Lynn Ortiz

Director of Operations
AFAA Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
Certified Holistic Health Counselor

“Results!” If you were to ask Lynn Ortiz what she and Fitness Together can offer a client, that would be her answer. It comes from her belief in their approach to fitness as well as her own personal experience.

“I came to Fitness Together in 2008 and lost 45 pounds as well as half my body fat! The impact that Fitness Together had on my life instilled the passion in me to pursue this work.”

Lynn made a huge decision to change careers and began working with Fitness Together in Tysons Corner in early 2010, becoming an Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AAFA) Certified Personal Trainer. She is also a Fitness Together Nutrition Specialist and a Certified Holistic Health Counselor.

Born and raised in the D.C. metropolitan area, Lynn graduated from JFK High School in Silver Spring Maryland and University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. Her new career in personal fitness is far removed from the 30 years she spent in the corporate consulting world. Most recently, she worked for an IT consulting firm, Perot Systems, in various operational leadership positions. Lynn “retired” in June 2010 to begin working in fitness and nutrition.

Her background and experience have not gone to waste, however. In addition to training, she also serves as the Director of Operations at Fitness Together.

Lynn describes the Fitness Together approach as offering clients a one-of-a-kind private studio, not a huge intimidating gym.

“We offer a comfortable, private setting,” she says, “and while there is a science to all we do, we take that science and create programs that are designed for the specific needs of our clients.

“We are dedicated exclusively to helping you achieve your goals during the exclusive one-on-one personal training sessions,” Lynn states. “It's just you and one of our certified personal trainers with no distractions to interrupt or interfere with your progress.

“At Fitness Together, we produce results from one simple formula: one client, one trainer and one goal. We like to say we sell accountability. There’s no question you'll get results.”

When she’s not focusing on fitness and nutrition, Lynn enjoys spending time at home with her husband, Dennis. They have one grown daughter and two grandchildren. Her other interests include her cats, cooking and reading.

It did not take too long before Alvin came to realize that there needs to be a personal approach to health and wellness. From his experiences, he possesses a great knowledge of lifestyle related illnesses and injury prevention and rehabilitation. A recipient of the American College of Sports Medicine Health Fitness Specialist certification, Alvin believes a teamwork approach is a must when trying to reach one’s health, fitness, and wellness goals.
