Damascus

Hello! I am Sam, and I developed my passion for fitness during my own weight loss journey at the age of 17. Wanting To help others reach their fitness goals inspired me to become NASM personal training certified. I am here to guide and encourage you to reach your goals; whether it’s to lose weight, gain muscle, or move better. I am here to help YOU Damascus. On my off day you can find me prepping for my next power lifting meet, playing soccer or watching sports!

I am so happy to be taking over as Fitness Director here at Damascus Anytime Fitness. I have been in the fitness industry for the past 25 years. I started my journey with a group fitness certification with AFAA . After 5 years I obtained certifications in Personal Training, Yoga, Kickboxing, Step, Aqua, Spin and Health Coaching. I have managed health clubs, taught all genres of classes and trained clients from the deconditioned non-exerciser to the elite athlete. I love to move, my mantra is THE MORE YOU MOVE, THE MORE YOU CAN MOVE. I met my husband at a 5k race, we got married at the Baltimore Museum of Industry and are raising 3 very athletic children. I have since taken my Senior Fitness Certification as well as Corrective exercise Certification, NASM. As the Fitness Director for Anytime Fitness Damascus, I look forward to using my love of fitness to help you on your fitness journey! Stop by with any questions or concerns.

Hey! My name is Joseph and fitness has been a part of my life since I was young. I have participated in almost every sport, but my main focus was in basketball and track. I still participate in those sports for fun and do a lot of weightlifting currently. Through sports and physical activity, I’ve suffered quite a few injuries which led me to become certified in training through NASM. Combining my passion for fitness and helping others, I strive to help you all be the best versions of yourselves, however that looks to you! I am also big on injury prevention and recovery to prevent you all from experiencing the injuries and challenges I had to face. Outside of fitness, I love spending time with my 2 dogs and family, as well as playing video games.

Hey, I’m Dani! I started playing competitive sports at a young age, and sports continue to be a huge part of my life, both playing and watching! I have had incredible opportunities and met great people while working in sports and playing sports, especially during my education. I received my Undergraduate Degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland, and my Masters Degree in Kinesiology and Health Promotion at the University of Kentucky. I am a huge advocate for physical activity, as there are so many physical and mental health benefits to being active. In general, I love inspiring others to become the best versions of themselves, and at Anytime Fitness I thrive to create a positive and influential space for all of the members!

I have been in the fitness industry for 30 years and in many roles in different gyms. I started out working at the front desk as more of a greeter, then attained my personal training certification to help people change their bodies. After 18 years of helping people with their health and fitness goals, I decided to open a gym to help more people with the help of a great team of fitness coaches. I now have 3 locations and it wouldn't be possible without the whole team; managers, part time staffers in the office and fitness coaches. I love the Anytime Fitness brand I am very fortunate to have amazing members. I will do my best to make sure the clubs are clean, provide quality equipment and create a culture that is inviting with a community feel. If you need help or just have questions don't hesitate to ask, because I I have an open door policy and these clubs are for you.
