Driven, passionate, fun and full of laughter, Danny Johnson, is a high-energy speaker who can dish it to you straight, but with just enough sugar to make you want more. Danny-J, is a serial entrepreneur who has created multiple successful brands and online businesses with one underlying principle: “Make People More Awesome(r).”

She won Ali Brown’s 2012 Entrepreneur of the year award, lived through being paralyzed at age 22 and was a suicidal and pregnant teen, with quite a turn-around story. She owned a very successful personal training and online-training business, No Excuses, and has helped thousands of people lose 10-100+ lbs. She coached fitness competitors to the stage and has even graced the stage as a National Level Athlete and Fitness Magazine Cover Model herself.

She has been interviewed as a trainer and an entrepreneur on numerous podcasts and was featured on Huff Post Live. More notably, online, she co-founded, The Sweaty Betties, one of the largest online fitness communities for women, to teach the truth about nutrition and exercise. Danny is committed to helping women find their TRUE issues. She’s not afraid to talk about what others don’t want to talk about. When it comes to depression, suicidal thoughts, adrenal fatigue and abuse, she can call it out and empower those who feel like they are stuck. Her major goal in life is to allow every woman to see the power she already holds and shine a bright light on those who have a story to share.

She believes that things don’t happen to us, they happen for us, and its our responsibility to share those lessons with each other. Danny-J lives by sheer example, calling herself out on her own BS, while living a lifestyle purely created. She moved into a Motorhome and traveled the country for a year with her Big Tattooed husband and two dogs and she currently runs a small zoo in Southern Utah.
