  "Dana has been transformational in my workout routine. I have had some issues with my lower back and Dana's knowledge and expertise with anatomy and physiology have been able to tailor our sessions to strengthen those areas. I have had tremendous improvement and continue to get stronger and more flexible. Dana is the reason that I have been consistent with my workouts and she has motivated me mentally as well as physically!"

I've had the extreme pleasure and joy of taking Zumba twice a week and Pilates twice per week with Dana - I am now 68 years young at 167 pounds with a 33 inch waist...looking and feeling great. Thanks Dana-I love ya. Joe Raab "

  "I am a 28 year old, full-time worker and part-time grad student that commutes to down-town NYC M-F. After making a decision that being tierd from work/whatever was not going to cut it anymore I joined my gym and was talked into joining one of Dana's Zumba classes. Well...6 weeks later what a difference! :) My self-esteem, posture, mood, smile all came back big time. Not to mention my not so flat stomach is flat again and my tight pants are not so tight. :) I am so happy with the results from both my personal training sessions and the Pilates and Zumba classes with Dana. In the personal training sessions I was introduced to exercises and strength training machines that I either never used properly or just never used. I supplemented the training sessions with Dana's Pilates and Zumba classes and I absolutely love it. Pilates burns like crazy which Dana reminds us all 'that means you're doing it right' (when we're dieing) and in Zumba it's just a blast! It's a commitment that leaves me feeling better and puts a smile on my face after a long day. Thank you for your energy and dedication! Dana you rock! :)"

  "I met Dana while taking her pilates class, and it was amazing- I always leave class feeling great both mentally and physically. Then while training for a run I started taking private sessions. Dana also motivated me to do my best, and always helped me to achieve my best. She is constantly pushing me to reach new levels. Even after moving across country, I still go back and see her for workouts whenever I am in town. "

  "I LOVE ZUMBA!!! Dana is an amazing instructor! In all these years she has never come to class without giving 100% effort and energy. She is very open-minded and loves to hear your ideas- which I really appreciate. I never say I'm going to work out- I always say I'm going to dance class and I look forward to it! Thank you Dana for providing such a structure class. It's obvious that you put a lot of time into this and I want you to know it is recognized and greatly appreciated! Love ya!"

  "I started taking Dana's Zumba classes at the beginning of this year and can't imagine my life without them! Dana is always smiling and has such a positive attitude that it's contagious. I have so much more energy than I had before. I've also gone down a size in my clothes, which is just an added bonus to how great I feel. You can definitely tell how much effort she puts into making sure everyone works hard and has fun. Thanks Dana!! :)"

  "Dana helped us out with our Walk/Zumba event when we were in a pinch. She was professional, energetic and the crowd just loved her! (so did we). She has a warm heart and her smile can light up a room. Thank you for helping to make our event a success Dana!! Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated by all of us at Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy. Anna Trovato Community Relations"

  "I have been taking Dana's Zumba and Pilates classes at the gym for close to two years. I also take a private with her weekly. I have worked with other trainers before but never had the inspiration and personal instruction that she gives. She is by far the Best. Every week she has something new so your body never gets use to one set of excerises. I recommend coming to Evoluation to take a class Believe me it will change your Life!!! Dana is a 10 rating well above the Best of the Best"
