Danny Terry ’10 said, "As a fitness enthusiast since the age of 15, I started lifting with my high school football and lacrosse teams. Over the past 4 years, I have made bodybuilding my main fitness priority. In the spring of 2015, I competed in the International Drug Free Athletics (IDFA) Montreal Classic and placed 6th in the Men's Physique class. That summer I took a certification course and became a National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer. I currently run several classes per week at a studio gym in Brooklyn (The Living Room BK), as well as train clients privately. I am also working toward my certification as an NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialist (FNS). My immediate goals include building my private client base, continuing to gain experience as a class instructor, and exploring avenues to my own brand of fitness clothing and nutritional supplements. To me, fitness is a way of life and my calling."
