Danielle Cooney, Personal Trainer
I am a strong and enthusiastic lifetime fitness advocate. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004, which initially caused partial paralysis, I was able to get my body back from the disease after conducting an arduous and aggressive months-long physical and occupational therapy program. Since then, I have made fitness and nutrition my passion by taking it to the next level and becoming a Personal Trainer. I am a dedicated fitness professional always striving to help others achieve their personal fitness goals that will ultimately lead to a healthy and rewarding life.

Holly Hostler, Personal Trainer
As a former professional modern dancer, I believe movement is integral to happiness. Fitness should help you experience everyday life to the fullest potential. On an Alaska cruise of over 2500 passengers, my family was three of six passengers that felt fit enough to climb to the top of Laughton Glacier. It is my hope as a trainer to help you discover challenging your body through a combination of strength, cardio, and core work leads to the ability to fully experience all that life has to offer. As a former professional dancer who lived and performed in New York City for six years, I feel passionately about helping my clients find that through movement we can age gracefully and participate fully in life.

Jim Martin, Personal Trainer
Choosing a fitness regime is an important step to a happy and healthy life. As an eight-time marathoner, two-time ultra marathoner, two-time Ironman triathlete and eight-time half Ironman triathlete, I’ve enjoyed the lifestyle that swimming, cycling and running offers. The cross training involved with the three disciplines of triathlon has helped me stay both healthy and happy. Whether it's triathlon, weight lifting or other fitness areas, I enjoy helping people find their passion for fitness, setting goals and then accomplishing those goals. If you love what you do, you’ll do it forever, whether in fitness or life! I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals.

Scott Moseley, Personal Trainer
Move better, feel better, look better. I believe that we should always move with a purpose. Whether it is to lose weight, feel better or look good we all have the ability to enhance our own quality of life through fitness. The human body is an incredible machine that should be challenged to strive for progress, not perfection. I know that my journey through life will take me on different paths but one constant that has been, and will always be, fitness.

I believe that fitness and health should be a lifestyle. Whether it’s weight loss, building muscle, or toning up, it should be a commitment and part of you all through your life. It’s not just to look good, but to feel good and more confident in yourself. During my 11 years at the YMCA, I’ve seen awesome transformations in people of all age groups.

Deven Persaud, Personal Trainer
Working out is a huge passion of mine! I started weight training in high school when I joined the football team, and never looked back. I love the way working out feels and the impact it has on health! I enjoy helping others feel the benefits of working out as well. That is why I chose to make Personal Training my career. Spirituality also plays a huge role in my life. I enjoy meditation and learning about how thoughts influence reality! I like to help people who want to make major life adjustments find alternative solutions to once unsolvable problems. I love working at the YMCA because it’s such an inviting and motivating environment. It’s full of like-minded individuals who are all working towards a common goal of self-betterment!

- To determine the best trainer for your needs, please discuss with your Y's Wellness Director.

- Personal trainers are available to train whenever the YMCA is open, however, they do not work regular hours, so it is important to have an appointment scheduled.
What exercises will I do with my personal trainer?
- Each client will experience a unique workout specialized to his or her specific fitness goals. It is a good idea to write down some fitness goals and talk about them with your trainer before your first session.
How often should I meet with my trainer?
- While you can meet with your trainer as often as you like, to get the best results, it is better to meet on a regular basis to keep on track with your fitness goals.
