I am here to help you achieve your health and fitness goals and have fun while you are doing it! Originally from Pensacola, Florida, I received my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from the University of West Florida and am currently a Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC) as well as a Certified Level 1&2 Functional Movement Specialist (FMS). For the last almost 20yrs I have been working with clients one on one to reach their goals and get more out of life including post rehab, weight loss, older adult populations and athletes. My goal as a fitness professional is to motivate my clients and make exercise a fun part of their lives. Whether it's being able to get stronger, lose weight, get out of bed without pain, or just simply increase your overall health, I want you to feel at home with us and our facility's intimate design. My staff and I are eager to start you on a journey that will change your life forever.

in my free time I like to
Spend time with my wife and 3 sons. You can usually find us at the beach. We enjoy surfing, fishing, playing soccer and being active outdoors.

Jason grew up in Delaware, where he played collegiate football and got his degree in Exercise Science. He got his start in personal training at a small training facility in Dover, Delaware, where he did a three year internship and was able to learn and grow with the guidance of a certified athletic trainer. He learned what it meant to care for each client and treat them like a person instead of just another appointment. Early on, he was taught that the quality of the exercise being performed will always be more important than doing the exercise incorrectly and increasing the risk of injury. He believes that progressing safely and efficiently is key when trying to reach your goals and appreciates that Fitness Together Dana Point has made this a cornerstone of it's programming.

in my free time I like to
Play basketball, golf, and go to sporting events. I play basketball a few times a week in a men's league and I get out to golf whenever I can. I enjoy going to baseball and basketball games and trying different restaurants!

Nick has a unique perspective from both sides of personal training (as both student and coach). He wrestled in his younger years and spent 8 yrs focused on that before finding Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in college. He also spent time in the United States Marine Corps which helped him increase his focus on fitness, and led him to becoming a client at a powerlifting gym in Philadelphia after his active duty had ended. His experience there inspired him to become a personal trainer and to help others regain their health and become strong in their own way. He's thrilled to be here at Fitness Together, to pass on his experience, and to learn from every person that walks through the door. "As long as you can tolerate some very pro-Philadelphian opinions (Go Birds!), we’re going to have a great time together!"

in my free time I like to
Practice Judo & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, watch any and all combat sports, take my Basenji, Cooper, on long walks in the area and continue improving as a chef (especially for Italian cuisine!)

Kelly's passion for fitness is rooted in a lifelong love of being active. From competing in swimming and netball as a youngster to studying psychology at university, her journey has been shaped by a desire to understand human potential. After a stint in the corporate world, she reignited her passion for fitness by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer. Originally from the UK, she's spent the past four years in Chicago, working with clients of all ages and abilities. For Kelly, fitness is more than just a physical transformation - it's about unlocking inner strength, resilience, and self-belief. Empowering others to discover their full potential is what drives her every day! She was drawn to Fitness Together because of its strong sense of community and personalized approach, where every client receives a tailored and supportive experience from the moment they step through the door.

You can find me soaking up the sun at the beach or pool, swimming laps, or pounding the pavements on an early morning run. I’m also a tennis enthusiast and love a good match with friends. When I’m not staying active, I’m always on the lookout for new local spots to try!
