Danielle Elias, strength and strongman coach at Brickhouse Gym
Meet Dani

Live well. Get strong(er).

Dani is the coach behind Elias Strength, built on one simple idea: live well, get strong(er). For over a decade she’s worked with driven people ready to push themselves — whether that means stepping onto a strongman platform, putting real weight on the bar, or finally locking in the nutrition and habits that make it all stick.

Her work isn’t about a quick before-and-after. It’s about building a body and a mindset that actually hold up — in the gym, and everywhere else.

What she does

Four areas. One standard.

Dani specialises where it counts — strength, fuel, competition, and the daily habits most people never lock in.

Strength Development

Programming that adds real, usable strength — not random workouts.

Nutrition Coaching

Fuel and habits built for your life, without the extremes.

Strongman & Comp Prep

Event technique and peaking for the platform, beginner to competitive.

Habits & Lifestyle

The long-term changes that keep the results after the program ends.

Her path

It started with 50 pounds.

Dani’s coaching started with her own transformation — losing 50 pounds and discovering what strength training could really do. Not just to her body, but to her mind.

That spark turned into a career. Since then she’s coached dozens of athletes and clients, helped people lose hundreds of pounds collectively, and guided competitors to podium finishes — while stepping onto the platform herself in strongman and powerlifting.

The difference

Most people don’t actually know how to push themselves. They stay comfortable. They guess. They hold back. Dani’s job is to show you what you’re capable of — and then hold you to it.

This is coaching for people who want more. More strength. More discipline. More out of themselves.

Outside the gym

Same standard. Different terrain.

When she’s not coaching or training, you’ll find Dani outside — hiking, biking, chasing mountains, or hanging with her cats.
