Danielle Gribble

Apex Trainer since — 2018

Since 2015, I’ve embarked on an unexpected journey in the training world, originally stepping into the realm of business at Western Washington University. What began as a chance opportunity quickly unveiled my true passion: empowering individuals to recognize and embrace their best selves. The joy of witnessing transformation in others—often into versions they never knew existed—has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

When Graham and I opened Apex, we envisioned a welcoming space where everyone feels they belong. Together, we worked tirelessly to create an environment unlike any other, fostering growth, connection, and community. The relationships I’ve built and the lives I’ve touched have not only enriched my professional path but have also profoundly impacted my personal life. I can confidently say this is the best job on the planet!

Favorite Exercise at Apex —

I love leg day where we mix slow and explosive moves

Around Bellingham —

You will see our family biking around Bellingham on a sunny da, and we have found a new love for El Sueñito Brewing margaritas.

Our family also loves larrabee state park, walking around boulevard and lake padden.

If we are kid free, Graham and I will 100% be at a concert enjoying Dead & Co (RIP BOB), Dave Matthew’s Band, and maybe some EDM if we can still hang.

I Also want to share —

If you want to change your life, start working out regularly. The parallels of challenging your body and mind to the positive impact it can make on your life is GAME CHANGING.
