Danielle Harrison: The performer-turned-coach who’s changing the way you train

If you’ve ever taken a StarFit class and felt like you were dancing and sweating at the same time — with a coach who somehow made it all feel fun — there’s a good chance you’ve already met Danielle Harrison. With a background in professional dance and a love for boxing and HIIT, Danielle brings a refreshing blend of performance, athleticism, and pure positivity to everything she does.

From global stage to global fitness coach
Danielle’s love for movement started early — she began training as a dancer at just six years old and went on to earn a BA Honors degree in Dance Performance and Choreography. For 15 years, she traveled all over the UK, Europe, Middle East and East Asia performing for top music artists, theaters, TV shows, and major ceremonies.
But when the COVID-19 pandemic paused live performances, Danielle didn’t stop moving. Instead, she shifted her energy into teaching private dance and coaching group fitness. That’s when her second career — as a fitness coach — took off.

Her unique philosophy: strong, fun, and sustainable
Danielle knows firsthand that not all movement is created equal — especially when it comes to body image. The dance world, she says, wasn’t always kind in its early years.
