Donny Dunn

Owner

Hi! My name is Donny Dunn and I am one of the proud new owners of your Anytime Fitness Club here in Grass Valley. Like many, I have always been aware of the benefits of good health. But also like many, I have spent a great deal of my life not paying enough attention to it. Because of that, I nearly lost my life. Thankfully, for reasons that I personally believe and hold very dear to my heart, I am still here. I often think about the matter of things, why some things happen and other things don’t, and it seems I often see it; and this one especially. If you would ever like to hear my story, I am happy to share it. But mostly I would like to hear your story. When you decide that your health is one of the most important things in your life, and you’re ready to take control of it, then come on in and say hi. We have so much to share. We’re a family here, and we would love nothing more than for you to be a part of it. ~Donny

I have always loved the outdoors; things like camping, hiking, scuba, kayaking and even some quad riding have been the backbone of my recreational life. In school I was on the swim team from age six all the way through high school, and I played some softball, too! I enjoyed softball so much that I spent many years running the local softball club, and even coached both of my daughters! Staying healthy has always been a part of what I do, as it has allowed me to continue to do the things that I have always loved. I am so excited to be starting this new family, our Anytime Fitness family, to create a place where we all can set our goals and get to that healthier place together!

I’ve always LOVED sports, and fitness. At a young age I taught myself basic gymnastics, learned to play softball/baseball, golf, and football! In December 2016, I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic. This turned my world upside down, but grew the importance of Health and Fitness in my life. I learned quickly that the BEST management for this incurable, auto-immune disease, is maintaining a healthy diet and a regular exercise regimen. I found my home when I joined the Anytime Fitness, Grass Valley team. It is my passion to help others improve their quality of life, through functional training and a healthy diet!

My fitness journey began when I faced my first deal of adversity as a collegiate athlete. I underwent a surgery that dropped my muscle mass to the point where I lost 45 pounds and this caused me to lose a large amount of my athletic scholarship. The rehab was long and difficult in every aspect. I ultimately made my way back into better shape than I had ever been in before and with that, I learned an important lesson. No matter what you are facing at work, home, or any other part of life, the gym is there. Allow fitness to be your escape from the negativity, believe in health and the betterment of yourself and the rest will fall into place. To assist others on their fitness journeys is simply a dream and I could not be more excited to be a part of it.

After 17 years out of the workforce, I am excited to be contributing to the Anytime Fitness community. I have been an athlete all my life and enjoy anything that involves movement. I am a true believer in the power of exercise in achieving a healthy mind, body, and soul. I will be getting my personal training certification soon, and look forward to working directly with the members of Anytime Fitness, Penryn. I love to help others, so if there is anything I can do to help you achieve your fitness goals, please let me know.

Tara Kelly: Grass Valley Club

Trainer

I don’t remember when I was not actively involved with a sport or some form of fitness. I played competitive sports starting in middle school and all the way through college with partial scholarships in two sports – field hockey and lacrosse! At first, the sport was my fitness. It didn’t take long before I realized that focused fitness outside the sport greatly enhanced my sport performance, endurance and made playing a lot more fun. After college, it was a transition to balance sports, fitness, eating and work. I received certifications in cycling and group fitness and taught while working full-time in the video production industry. In 2011 I made fitness my main focus and got my personal training certification (NASM). I have a passion for helping and inspiring people to improve their health on many levels. I focus on functional fitness and am very much a “proper form” trainer. I look forward every day to inspiring people to reach their health and fitness goals.

Sam’s passion for helping others, combined with his experience with sports and exercise urged him to become a trainer. He played sports for most of his life, including football for 11 years (one at the collegiate level) and six years of lacrosse. Sam still likes to participate in sports and enjoys weight training. In addition to working at Anytime Fitness, he is also attending Sierra College and pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. Sam was certified through American Council on Exercise (ACE) in March of 2017 and was also certified as a Functional Training Specialists in February 2019. Sam is excited to help you reach the best version of yourself.

I am a certified personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine and specialize in corrective exercises. I am currently in school studying kinesiology and nutrition. I have always had a passion for health and fitness and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. Growing up I was on the swim team and after high school I got into running and weight training. As a trainer, it is my goal to encourage and motivate others during their fitness journey.

Matt Meek: Auburn Gym

Trainer

My whole life I have been an active outdoor type of person, I enjoy golfing, fishing, camping, hiking to name a few. After high school and sports were over I found myself falling into the work, home, rest, repeat cycle and my health suffered. Finally at 30 years old and feeling tired, slow and out of shape I decided to restart my fitness journey. During the process of taking care of myself, friends and family started to take notice and would join me in workouts. After seeing the joy I was able to bring others through health and fitness I found my new mission. To help as many people as possible not just get fit but enjoy the process and make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy helping people spend more quality time with friends, family and their hobbies. As a NASM certified personal trainer I would love to help make the change in your life you're seeking.
