Dana Bogan
My mission as a trainer is to create a space where you are challenged physically, welcomed emotionally to connect in mind and body, and encouraged to become curious about how the strength you cultivate in class translates to other aspects of life. My hope is to keep fitness fun, creative, and accessible so as to allow all who would like to access its benefit the capacity to do so. Whether in person or online, we all have the power to cultivate a fitness community together and benefit from the connections we make, especially during these times. Join me for a mix of strength, cardio, and fun, always with a side of burpees for good measure.
