked hard and had faith in my ability to beat my goals. Whether you have one injury or multiple he can work around it. He will coach you to your limit and push you to your next. Training is not always fun but with Coach D you never know what you’re gonna get! He is an amazing coach and I highly recommend him.

He knows his stuff, on both nutrition and exercise, and will take the time to make sure you understand the whys of health and fitness. He will modify any exercise to your personal ability and will work around any injuries you have to get and keep you in the best shape possible. He will always answer any questions you may have and is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that you have all of the resources that you need to be successful.
