Dana established Aspire in February, 2004, initially as a personal training business. However after nearly two years working with individuals from all walks of life, we decided to move the company to another level by incorporating Life Coaching into our programs. We were interested in considering a person's behaviors, beliefs, and basic brain function into the equation. After all, our ability to adhere to a fitness and nutrition plan is affected by how we are feeling and acting in other areas of our life so why not look at everything? Our programs now consist of both personal fitness training and motivational life coaching and the results are fantastic!

Our Philosophy

Our mission at Aspire is to help people obtain a fulfilling, successful and relatively stress-free life through cultivating passion and self-discipline. We use the following basic ideas to form our unique approach:

• Studies show that success and fulfillment are more often determined by the mental and emotional ability to control oneself in pursuit of a goal, and less likely related to education or financial support. Therefore we must help you find your true passions and then the mental discipline to develop them.
• Research also shows that exercise and high levels of physical fitness allow for clearer thinking and better decision making. So we include exercise into our programs to ensure lasting change.
• Because all aspects of our lives are connected, we believe the best way to achieve success in any one area of life, is by taking a holistic approach. We encourage you to examine every area of your life and consider them all when planning your future.
