Hi, my name is Cheryl dotterweich and I moved my business and my family to sarasota in 2019 from northern New Jersey. i have been teaching and training clients as a second career since my children were born 26 years ago. i have always been passionate about fitness and helping people so this was a natural fit.
IN 2009, AFTER A FEW YEARS OF TEACHING AND TRAINING IN LOCAL GYMS, I saw a need for a more personalized approach to exercise. i hated seeing someone have the courage to step into the gym only to feel defeated if they were unable to fit into the 'cookie cutter' class desigN. I WANTED TO CREATE A COMFORTING AND INSPIRING PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO COME AND EXERCISE REGARDLESS OF EXPERIENCE AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. I OPENED CUSTOM FITNESS AND FOCUSED ON providING small group training classes THAT TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION EACH CLIENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL. I ALSO OFFERED one-on-one PERSONAL training FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A TRULY PERSONALIZED APPROACH. it was tremendously rewarding FOR ME to see my clients become strong, confident, healthy and fearlesS. MY CLIENTS BECAME MY FAMILY AND MY INSPIRATION.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AND I AM STILL HAPPILY WORKING WITH CLIENTS HERE IN SARASOTA. I HAVE EXPANDED MY TRAININGS TO INCLUDE IN-HOME TRAINING, ONLINE OR IN A PRIVATE TRAINING FACILITY IN DOWNTOWN. MY PRIMARY FOCUS IS HELPING PEOPLE build strength, MOBILITY, flexibility and balance so that everyday activities become easier and more enjoyable.
THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT IS THE WILL TO WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH. IF YOU ARE READY TO EMBARK ON YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY, I AM HERE TO HELP GUIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Together we will reach your health and fitness goals and have fun throughout the journey.
