I sold my business at 44 and retired from full-time work.

I now enjoy a more flexible, freedom retirement lifestyle.

Work is no longer essential or a priority.

I choose:

→ If I work
→ When I work
→ With whom I work

Leaving most of my time free for family, friends, hobbies, interests and travel.

I share content about how you can do the same:

→ Retire early.
→ Enjoy life whilst you are in good health.
→ Lessons from 20 years of retirement freedom.

WHO I AM

I sold my business and left permanent full-time work at 44 for a more flexible lifestyle, allowing me to spend more time with my young family.

I now share my experience to help others do the same.

Before moving to a flexible freedom lifestyle, I:

- Spent 20 years in recruitment.
- Founded and grew a £10 million company.
- Successfully sold my company to a listed PLC.

I help men shred the 'dad bod' & build a 'fit bod' I create your playbook to maximize your time so you can be the CEO of your health and life! I don't sell programs I create LIFESTYLES

Your health is your real currency and most high-performing executives are running their bodies like an over-leveraged asset.

You spend all day leading teams, closing deals, making decisions —but when it comes to your own health?

You’re last on the list.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because you “don’t have time.”

But because no one ever handed you a simple, bespoke playbook for staying strong, lean, and high-performing while living a C-suite life.

That’s where I come in.

I coach busy executives who want to rebuild strength, lose the gut, improve mobility, and reclaim the energy they used to have — without living in the gym or counting every calorie.

Together, we build your system:

✅️Morning + evening bookends to anchor your day

✅️A personalized training program (no thinking, no guessing — I handle that part)

✅️Nutrition structure through macro parameters (just log, don’t obsess)

✅️Mobility + strength designed for longevity, not burnout All in one hub, with weekly check-ins for accountability that actually sticks

I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer 
& Nutritionist, and my work blends strength, mobility, and sustainable habit stacking — built specifically for desk-bound, high-stress careers.

My goal is simple: Turn high performers into healthy performers.

Because your career shouldn’t cost you your body, your energy, or your future.

There’s never a perfect time to start.

Just the moment you decide you’re done running on fumes.

If you’re a C-suite leader ready to operate at peak performance — professionally and physically — check my featured section to book a discovery call.

Let’s build the strongest version of you.

Daniel Intorella

Sit 8+ hours a day?
Do these 6 stretches
 
Desk-bound pros don’t break down because they’re weak.  
They break down because they stay in one position too long.
 
If you sit all day, these are the 6 areas that quietly lock up first: 
 
1. Hip flexors  
2. Glutes  
3. Adductors  
4. Thoracic spine  
5. Ankles  
6. Feet


Ignore them and you’ll feel it in your:  

– Knees  
– Lower back  
– Neck  
– Energy levels
 
These aren’t “mobility drills.”  
They’re maintenance.
 
Do them daily.  2–5 minutes.  
No equipment.  No sweat.
 
Strong bodies aren’t built in the gym alone,
they’re protected between workouts.
 
Save this.  Your future joints will thank you.

Do you ever stretch?

If you don't go to the gym
this post isn't for you
but if you DO go tell me


you don't load the bar like this!

plates face in, always

IYKYK


Did you work out today?

True or false men?

Ladies, feel free to chime in!


Let me just say, 
THIS doesn't not apply in my world
🤣


Do you workout on the weekends?

If you don't believe in God
Just scroll on


There was a time I didn’t believe in God either. I questioned everything. 

Faith. Purpose. Meaning.
 
Life didn’t feel fair, and honestly,
belief felt easier to dismiss than to trust.

Why did God make me gay?
Why did he give me kidney disease?
Why did I have severe acne that covered my body?

These were reasons I was angry at God.
WHY ME!?

Even though I may have felt justified in my reasonings
it stemmed from 'victimhood'.


Somewhere along the way, that shifted.
 
Not through perfection.  Not through success.  
But through stillness, struggle, and gratitude.
 
