Hey there! I've been at AF Pleasantville, Bedford Hills and Elmsford since the beginning - and do not plan on going anywhere. I've experienced other 24/7 gyms and have my own fitness goals, so I will want to learn about your "story" too. Great customer service + quality experiences have always been at the core of every place I've been and I hope you'll give me the chance to show you just that at Anytime Fitness Pleasantville and Bedford Hills. Aside from working out, I love to talk about art and practice my Spanish (hablo espanol)!

Since I was four years old, fitness has consistently been a part of my life. Whether it was training for soccer, martial arts or even the Marine Corps., I was always striving to improve my overall performance. I decided to do my research and learn more behind the science of physical training. I soon discovered how important proper body mechanics are. This drove my desire to become the best in all fields, including corrective training, sports performance, and strength training (and more). The more I learned, the more I was able to apply science to my training. I saw drastic improvements in my strength, mobility, health and overall body composition. I believe there’s no better feeling than becoming the healthiest and strongest version of yourself. So let’s work together to discover what the BEST version of YOURSELF feels and looks like!

My love for fitness first started in high school. I was encouraged to start weight training and saw drastic improvements in athletic performance. During that time I was a track and soccer athlete and most of my training was done on the track or soccer field, and very little in the gym. I began to not only appreciate the importance of weight training, but also fitness in general. I earned my Bachelors' Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, and soon after started obtaining fitness related certifications. These certifications include my NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, my SCW Group Fitness Certification, and Personal Training Certification. I have experience training people of all age groups with all different goals. With training clients, my biggest strengths are nutrition planning, and program design. I believe that with consistency, success is the only place to go. I look forward to working with you.

Hello Anytime Family! My name is Cory and I've been in the fitness industry for 11+ years. My love for this industry evolved from going to physical therapy school and seeing the growth and potential in fitness and how many avenues one can expand upon. My training experience ranges from general strength and condition, to pre and post pregnancy, corrective exercise (injury prevention and recovery), and functional training. My training philosophy is that "Everything is connected" which is the essential foundation to my approach when working with someone to help them achieve their goals and working towards living a happier and healthier life. What this means is that it goes beyond the way you look but also ones over mental and emotional health as well. Again, "everything is connected." I've worked with individuals ranging from early teens, all the way to being well into their 90's. Point being there truly no limit to what one can achieve, only the limits we place upon ourselves.

Scott Sessions

Trainer

Hey, I'm Scott! I studied Sports Management at Farmingdale State College and I learned how to implement healthy eating into my resistance-training regimen. It made such a difference! I am equally passionate about the game of golf. In my senior year of high school, I was the #1 Junior Golfer in the Metropolitan Area. I went on to become an All-American Collegiate Golfer at Farmingdale State College and became a Certified Titleist Performance Institute Instructor after earning my Bachelors Degree. By combining my education, training and personal experience, I am in a unique position to motivate and train others to reach their wellness goals. Whether it is flexibility training, weight training, diet and nutrition, or addressing physical limitations that are affecting your golf swing, I love sharing my knowledge and driving my clients to succeed.
