VIXEN FITNESS: FIT, FUN AND FANTASY Danielle Green Vixen Fitness was founded by Danielle Green, a Metro-Detroit native. She was introduced to pole dancing in 2005 as a birthday gift from friends. She immediately became addicted to the feeling of confidence she experienced while experiementing with such an empowering art form. During this journey Danielle developed a passion for fitness and encouraging women to explore their sensuality. She started training with other forms of dance and fitness and re-opened in February 2008 with a new vision, a great team of instructors and exciting new classes. In January 2009 she became a certified group fitness instructor and is currently studying for her certification in Personal Training. The classes were designed with "real" everyday women in mind that want to experience alternative fitness regimens, get a great work out and explore their sensuality in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment with other women of like interest.