Gratitude for waking up.  For breath.  For lessons I didn’t ask for but needed.  

For people placed in my life at exactly the right time.

My girlfriend asking me 

"what's the box cutter on my dresser 
next to my bed for?" Yea, dark times here.

 
Faith, for me, isn’t about having all the answers.  
It’s about recognizing I never needed to carry them all alone.
 
Today, I move slower. I listen more. I give thanks often.  
Not because life is easy, but because it’s meaningful.
 
Grateful for the path. 
Grateful for the pauses.  
Grateful for grace.

Today, I know my why, I have purpose 
I have direction!

Using my natural gifts from God to help other's take control of their health not just for a few months but for life.

So whoever or whatever you believe in
just believe...because you are needed.

Keep moving. 
Coach D

What is your purpose here?

24 seconds into LinkedIn and I get this DM…


Bryce slid into my DMs with:
 
“Daniel quick question…  
Are you raising but not seeing enough investor movement?”
 
Say what? Thought to myself

Bryce — my man, I’m a 𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, 
not a startup raising a Series A 😅
 

I admire the confidence though.  
Zero context.  Calendar link already loaded.  

Shooters shoot! Respect
 
But here’s the lesson for everyone watching:
 
If your outreach could be copy-pasted to any human with a pulse,  
it’s not “results-driven” — it’s roulette.
 
Personalization > automation.  
Relevance > volume.
 

My response.
Sending Bryce the baby Chloe GIF.

Seemed fitting, agree?

I'l let you know if Bryce responds.

10+ hours sitting.
0 time “to train.”
Then men wonder why their body quits before their career does.

This isn’t content — it’s Friday morning reps.

Health neglect is quiet.
Until it sends the invoice.

Now I’ve gotta run —
my kids (the horses) are calling,
and they have zero interest in my calendar. 🐎

But just in case you're interested...

Happy Friday.
Do the unsexy work.

41 years old.  
2 kids.  
0 energy left after 6pm.
 
That was Chris when we started.
 
Chris is a father of two boys, a financial advisor, 
and like most dads
he was running on fumes by the time work ended.
 
His goal wasn’t abs.  It was simple:  

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.
 
Before
 
1.  41 years old  
2.  212 lbs  
3.  6–7 hours of broken sleep  
4.  3–4 workouts/week (random, inconsistent)  
5.  Energy crashes by early evening
   
After 12 weeks
 
1.  –𝟭𝟰 𝗹𝗯𝘀 (212 → 198)  
2. + 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 without joint pain  
3. 𝟳–𝟴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 most nights 
4.  3 structured workouts/week (45 minutes) 
5.  Energy left at night — not just willpower
 
But the real win?
 
Chris told me:
 
“I don’t sit on the couch anymore when I get home. I’m on the floor with my kids.”
 
That’s the metric that matters.
 
This is what happens when training supports life instead of competing with it.  

No burnout.  No extremes.  Just structure, consistency, and recovery that fits real life.
 
If you’re a dad who’s strong at work but empty at home
this is your sign.

Also, what's cooler...
This chair or the painting?
 

--------------------------------------------------------
—  I’m Dan. I help desk-bound professionals build strength, health, 
and longevity that outlasts their career.

Everyone wears the hustle hat. 
Few survive the lifestyle.
 
Hustle looks good in photos.  
Early mornings. Late nights. Full calendars.
 
But here’s what rarely gets posted:

Chronic fatigue.  
Poor sleep.  
A body that’s quietly breaking down while your career climbs.
 
I’ve learned this the hard way
and have the 2nd degree burns to prove it.

I've burned out more times than I’ve hit PRs, 
and that’s why my work now focuses on long-term performance.
 
Real hustle isn’t about doing more.  
It’s about doing what you can 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻.

1. Protecting your health.  
2. Managing stress.  
3. Building strength that supports your life instead of stealing from it.
 

Because success that costs you your body isn’t success, it’s debt.  
And eventually, the bill comes due.


