Fitness is a LIFESTYLE.
My journey started with a step into weight training and better diet in 2008. I saw progressive results and by 2015 I made the decision to compete in an NPC Show in Boston. As a Middleweight competitor I took the Novice Overall Award as well as 4 th in the Open Class and 3rd in the Master’s 35 Division.
Greatly pleased with what I accomplished in only 16 weeks I continued to do shows in the Fall of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Since then I have developed even more of a passion for Bodybuilding and my goal is to share that passion and knowledge with my clients to help them reach their fitness and nutrition goals (whether they are formally competing or not).

My fitness journey started in the pool. I have been a competitive swimmer since I was 7 and as I progressed
through the years, I learned that being able to help others achieve their goals was my calling in life. It started
with giving my friends tips in the pool, to becoming an assistant coach, and ultimately lead to me pursuing a
degree in Exercise Science so that I could gain as much of an understanding as possible in all aspects ofbeing fit
and healthy.
Fitness isn’t just about looking good. Feeling good is equally as important. I am about getting physical and mental results for all of my clients (head to toe).

There has never been a time where fitness is more important than now. Our world is changing rapidly thanks to the advancements of technology. With more and more people working behind screens all day, we are becoming more sedentary than ever before. Movement is medicine, and the same way medication is prescribed, exercise is likely to follow suit. Do not wait until then, take the initiative and be proactive with your health.
Ever since I was in High School I knew that I wanted to have a career that would directly improve the quality of life for others. Having a passion for fitness and weight training lead me to explore the importance of nutrition at a young age. After experiencing first hand how crucial nutrition is in reaching goals, I decided to get my degree in culinary nutrition and then become a certified trainer. Now I am looking to help others built a healthy yet sustainable lifestyle.

I believe we don't HAVE to do this- we GET to do this.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right"
For over 25 years, fitness and personal training have been my passion. I love the science of the field and continually educate myself as new info is available. We are never done learning. I also enjoy the wellness coaching aspect of what I do and see it as "Gym Therapy". Whether it's someone working to set and achieve their goals of getting into the best shape of their life or as a fitness competitor, I love working with all types of clients.
My own personal journey has helped me lead clients into healthier, fitter lifestyles while learning to love themselves along the way. I have overcome many obstacles which have made me grow into who I am today. During my younger years I battled an eating disorder and over 12 years ago I suddenly developed Alopecia Universalis, an autoimmune disease which left me completely hairless. This forced me to restart my life and take control of the things I could control which led me to start competing as a Fitness competitor.
I look forward to continuing to combine my fitness knowledge and life experience to help others achieve their potential.

Fitness is the perfect escape from anything that life throws at you. When you come into the gym, I challenge you to switch your mind off and focus on yourself for one full hour. With the constant communication of the modern world this is our chance to take a daily hiatus from life stress and not only improve our physical but mental health as well.
I began strength training at the age of 12 to enhance my performance on the football field. After a few years of training, my passion for building muscle began to eclipse my passion for sports. At the age of 15 I decided that I was going to make strength training my sole focus. This decision eventually lead me to a career in personal training and nutrition coaching. I am currently a national level NPC competitor and NPC athlete coach. When I am not training clients I spend my free time training myself. Fitness is how I spend 90% of my time.

Imrana has always had an interest in science and how that knowledge ties back to healthy living. Some of her favorite things to do are cooking & eating good food, working out, and being outdoors. Imrana achieved a graduate degree in science and worked in the corporate sector on clinical trials to help move new drug therapies to market. Imrana had 3 children and lost the 40lb pregnancy weight gain after each child, but in retrospect realized that her pregnancies would have been easier if she had exercised during them. In addition, Imrana found as she got older that her body & metabolism were changing and that she needed to be proactive about her health.
Over the years, Imrana realized her passion was to help people envision and reach their goals which led her on a journey to start her own business to be a life, health & fitness coach. This was a career shift & a holistic approach to health and physical fitness which has changed Imrana’s life, and she is motivated to help others understand and incorporate new habits into their lives for a healthier, energized, and stronger version of themselves.

Always choose something over nothing.
Sarah has always been active playing sports or coaching, running, and loving to exercise. After college exercise helped her offset a demanding job as a chemist and she lived at the gym when not at work.
One day she decided to get certified in her favorite class. She quickly realized that this was where her passion was and after obtaining a few more certifications she left her job in R&D for motherhood and fitness!
3 kids and 13 years later she still absolutely loves what she does. It doesn’t matter if she is teaching class or training, she loves watching people fall in love with exercise.
As the Fitness Manager here at The Gym, her goal is to give anyone who walks in the door a comfortable atmosphere to work out while having fun and reaching goals. She believes if it is fun, achievable and you feel amazing after, you will be hooked and unstoppable.
