Our Story
Dan launched Patriot Fitness Academy (PFA) in December of 2020 in response to the COVID outbreak to help people live a healthy lifestyle despite gym closures. People being advised to stay indoors, not leave their homes, avoid crowded grocery stores, has led to an increase in weight gain depression and sub-optimal health,
PFA aims to prime your body to help you achieve the highest state of wellness possible, including a bullet proof immune system. These benefits can all be accomplished in the convenience of your own home. PFA is an extension of Dan's fully-operational, brick and mortar fitness business, OC Fitness Coach, in Orange County, Ca, which Dan has owned and operated since 2009. OC Fitness Coach offers a customized workout experience and nutrition for those who prefer in-studio training.
Dan and his team of coaches have successfully trained hundreds of clients of all conditions and activity levels, focusing on healthy lifestyle habits by optimizing exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress management.
The PFA's goal is to service clients outside of Orange County, through an online platform, anywhere in the world and give them all of the tools necessary for optimal wellness. CLICK HERE FOR MORE

Online Clients
I started training online with Dan when my gym shut down last year because of COVID. Although I was skeptical at first, it didn’t take me long to realize Dan’s program was MORE efficient then hiring a training at the gym. The software I use is great to keep me going everyday and I know exactly what I am suppose to be doing every day of the week. Dan also excels in nutrition, and his suggestions for my diet help optimize my body. He knows what he is doing and the results are amazing.
Gina, Downers Grove, IL
Once you get the hang of the process, you understand how easy it is to make this work remotely. Whether you are looking to get stronger with workouts or looking to lose weight through diet, Tihana and The Patriot Fitness Academy can deliver a stellar product all remotely to your phone.
Jessica, Bakersfield, CA
If you need accountability or you don’t feel like going to the gym, this program is for you. Everything can be done from your phone. Dan will customize a plan specific to you and outline which exercises to do with video demonstrations. This is a no-brainer for me. It keeps me honest, and it is much cheaper than hiring a personal training for $80 per hour. The coaching is top quality, and Dan is the best in the business. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose with his free-initial consultation. You will see what I mean.
Kyle, Boston, MA
I don’t like gyms. They are very unappealing and never had a welcoming environment for me. I called Patriot Fitness Academy to see what it was all about. Everything can be done from my own home. I don’t even have equipment, but I have lost 20 pounds in the first 10 weeks on the program. Tihana cares about results and will not let you fail. The nutrition plan she gave me was the least restrictive diet I had ever been on. I feel so much better.
Julie, Lake Havasu City, AZ
Try this program. It’s nearly fool proof if you follow Dan’s lead. Very practical, very easy to follow instructions. All you have to do is stick with it, and you will. see . My Routine is all done from my smart phone. Very happy with the results.
Victor, Valdosta, GA
Tihana is such a great coach who is very encouraging despite my weaknesses. I follow the program online and we meet for a virtual session every week. This is perfect for me because I work a lot and don't always have time to leave my home.