Debt that shows up as:  
• Burnout  
• Weight gain  
• High blood pressure 
• Bodies that break before careers do
 
Real hustle isn’t about doing more.  
It’s about doing what you can 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁.


Tell me, has your definition of 'hustle' changed over the years?

My son reminded me of something today


ALL your kids really want is YOU.


Your time > money

Your kids > your career

Your presence > your promotion

Your attention > your phone

Your energy > overtime pay

Your example > your advice


My kids can't speak
so I rely on other nonverbal cues.

Twitching.
Ear direction.
Tail swishing (side to side OR up and down)
Nostril flair.
Stomping.
Energy.
Breath.

A relationship like the one I have with Roc
doesn't just happen.

It comes from being present.


When I got to the farm today after work, 
Roc was in his pen just resting.

It wasn't until I stood next to him that he
fully relaxed...This is what you're seeing.

Feeling of total peace and safety.
You can't buy that. It's earned.


Have you ever been around horses?
(They're magic, I highly recommend)

8 hours in a chair breaks the body 
from the ground up not the top down


5 months ago, my client Tim who's a Lawyer suffered from
• Tight hips  
• Achy knees  
• A cranky lower back
 
Before we started working together
he stretched what hurt.

He foam rolled what was tight. 
He chased symptoms.
 
But he never looked at his 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
 

Your feet are designed to sense the ground, create stability, 
and send clean signals up the chain.  

Sit all day and that system goes quiet.
 
When your feet stop doing their job:  

• Knees absorb force they weren’t built for  
• Hips lose stability  
• The low back becomes the shock absorber
 
In this video, I’m using a 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 to wake up the movements
most desk-bound pros neglect:  

• Foot activation  
• Ankle control  
• Lower-leg stability
 
Fix the foundation, and the cracks stop forming upstream.
 
This isn’t about doing more.  
It’s about doing what you’ve been skipping.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Want the exact framework I use for myself and my clients?

comment 'foundation' and I'll send it to you.


Have you ever used a loop band?

Boundaries don’t make you difficult.

You can be kind.  
You can be professional.  

And you can still protect your time and energy.
 
Going into the weekend with this reminder.

Thanks Mel, love ya!


Agree?

Just got off the phone with one of my client's and he almost bailed on our check-in this week because

He didn't "crush" ONE workout.
 
No PRs.  No sweat-angel on the floor.  No Instagram highlight.

 
Instead, he:  

1. Slept 𝟳.𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀  
2. Didn’t skip training  
3. Had energy left to be present with his kids after work
 
Three subtle wins most people overlook: 
– Earlier bedtime.
– No caffeine after 𝟮𝗽𝗺.
– Trained even when motivation was low.
 
No extremes.  No punishment.  No burnout.
 

This is what progress actually looks like.


How did your workouts go this week?

0 plans for Taco Tuesday.  


I had work today, just a half day because I had my  Nephrologist appointment this morning at 10:30

I also was due for my tissue typing test at the hospital.

So, I took advantage and banged them both out instead of jamming up another day when I have even less time.

I was pulling out of the hospital parking lot and thought 

"Hmm, my favorite Mexican joint is a few miles on the way home."

So here I am, eating a chorizo burrito at Beach Taco's
by myself.

 
Health isn’t just workouts and macros.  
It’s showing up for labs.  
Keeping appointments.  
Managing stress.
 
Then living your life.
 
No guilt.  No “earning” food.  
Just consistency where it actually matters.
 
Sometimes taking care of your health looks like a hospital visit.  

Sometimes it looks like an unplanned burrito 
 
Back to it.

Do you care about impressions?

This is up for debate!
What do you do when you

buy the WRONG flavor?


Suck it up or throw it out and move on?


Have you ever just went into a store 
or even online and THINK you're buying YOUR protein powder
(or anything) 

but by mistake you've done the process too fast and get the wrong one?


On that note,

Try any good protein powers lately?
