Dawn S.

CPT, FRC

Dawn focuses on the art and science of movement to guide her clients to results. By carefully selecting exercises based on the client’s goal and consistent programing to prevent plateaus, she plans every workout to be as efficient as possible. With a background in dance, gymnastics and aerial arts, she coaches clients to execute movements with precision. As a professional figure and bikini bodybuilding competitor, keeping a science-based programming has always been a key to her own success. 

 

The fascination of the human body has always been of interest to her, inspiring her to move to New York City from Syracuse, NY, to attend school at New York University with a focus on pre-medicine. Her enjoyment of physics and anatomy started her career as an exercise professional in 2006. Her passion for helping people kept her in fitness. By inspiring clients to make healthy lifestyle choices that transition into sustainable habits, she has been able to assist clients to achieve results and maintain them.
