Latest News:
Danielle has been accepted to compete in the first Arnold Amateur Figure Competition on March 2nd, and then will be competing at the Junior USA Championships in Charleston in late April.  She will also be headlining her own NPC fitness competition (NQ) along with Planet Physique in June 2007 (www.healthyweekend.com).

A little about me.... I grew up as a dancer, in fact I started dancing (ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, modern and tap) when I was only two years old and began teaching dance at age 15. I also was a gymnast from age 6 until 15, and I progressed all the way to Level 8 status (Level 10 is the Olympics). When I entered high school I had a goal to make the varsity cheerleading squad as a freshman so I focused on that and did it! Then we started having practices in a gym to make everyone really fit, and I was hooked but had no idea what I was doing. I was jumping from machine to machine, and had no clue about sets or resting or training body parts at different times in the week, or cardio .... it was sad :). A national level competitor approached me and started working with me my senior year .... he put me on a diet and trained me intensely so that I could prepare for a show. I was completely ready to do it and I was amazed by the transformation my body was making!! I entered my first contest in the open class, and did well even up against 25-35 year olds when I was a 17 year old teenager. From that moment on I was addicted to being on stage and this has been a dream for me.

So now after five years of competitions I have moved up the ranks and I placed in the top five at several national level shows in 2006. My BIG goal for 2007 is to get my IFBB professional status in figure and then I would like to compete in the Figure Olympia in the same year. My short-term career goals include opening and managing my own supplement store (with the help of my sponsors), and eventually I would like to have my own gym with a dance studio inside and to headline my own NPC or IFBB show!! I know that my dreams will come true very soon, I am thankful for the support of my boyfriend, and the time he takes to train me, make my meals, and assess my progress to make sure I am on track. I am also so grateful for the constant support from my sponsors, for believing in me and giving me the freedom to train and focus on my career goals, and allowing me the opportunity to be part of a great winning team.

My web site has been launched at www.DanielleRouleau.com, and my VIP Members Only area is now available with photos, video clips, a forum board, and my training page with details of my contest preparation including my stats and best lifts.  You can see my most recent contest photos and placings as well as my upcoming appearance schedule on the “News” page.  My online journal is accessible at http://daniellerouleau.blogspot.com/.  I am also an experienced personal trainer with specialties in contest preparation for bodybuilders, fitness and figure athletes; I can assist you in the muscle gaining phase, the dieting phase, and the loading phase.  For more information please go to www.DaniFitness.com.
