Safe, personalized fitness and nutrition support for individuals navigating cancer treatment and recovery.
“I am 8 years post treatment from Breast Cancer. Dan’s guidance on exercise is spot on and he always find ways to keep me motivated and safe. His care and expertise made a real difference in my recovery.” — A.E.
Cancer can quietly touch every part of your life, how you move, how you feel, and how you see yourself, and in these moments you don’t need intensity, you need calm guidance, clear structure, and steady support as a growing body of promising research (SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE) suggests that appropriate exercise can help manage treatment side effects, combat cancer-related fatigue, support function and quality of life, and may even play a role in improving long-term outcomes, and Dan has seen this firsthand, both as a specialist and as a husband who walked with his wife Sona through breast cancer in 2018, bringing that same understanding and care to every client navigating cancer treatment and recovery.
“I remember thinking: How do I help my wife feel like herself again? That question shapes every program I design.” — Dan (Click Here for Bio)
That’s the heart of Operation Forward Surge, a personalized cancer recovery program created for individuals navigating treatment and rebuilding strength, energy, and confidence in everyday life. This program doesn’t ask you to push harder. It helps you move forward, safely, steadily, and with intention, one step at a time.
Recovery looks different for everyone. Some days feel steady, others uncertain. What matters most is having a safe, structured path forward — and someone who understands how to guide you along it. Operation Forward Surge was built for individuals who want clarity, support, and a pace that respects where they are today, not where they think they “should” be.

I went through several different surgeries and procedures due to breast cancer treatment. My medication causes fatigue and I had to do something to make myself feel more confident and someone who will hold me accountable. I was referred to OC Fitness Coach and met with Dan. I immediately felt at ease as the studio is a calm and a non-intimidating environment. They put together a program for me that fits MY personal needs. They trained and showed me alternatives to ordinary exercises that will help strengthen my core without injury. They listened and built my confidence by getting me stronger with each session. I do a combination of stretching, balance, strength training and my favorite boxing. OCFC helped me “get out of my head” and connect with my body again.

This place changed my life. After a breast cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatment, I decided to focus on getting healthy – losing weight, getting stronger and building up my stamina. I was looking for a place where I didn’t feel judged but still held me accountable and pushed me to work harder. OC Fitness did just that. They pushed me beyond what I ever thought I could do. Their “always-present” motivation was just what this mama needed during this time in my life. They mixed up our exercise and weight routine so I never got bored and actually started to look forward to what he was going to introduce me to next. Thank you OC Fitness team!
