Dangerous Donna

I am an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-EP) with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals improve their health, physical function, and quality of life through evidence-based exercise programming and personalized coaching. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Studies & Human Performance, Magna Cum Laude, from the University of Memphis. Throughout my career, I have combined a strong scientific foundation with decades of hands-on experience to develop individualized exercise programs that improve strength, mobility, wellness, and long-term health.

As an ACSM Certified Autism Exercise Specialist, I design safe, individualized exercise programs that support the unique needs of individuals on the autism spectrum, promoting physical fitness, confidence, and lifelong participation in physical activity. I am also a TPI Certified Golf Fitness Professional (Level 1), applying movement assessment and corrective exercise principles to help golfers improve performance and reduce injury risk. As the founder and former owner of Dangerous Curves Fitness, I successfully built and operated a personal training business dedicated to science-based fitness, client education, and measurable results.

My experience includes individualized coaching, fitness assessments, exercise prescription, healthy aging, functional fitness, and wellness program development. I am passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their highest potential through education, motivation, and evidence-based exercise. I believe every client deserves a personalized approach built on sound science, compassion, and long-term success.

I am currently seeking opportunities in exercise physiology, health and wellness consulting, corporate wellness, fitness education, program development, rehabilitation support, medical fitness, and performance coaching.
