Daniel Thorne

Daniel T. Thorne was born at Travis Air Force base in April 1983. He was the second child to Dan and Lupe Thorne. Dan Thorne was a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force. Shortly after being stationed at Yokota Air Force Base, in Japan, Daniel’s father suffered a coronary infarction and died at the age of 36. It was this tragedy that steered Daniel down the path toward living a healthier lifestyle.

Daniel was raised in Sacramento where he attended Jesuit High School. He graduated with honors and excelled Mathematics, Physics, and French. Growing up, Daniel wrestled for four years at the varsity level and played 13 years of competitive club soccer.

While at UC Davis:

Daniel earned a B.S. in Exercise Science. During his original quest to become a physical therapist, Daniel completed numerous internships. Working with the McClellan Air Force veteran affairs physical therapist and number of other private practitioners has allowed Daniel to aid in the rehabilitation of elderly war veterans, elite level athletes, and the average injured motorist. While on campus Daniel also participated in multiple peer advising and youth counseling positions. This experience helped Daniel understand the power of the “mind-body connection” and how the inability to manage stress and anxiety can lead to physical ailments and a decreased quality of life.

After graduation Daniel started personal training with 24 Hour Fitness in Sacramento. On top of his degree and 24 Hour Fitness’s in house certification, Daniel earned two more personal training certifications; one from the National Council on Strength and Fitness and another from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Personal training allowed him to become an advocate for change. Based on each client’s personal needs, goals, and preferences, Daniel constructed personalized health and fitness programs giving his clients both the tools and motivation to achieve their goals. Daniel’s clients were educated on proper nutrition, resistance training, cardio training, recreational activities to do outside of the gym, and living all around healthier lifestyles.

Future Goals

While Daniel began his journey in rehabilitation, his ultimate goal was increasing quality of life. Through his experience, it became obvious that the best way to increase one’s quality of life is actually through preventative medicine and stress management. While prevention is not a new idea, Daniel feels that with today’s forward thinking, this old theory will finally have a chance to be put into practice.
