I have to take a moment to talk about a most wonderful person. First let me say she has a big grizzly bear of lovely husband named David. David trains with Chris and Dani trains with Joe. She did a very kind act for one of our younger members. Out of respect to the young lad, I won’t be stating the specifics of what she did. Just let me say… she deserves a big reward/hug. Dani will know what I am talking about when she reads this. Dani is the most giving person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When I had my strokes a few months back she offered to come over and bring food. She even offered to clean our house. Heck, she even offered to come over and answer the phones for me. Around the gym she is always offering to help others. She is so sweet and so honest, she does so much good. At our bootcamps Dani makes every new person feel right at home.
It is a treat to watch her train, she never gives up, she’ll take on any kind of physical challenge, a true athlete. Joe will proudly tell everyone, that she is one of Irongloves best boxers, even over many of the guys. She reminds me of a steam engine, I don’t know why I chose that example, I think because she trains so darn hard, she is relentless. She will not stop until she perfects whatever she is working on that day, be it the jab or footwork. You ought to see her spar, her technique is just about flawless, man, does she hit hard too. Joe is going to be filming her soon.
I just haven’t seen such a total package in any person, SHE NEVER COMPLAINS OR WHINES. She is a positive thinker and she so gleams of it. I just felt the need to write this to let her know how much she is loved, and to say again, we thank you for the kind act you did for that one certain person. “Enough already” is what you are saying if I know you Dani -heehee. Hey, you deserve every bit plus some more. —by Renene

Yep , Danni is a great lass. She does indeed stick in and loves to better herself. I know first hand how good the girls are with their technique at irongloves, and Danni is a good stylist with a weighty punch too. Go Danni !!! See you soon.

Dani totally rocks, in every aspect; just an all-around incredible person with an incredible spirit. When I watch her box I’m just in awe - she intimates both power and grace! She is my Queen!

I am proud to say that I get to work with Dani quite often. She is an incredible person and an amazing boxer. Dani is always pushing me to keep going, her encouragement has gotten me through a lot of tough moments. She is such a positive, motivating person and has a constant smile on her face that can only bring warmth to the heart. I watch her work extremely hard in the gym and it makes me only want to work harder myself. She is a perfect sparring partner because she is in there to learn and help her opponent learn, not to just beat me up (which she could in a split second). Dani is such an inspiration for me, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to work with and know her. What more can I say but thank you Dani.

You guys! What compliments! Thank you soooo much. Can I use this stuff in my eulogy?? Meeting everyone at the gym has really changed things for me. I always enjoy going there. It seems like Joe and Renene are magnets for great people. I am getting complaints from friends because I’m always talking about boxing or this guy Joe no one has met and who are these “Shock Girls”??? Thank you guys for always motivating me.
