POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi, I’m Danielle! ✨

I realized it’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself, so here are a few things about me:

🤍 I’m 32 years old 🤍 I have an identical twin sister & younger twin brothers 🤍 I’m a Master’s of Social Work graduate
🤍 I’m an Addictions & Mental Health Counsellor
🤍 I’m a Health & Wellness Coach with @gfit_wellness  🤍 I’m a bikini competitor 🤍 I’m a proud cat & dog mom
🤍 Born & raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario
🤍 Only been living in Manitoba for 9 years 🤍 You’ll rarely catch me without an iced coffee or energy drink in hand 🤍 I’m slightly obsessed with croissants 🥐

But beyond all of that...

I’m passionate about helping women build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that actually fit their lives. I believe fitness should add to your life (not take it over!) and that feeling strong, energized, and confident is so much more important than chasing perfection.

Whether you’re here for workouts, nutrition tips, mindset shifts, or a little motivation, I’m so glad you’re here. 🤗

I’d love to get to know you too!

YUP - I said it

Pilates is great for mobility, control, and core strength.

But when it comes to visible definition, getting those glute you have been working so hard on, curves, and that “fit” look most women want…muscle is the driver.

In the beginning of my fitness journey I too once thought that Pilates is what would get me the definition, glutes and physique that I wanted. I’d do Pilates every day some times multiple times in a day hoping I’d reach my physique goals. Turns out I’d just stayed the same. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Strength training with progressive overload is what actually works! It challenges your muscles and the more muscle you build, the more your shape changes. You won’t look “bulky”. You’ll look more fit!

It’s about giving your muscles a reason to grow and Pilates doesn’t do that. Strength training does!

And for glutes? That means lifting weights ✨ by @daniellekfurlong

🍑 Effective Strength Training + Proper Nutrition = Real Glute Gains

Most people assume they need a huge list of exercises to grow their glutes. I used to think that too…but the truth is, more isn’t better if the basics aren’t executed with intention.

When you train with proper form, progressive overload, and enough intensity, even a simple, focused routine can completely change your physique. Pair that with nutrition that actually supports recovery, and your glutes will grow!

🏋🏼‍♀️ My 3 go-to glute building exercises:
1. Hip Thrusts - The king of glute growth!

2. Romanian Deadlifts (Dumbbell or Barbell) - I personally love dumbbells because they let me control the range and positioning more easily.

3. Chest-Supported Cable Kickbacks - One of the best ways to isolate the glute without letting your lower back take over. Slow, controlled, and intentional reps win here.

These were the core of my transformation! Not 15 different exercises, not random workouts, just consistent execution on the fundamentals.

Are you actually training or are you just going through the motions?

If you want to look fit, be strong and actually gain muscle, you need to train like you want it.

No, you don’t have to be crawling out of the gym after a leg day. But you do need to push past the uncomfortable.
Lift a bit heavier. Get that last lil rep in order to provide enough stimulus to the muscle in order for it to adapt and grow.

Next time you’re in the gym try lifting even 5lbs more than last time.
Squeak out that last rep.
I bet you’ll surprise yourself with just how strong you really are 🫨

🍑💜 Ready to build:
your glutes
your strength

1 week post show & I can’t believe the season has come & gone already 🥺

To be honest it still really has clicked that I DID THAT
I’ve definitely been feeling the post show blues but slowly I’m finding my footing again.

I’m so unbelievably proud of what I brought to @canadian_national_proqualifier & I never would’ve thought I’d place 1st in my class & battle it out for the pro card. LIKE WHAAAAAT

My goal for this show (& this season in general) was to enjoy this show, see how I compare to the best of the best in Canada & hopefully get top 5

WELL I exceeded that goal by a landslide 😭🤯

More thoughts & photos to come so prepare to be sick of me…

I can’t wait for 2027 but until then it’s time to grow 🌱🍑

🥇 1st PLACE CANADIAN NATIONAL PRO QUALIFIER 🇨🇦🏆 
Congratulations #TeamDair athlete @daniellekfurlong for placing 1st in her class at her very first open pro qualifier!

Going into this show we had absolutely zero expectations other than to show up, execute the plan and bring the best package we could. The goal was to put ourselves in the mix and see how we stacked up against some of the best. And she did just that 🔥 
Not only did she take home 1st in her class but she battled it out for that pro card and ended up as the runner-up!  
This is what happens when you trust the process, stay patient and consistently check every single box. No shortcuts. No missed opportunities. Just commitment to the process and trust in the work she was putting in. And that trust paid off better than she could’ve imagined!

While the pro card wasn’t ours this time, I know it will be her time soon! We got some great feedback so now it’s time to execute and come back next time undeniable 😈💪🏻 
So proud of the work you’ve put in and the athlete you’re becoming both physically but mentally. This is only the beginning and I know we’re going to keep improving and bring an even better package next time!

I look better at 155 lbs than I did at 120 lbs. And here’s why.

For so long, I thought the goal was to weigh less and I’d be happier. I thought that getting smaller meant I was making progress, and that the number on the scale determined how successful I was.

But building muscle completely changed my perspective!

At 120 lbs, I was smaller, but I wasn’t as strong, didn’t look fit, muscular or confident in my body as I am today.

At 155 lbs, I have more muscle, more shape, and a physique that reflects the years of hard work, consistency, and proper fueling I’ve put into it.

The number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story.

GUESS WHAT!
You can weigh more and look leaner and actually look better. Because contrary to popular belief, the physique you’re wanting, weighs more than you think.

You can build muscle, improve your body composition and change the way your body looks without ever seeing the scale go down.

And this is something I want more women to understand, especially if you’re working toward building your glutes, gaining muscle, and feeling more confident in your body.

✨ You don’t need to weigh less to look the way you want to.

Sometimes, the answer isn’t eating less, doing more cardio, or constantly trying to shrink yourself.

Sometimes, it’s eating ENOUGH to fuel your workouts, lifting with intention, progressively overloading, and giving your body the time and consistency it needs to build muscle.

This is exactly what I help my clients do. We focus on getting stronger, improving body composition and creating sustainable habits without obsessing over the number on the scale.

If you’re tired of chasing a lower number and you’re ready to focus on building a body you’re proud of, I’d love to help you 🫶🏼
