Personal Training

“I began personal training shortly after I became a certified group exercise instructor in 1981. Nothing brings me more joy that working with specialized populations and watching them achieve their wellness goals.”

Ilene H. Grady, Health & Wellness/Encore Director

Your reasons for being healthy and fit are personal.  Our personal trainers bring a multitude of certifications and decades of experience working with various fitness populations, ages and fragile populations and will customize a fitness plan around your goals.

My name is Ilene Harnch-Grady. I have been in the health and wellness field for 40+ years acquiring my first group exercise certification from the American Fitness Association of America in 1980.  Over the course of the last four decades, I have expanded my training to include certifications and Master Training modules in Personal Training, Stott Pilates, Boston Barre,  Registered Yoga Teacher, Body Pump, Arthritis Foundation Master Training (Water/Land),  Zumba Gold,  Spin, YWCA Encore Leadership Program to name a few.  In my current role as the Health & Wellness/Encore Director, I am able to continue to do what I love teaching a variety of classes with a special fondness for special populations including seniors and those with a cancer diagnosis, and providing private/semi-private personal training.  Sharing in individuals’ success in their health and wellness endeavors remains one of the high points and blessings in my current role.
