JAMIE DREYER
Born and raised on the South shore of Long Island, Jamie had the good fortune of growing up in a nutrition conscious home and began sports at an early age. His teenage years were filled with wrestling, scouting and weight training. When college came around, the exercise sciences seemed an obvious choice.
Jamie began his personal training career in 1997 after receiving the A.C.E. certification and an associates degree in science. His passion for learning about the human body has driven him to earn many a certification.
“I am a huge fitness nerd. If you ask me questions about anatomy, physiology or why you are doing something, I will dork out on you and effusively share whatever I know. Be prepared not only to work out, but to learn how and why!”

MARIBEL TORRES
Maribel began her fitness career at the age of 18, working in the neighborhood Jack La Lanne and became hooked on weight training. There she met “The Father of Fitness” himself, Jack La Lanne, and was inspired to dream.
Although her subsequent career choices led her in a different direction, Maribel came back to the fitness industry in 2006 to share her inspiration and knowledge with others.
“Over the past 20 years I have witnessed how much the fitness industry has grown. There is plenty of new research and science in regards to nutrition and exercise. I am amazed that people still hold onto old myths and are looking for that miracle pill/diet or one exercise that will “transform” them. If I continued to follow that line of thinking, I would still be holding on to excess weight from my two pregnancies instead of being in the best shape of my life. Yes, it took hard work and dedication, but the benefits and rewards are worth it!”
“Continuing education is key so that I can bring the knowledge and the know-how to help all my clients reach their goals and dispel their myths and old wives tales.”
