Daniel Ellis - Head Coach - Personal Trainer
Daniel Ellis
Dan has been coaching clients in the Beaverton area for over 20 years — and his passion for the craft hasn’t slowed down for a second.
He picked up his first barbell at age 10 and never really put it down. What started as a personal obsession became a career built on a simple belief: that with the right coaching, almost anyone can transform how they look, feel, and perform.
Over the years, Dan has trained under some of the most respected coaches in the world — Charles Poliquin, Christian Thibaudeau, Eric Cressey, Chris Duffin, and others — and has translated that knowledge into real results for hundreds of clients. From weight loss and muscle gain to injury rehab and athletic performance, he has seen and coached it all.
His approach is methodical, science-backed, and completely individualized. No cookie-cutter plans. No fads. Just smart, purposeful training that gets results and keeps you healthy for the long haul.
