6/17/202654 min
Dani Means is “Voltage” on the brand-new American Gladiators reboot on Amazon Prime, and she’s got one of the wildest paths to the arena! Dani talks about getting recruited for the show through a DM, surviving the grueling Gladiators fitness combine, creating the Voltage character, working alongside The Miz, Wardlow, J-Rod, and other elite athletes, and what really happens behind the scenes of the massive competition series. She breaks down her favorite events, the injuries, the pressure of performing in front of thousands of fans, and whether a second season is on the way. Dani also shares her journey from representing Hong Kong in international rugby, training for the Olympics, winning a Powerlifting World Championship, earning her IFBB Pro card in bodybuilding, and chasing a spot at the Olympia. Plus, rugby vs. football, natural bodybuilding, life in Hong Kong, owning a gym in Los Angeles, and how becoming an American Gladiator changed everything.

I was so over those companies knocking on my door or scheduling monthly visits. I don't want strangers roaming around my house or property, and honestly, the bugs, gross.
