    Hello everyone! I enjoy seeing my clients reach their goals and look forward to exercising, not just having it be a chore. I strongly believe that nutrition is a very important aspect of fitness and health, and finding the correct activity is the key to total commitment.  I am certified through the American Council of Exercise and have enjoyed working with clients ranging from 14 years old to 83 years old, from athletes to those who have had various injuries.  I started my career working in a public gym, but joined Fitness Together in December of 2008 in Concord, MA.  After two years of service which I thoroughly enjoyed, I became owner of Fitness Together in Beverly, where I have been since December of 2010. I have proudly been named the 2013 Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of the Year, have actively participated in professional groups such as BNI, Beverly Rotary, and the Great Beverly Chamber of Commerce, in which I sit on the Board of Directors. I also host an award winning informational program called "Half Hour or Health" that airs on BevCam Local Access Television, Beverly's exclusive access television network.

    in my free time I like to
    exercise, whether strength training or running, play golf, watch sports, and listen to music.

    Hey there!  I'm Dana, and I've been a trainer for over 3 years.  My fitness journey began pretty much my whole life.  As a child and into my teens, I had a multitude of back problems, scoliosis and sciatic pain to name a couple.  I credit my mom always taking me the holistic route when it came to helping me better myself, through chiropractic care and acupuncture.  So in my early 20s, I decided to take care of myself holistically by signing up at a local gym and working out with weights.  I fell in love instantly.  Weight training has helped me with, not just my back problems, but any joint pain I've felt along the way.  Evidently, I grew a passion for helping people heal themselves naturally.

    in my free time I like to
    hike, on a local trail or mountain trail, and play guitar. If you're a music fan - we'll have plenty to talk about!

    Hi everyone! I have been involved in the fitness industry for over 30 years.  In working with all demographics and populations - from children, to the elderly, to cancers survivors - I strongly emphasize the importance of functional training to help my clients achieve their goals in a safe, fun, and efficient way.  I comes to Fitness Together having spent a large part of her career with the YMCA (and Fitness Together Reading as well).  I try to be a great example of "practicing what I preach".

    in my free time I like to
    do yoga, play volleyball, hike, weight train, spend time with my family and children, and I also enjoy the many beaches on the North Shore.
