Dänä Olague

Dänä Olague grew up in Riverside and went to local colleges including R.C.C., C.S.U.S.B., and the University of Redlands.  She loves outdoor adventure and staying fit.  She met her husband in 1990 while teaching at an outdoor science school for kids in our local mountains.  They married in 1995 and have been having fun racking up the years ever since!  They spent their 3 month long honeymoon hiking and rock climbing across the western U.S. and Canada while living out of the back of their truck. 
 
Dänä decided to combine her love of education and physical fitness to earn her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology in 1998.  She followed that by earning her teaching credential in Physical Education and her Master's Degree in Education.  After teaching secondary school physical education for almost 8 years, Dänä left teaching to become a full-time mom to a beautiful little girl.  She soon discovered a local mom-friendly fitness group called Stroller Strides which created great workouts for moms and fun for the kids.  It wasn't long before Dänä became a fitness instructor for the franchise and is still enjoying it almost 4 years later. 
 
When her daughter was old enough to attend preschool, Dänä knew she wanted to take the next step toward furthering her fitness career.  In the summer of 2009, she decided to earn her certification in personal training and wanted to complete her observation hours learning from the best trainer in Riverside...Angie Lustrick.  Before she knew it, Dänä was hooked on Angie's positive spirit and enthusiasm for her profession and soon became a trainer for Angie's World.  Within no time at all, Dänä and her husband were seeing Angie for their own nutritional counseling and, as a result, have never felt healthier in their lives. 
 
Now that her daughter is getting older and becoming quite the adventurer herself, Dänä looks forward to teaching her all she knows about the outdoors including, camping, hiking and eventually climbing.  Traveling across this country and to various places around the world is also on the family to-do list.
 
Dänä feels very fortunate to be able to do what she loves and be a mom at the same time.  Her goals include expanding her nutritional knowledge through further education and influencing as many people as possible to lead a healthier lifestyle.  Being a part of the Angie's World team has allowed her to meet some amazing members of the community.  She looks forward to helping folks get stronger and healthier one community member at a time!
