Dana Johnson

This week’s trainer spotlight is Dana Johnson. She works from both our La Plata Studio and World Gym locations. She’s involved in our corporate wellness programs and is favorite for all the participants of our Senior Center classes. The rest of her bio follows:

Dana has participated in dance for many years. The dance styles have included: liturgical, hip hop, mime, and contemporary. In the military, she was a PT Leader and led running groups for the troops she supervised. She made sure they kept a focus on maintaining their level of physical fitness to exceed the standards on the fitness tests they had to take each year. For her church, she is one of the Body and Soul leaders that educates and motivates the congregation towards achieving higher levels of health and wellness. She continues to dedicate herself towards a life of fitness and living a healthy lifestyle.

Dana is currently enrolled in the College of Southern Maryland (CSM) and expected to complete her Associate’s Degree in Exercise Science this year. She is a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) from National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and in Basic Life Support (BLS) from the American Heart Association (AHA).

Dana has experience training diverse groups. Her favorites to work with are kids and senior citizens. She feels both have an enthusiasm about being physical that can’t be rivaled. Whether she’s organizing Youth Field Day, through church, or teaching a small group fitness class at Richard Clark Senior Center, she loves the feeling she gets back from each participant. She also enjoys working with these groups because you can see the benefits appear so quickly. She is passionate about helping people take themselves to better lives through movement and healthier lifestyle choices.
