Our Staff

Sean Stellmach

Owner/Manager/Personal Trainer

As a lifelong resident of the Newburyport area, I am thrilled to be a valuable part of this vibrant community. My passion for fitness began with participating in a variety of sports at an early age. These included soccer, ice hockey, football, baseball and track. Through my 4 years at Amesbury High School I continued to compete in varsity soccer, ice hockey and track and acted as captain in all 3 sports.

I graduated from UMass Lowell with a BS in Community Health Education and continued in pursuit of a Master’s of Science in Epidemiology. Additionally, I earned a Performance Enhancement Specialist Certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

My career as a health and wellness expert began with my experience as a personal trainer at Fitness Together. I quickly earned the respect of our clients and my fellow trainers, and decided to take on a leadership role.  I became the owner of FT Newburyport in 2010 and more recently in 2011, the owner of FT Portsmouth.

I am a driven individual who truly enjoys leading, teaching and motivating our clients to reach their fitness goals.

Personal Trainer

I believe that a healthy life makes for a happy life. As a personal trainer I can help others to achieve their health and fitness ambitions and promote an overall healthy lifestyle. I realized early on that I would pursue a career in fitness. As a child I participated in many sports and particularly grew to love long distance running at Newburyport High School. After competing in NCAA Cross Country at Keene State College, I transferred to and graduated from Salem State College with a minor in fitness.

Following graduation I travelled west to live in Tucson, AZ and worked for 2 years as a chiropractic assistant. In late 2007 I moved back east to attend the National Personal Training Institute in Waltham, MA and graduated in 2008. I am very excited to coach and mentor our clients at Fitness Together, Newburyport. With hard work and commitment we can reach your fitness goals.

Personal Trainer

I came into the fitness world through an unconventional route.  I began working several years at a desk Job; I adopted a more sedentary lifestyle and did not work out regularly.  My nutrition also suffered and I began to feel unhealthy and disliked how I looked and the path I was going down.

 I finally reached an epiphany while viewing some family vacation photos.  Seeing myself in a bathing suit made me realize how out of shape I was.  This sparked me to become a Fitness Together client, where I faithfully worked with a trainer to accomplish my goals.  After reaching and surpassing my goals, I took a small break and was not as consistent as before.  This is when I suffered from a back injury while doing some work at our house up north.  I thought I was going to have to stop going to Fitness Together completely but after talking with them and explaining what was going on, they made some small adjustments to my customized program.  I went from not being able to walk without pain, having to lie in bed, to surpassing the level of fitness I was at originally. 

 

After seeing how much Fitness Together has helped me in improving my life I decided I wanted to become a part of that and help other clients the way I was.  I look forward to helping and improving the lives of every one of our clients.

Fitness has always been a huge part of my life. Since I was a young kid, I played sports throughout the year. In high school, I was a 4 sport varsity athlete, playing; soccer, ice hockey and softball/lacrosse at Tilton School in New Hampshire .

I attended Elmira College, where I received a degree in sociology and a coaching certification. When I was no longer able to play competitive sports, my focus turned towards the gym. In August 2011, I graduated from the American Academy of Personal Training, where I gained the knowledge that I hope to apply to your life and fitness goals.
