Danny Apollo Bruce is the World's #1 Celebrity Personal Trainer, who is also an exclusive multinational advertising name in the health, wellness and fitness industry.

He is also an Olympic - Professional Strength & Conditioning Coach to many of the 2012 Team USA Athletes; has a remarkable undefeated record with 170+ wins through his boxing athletes alone.

He was born, Daniel Apollo Bruce on October 23, 1985. in Bad Bruckenau, Germany to Sareet Opprower, his single Israeli mother; whom was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, along with her two sisters, Naomi and Marlene. Bruce's Grandfather, Erich Theodore Opprower, a survivor of the Buchenwald Concentration camp.

In honor of all the Jews that suffered in the holocaust, Danny Apollo Bruce and his family fast on Yom Kipuur. Danny has been raised on Jewish morals and values. In doing so, he wears two large tattoos which influence his culture in Hebrew, displaying the Star of David with a domino effect on both arms. One Star represents his mother with a chai in the center promoting, Life. One star embodies all of the Israeli-Jewish people who were in the concentration camps, to remember who they are as heroes. One star personifies his grandparents whom were a part of the era and were a motivational memory to him, whom also created his mother. One star acknowledges his Aunt, Marlene Zion, whom passed away with Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer -- December 2012 and is buried in Erez Zion - Israel. . The other star champions his younger brother, Benjamin Bruce and younger sister, Ilana Bruce who spiritually support him in all avenues of his life.

Who Danny is and the adversities he has overcome coincide with his persona, providing context and some clarity of what is offered with his character, so that people could receive maximum edification in all aspects of their person, whether it would be a client, athlete, man or a woman. He wanted to increase his intellectual and physical capital - to deliver results with substance and authority as a Fitness Coach.

Danny adopted and became a foster brother (Dad) to a young man diagnosed with mental retardation and autism since birth - showing him how to read, write, socialize with others, understand different stages of sarcasm amongst illuminating basic independent skills that he was never taught;.

Being arrested, violence, drinking and smoking - the epitome of what many people envision a person whom is bi-racial; struggling with a double confidence, all of which not only has he ever done, but has accomplished the opposite. He is fortunate to have earned a handful of sponsorships - endorsements - partnerships over his lifelong career; one being with the leading Supplement Brand, Myprotein, amongst holding a crescendo of awards and degrees - scholarships from University of Miami, University of Northern Colorado, UCLA, Pikes Peak Community College, State of Colorado & State of California: Olympic Training Center, Special Olympics, The Regional Center, Choosing Independence, Inc., Special Needs Individualized Education, Red Cross - CPR/First Aid, Training Certifications and becoming a nutrition specialist whilst traveling the world, experiencing different cultures furthering his disposition in learning new innovative ideas, staying tenacious as an erudite scholar in the Health & Wellness industry.
