Daniel Meynet
Personal Trainer Pickleball Entrepreneur in Boulder, Colorado
Born on July 22, 1993, in Santa Barbara, California, Daniel Meynet has carved a path through professional athletics into business and advocacy, making significant impacts. His early fascination with sports propelled him to the top echelons of AMA Supercross and Motorcross, where he achieved a top-30 world ranking. This passion for competition was mirrored in his academic pursuits; he graduated magna cum laude from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Communication, holding an impressive GPA of 3.68. His quest for knowledge continues as he progresses through an MBA program at Adams State University, consistently maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
Throughout his professional sports career from 2010 to 2014, Daniel not only represented both the USA and Switzerland due to his dual citizenship but also mentored young athletes. He coached individuals aged 5 to 28, focusing on all facets of professional athletics, including mental, physical, and nutritional strategies. His career took a pivotal turn in October 2014 when he endured a traumatic brain injury that resulted in a week-long coma. This life-altering event spurred him to advocate for brain injury awareness, working closely with Cottage Hospital and the Love Your Brain Foundation to inspire and educate others on the importance of resilience and health.
After retiring from racing, Daniel transitioned into the world of sales and marketing. He quickly became a Sales Coordinator at Happy Linen in 2016, expanding the company's clientele and securing significant contracts. His subsequent role at Swell Athletic Clubs saw him boost membership by 20% through targeted marketing strategies. He also gained valuable experience at Ontraport, where he focused on market research and sales strategy. At Sol Republic, he managed large-scale social media campaigns and engaged in product design.
Daniel channels his energy into his role as a personal trainer at Crunch Fitness in Boulder, Colorado, which he began in May 2023. He utilizes his extensive experience in athletics to tailor fitness and nutrition programs for a diverse client base. He holds certifications from ISSA and is trained in CPR and AED, emphasizing a holistic approach to wellness.
