Daniel Gaita

My experiences include 4 years as a United States Marine, Division 1 Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, work with Yale affiliated doctors and professors, Fitness Director/Instructor and Manager at upscale fitness facilities in Fairfield county, and over a decade as a certified personal fitness trainer.

Physical fitness and exercise have been staples in my life. I have diligently studied Human Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesthesiology, Psychology and Nutrition. Specifically, I have focused on the interrelationship of these forces on fitness and exercise. Understanding these relationships has helped me design accurate, effective and comprehensive fitness programs for numerous clients varying in age, fitness level and health.

Following my enlistment, I advanced rapidly in the health and fitness industry, advancing from fitness instructor to fitness director, to health club manager and today I operate my own health and fitness consulting company. I have created a multi-faceted personal training business while simultaneously implementing ideas to improve the personal training industry for trainers and clients. I have worked within this industry throughout the last decade to ensure the credibility of personal trainers are maintained at the highest possible level.

I am recognized as an esteemed Master Level trainer by IDEA, the world's leading membership organization of health and fitness professionals, with more than 19,000 members in over 80 countries. Since 1982, IDEA has provided health and fitness professionals with unbiased data, pertinent information, educational resources, career development and industry leadership.

I am also a member of the International Health and Racquet Sports Association (IHRSA) which is the nations leading trade association serving the health and fitness club industry. IHRSA's mission is to grow, protect and promote the health and fitness industry, and to provide its members with benefits that will help them be more successful.

I am the creator and President of the Personal Trainer Listing Service. This web service was created to allow people seeking personal trainers a free, efficient and technologically advanced avenue to locate, compare, and contact personal trainers. The service provides a 1-5 star rating system based on trainers’ combination of certifications, education, and experience. The site is currently ranked in the top 3 of every major search engine when seeking a “personal trainer listing”.

Throughout the last decade I have been featured in, quoted by, or have contributed to multiple fitness industry publications:
