It’s still in development but you can already take it for a spin. Our team is working on it as you are reading this. We are developing, testing and adding new recipes almost daily! Our goal is to create a comprehensive library of highly nutritious, healthy recipes you can make quickly every day using basic ingredients, tools and hacks. We want to make your life easier; help you eat better and help you cut back on takeouts. And we are also creating a recipe website that is frustration-free, easy to navigate and use.
We really hope you like it. Happy cooking!
Each name on this wall represents a donation. It’s our way to honor and thank the people who support the project and keep it alive.
Every day we begin a new list and then update it throughout the day.
Can I choose how my name is displayed on the wall?
For privacy reasons we only post first names associated with each donation. When you donate, you can attach a note with a name you want displayed instead of your first name. You can display your full name, nickname or a name of a person you are dedicating this donation to. You can also ask us to display your full name, the name of your friend or family member e.g., “Anna & Sam”.
Since this is a way to honor your donation and not for advertisement purposes, we do not display businesses or website addresses on the Wall. If you are making a donation using a business account, please attach a note with a name for us to display.
I donated, when will my name appear on the Wall?
As soon as we receive the donation notification, we add your name to the list and then update the page as soon as we can. Since this is a manual process it may take several hours or it may take several minutes for your name to appear.
If it’s been over 24 hours and your name didn’t appear for whatever reason, reach out to us and your name will be added to the next day’s list. Also keep in mind the time difference between countries. DAREBEE is based in Europe so the time difference between you and us can be quite significant. Your name may show up the following day or the day before depending on when the donation was made in regards to European time.
I don’t want my donation to be recorded on the wall, what should I do?
Simply add a note “anonymous” in the NOTE section when you make the payment and your name will not appear on the wall at all.
What happens if I am donating using Crypto?
In that case, you should reach out to us and let us know what name you would like us to display. We monitor our mailbox around the clock and we will see it. Please include a transfer code with your email so we can make sure your donation arrived OK.
What if I have a subscription?
Each time we receive a donation, your name goes up on the wall. So if you set up your subscription on the 15th of the month, your name will always be added to the list on the 15th of the month, as soon as we receive the notification.
How often can my name appear on the list?
Once a day. Each time you donate, whether it’s a one-off or a subscription, your name goes up on the wall.
The Wall of Honor is a new feature we are still testing to see how viable it is. We officially started the Wall on May 18, 2023. It is still in BETA.

Our emergency fund has been refilled successfully and we are no longer in a Critical State! Which means, if anything unforeseen happens, DAREBEE is now able to respond again. We took a step away from that dark abyss yet again because of you. So we would like to thank everyone for donating and quite literally keeping us alive. Thank you for pulling us back! It’s always an emotional roller-coaster when this happens. We are never sure how things will go when we hit Critical so we are overjoyed you still want us around and for as long as this remains true, we will be here.
On 11th of March DAREBEE turned 11 years old. Technically, we officially became DAREBEE on March 11th 2015 but we’ve been around since 2012. You've kept us going for 11 glorious years. These are uncertain times for everyone - the world is changing at an astronomical speed. No one knows what the future holds but today is a good day, today we have a reason to celebrate. We are alive and you made it possible, you continue to make it possible and we are incredibly grateful for that.
Thank you, truly.
Yours,
DAREBEE Team
There are almost 100 people globally contributing their time to DAREBEE, on and off. Most of it goes into testing and making sure everything we add to the database is effective, accessible and safe.
And then there is the core team.
We make this place work and keep the lights on. Each one of us chose to dedicate a large chunk of our lives to this project because we believe in free internet and equal access to quality fitness advice for everyone regardless of circumstances. That's what brought us together. We all have day jobs and some of us have careers completely unrelated to fitness but we are 100% dedicated to making this project work and keeping it alive.
We are also a bunch of introverts so talking about ourselves is really not our thing. That said, it's easy to fall under the impression that DAREBEE is run by robots as there is no personality cult or photos of ripped people - it just works. Hence, this page.
We try our very best here but we are very human and very real sweat and tears go into this place daily. Nothing is automated on this website - we add, fine-tune and reshuffle things every single day so you can log in and have something new to do, try out and challenge yourself. It's our job to make this place run like clockwork. And, hopefully, we’ve been doing an OK job so far. Now to the reason you are here - who are we, really?
Although most of us are extremely uncomfortable putting ourselves out there, below are the wizards behind the curtain that chose to come forward on behalf of the core team and say hi:
Neila, the founder
Duties: administration, planning, design and layout
Loves: her dogs, good coffee and audiobooks
Area of expertise: circuit and weight training, running
Experience: 20+ years in the fitness industry.
Neila is a hermit. She loves DAREBEE but is terrible at promoting it. She feels that its content should speak for itself. Neila had to be convinced this page is necessary. She is in charge of a large chunk of development of the DAREBEE programs and individual routines. You can meet Neila in the community under neilarey.
David, co-founder & spokesperson
Duties: research and development, writing, publicity
Loves: reading, action movies and shootemup video games
Area of expertise: circuit training and martial arts.
Experience: 40+ years in the fitness industry.
David joined DAREBEE less than two years after it was founded. He has many talents and a glorious career as an author but he still dedicates a lot of time to the resource and is even our official spokesperson. He is a certified martial arts instructor and a five-times British tae-kwon-do champion. He is mind-warpingly awesome and he compensates for the rest of us antisocial peeps. You can meet David in the community under Damer.
Natalia, manager
Duties: management, design and layout, content translation
Loves: knitting, traveling and good cheese
Area of expertise: accessible exercises and rehabilitation
Experience: 10+ years in the fitness industry.
Natalia is a machine. She just keeps on going. So, yeah, she might be a robot after all. She runs two DAREBEE branches on her own and also handles social media. She is into gentle fitness, swimming and hiking.
Tony, programmer
Duties: programming and development, team mental support
Loves: video games, anime, martial arts and fantasy books
Area of expertise: programming and martial arts
Experience: 20+ years in the fitness industry, 15+ years in video game development.
Tony is really, really, really good at what he does. Besides his secret ninja ways, he has a glorious career in his own field so we are blessed that he chooses to contribute his time to DAREBEE. He is responsible for our apps and programming in the Age of Pandora RPG program as well as the rest of functionality here at the resource. We have no idea how he does it. It’s magic. You can meet Tony in the community under Ryuji.
Klara, social media
Duties: publicity, daily social media updates and support
Loves: her family, cooking and taking long walks
Area of expertise: PR
Klara has been with us from the very beginning. She has built all of our social media presence from the ground up and she is often the one responding to you on Facebook. She is a rockstar! Her preferred type of exercise is calisthenics and circuit training. You can meet Klara in the community under Klara.
Emma, manager and tech support
Duties: paying the bills, answering emails and dealing with paperwork
Loves: cats, pizza and romantic comedies
Area of expertise: management and PR
Emma is irreplaceable. We will probably just crash and burn if she takes a day off. She keeps this whole thing running and she is the only one who knows where the snacks are hidden. Although our mailbox is accessed by all members of the core team, you are likely to talk to her when you reach out to the Administration of the website. She is the nicest person you will ever meet.
Nicolas, moderator
Duties: moderator and challenge master
Loves: music, writing, martial arts and roleplaying games
Areas of expertise: martial arts and bodyweight training
Experience: 8+ years in the fitness industry.
Nicolas joined DAREBEE after he discovered its workouts to enhance his ninja training. He leads a very full life working, playing music and writing and he still finds time to run local DAREBEE workshops that help people find their way back to fitness which means he has found the secret to never sleeping! In The Community he is everyone’s best friend. You can meet Nicolas in the community under Redline.
