Dave Danna has lost 121 pounds during his two-year fitness journey and impressed the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joey Swoll.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joey Swoll are two huge names in the fitness industry. When they acknowledge the work put in, it is a huge honor. Recently, Dave Danna got both to be inspired as he chronicles his fitness journey over the last two years, including a 121-pound weight loss.

Danna began his weight-loss journey two years ago and completely changed his lifestyle. This includes a dedication to working out and changing his diet plan. His overall determination and consistency has inspired many since he began sharing his updates. This includes Arnold Schwarzenegger.

During his career, Arnold was dubbed the greatest bodybuilder in the world. He is still considered the best to ever take the stage. Danna was honored to get a shoutout from Schwarzenegger and pinned it to his profile.

“I’m pinning the one where Arnold says he’s proud of me for awhile if y’all don’t mind.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger & Joey Swoll Impressed

In March, Arnold Schwarzenegger commented on a video Danna shared to Twitter:

“Your reps look fantastic, and I’m proud of you. Try dropping the weight and really make yourself feel that stretch and flex with slow reps, and you will be able to hold onto that feeling as you increase the weight again. You want that feeling on every movement in the gym.”

Schwarzenegger was not the only fitness star was noticed the work that Danna put in. Joey Swoll has preached a positive gym culture on his TikTok account for years now. Swoll makes his own videos defending those who might not have the voice to do so.

This time, he shouted out Danna for his progress:

“Dave! Amazing work brother. Amazing! My favorite part is the smile tho man. Yes your body looks great but all that hard work is inspiring but the confidence and happiness in that smile man, that’s incredible. I love that. Keep up the hard work brother and keep sharing your progress!”
