  • Meet The Team: Jo, Trainer

  • Meet The Team: Dennis, Trainer

    I love what I do… it’s not a job, it’s a lifelong dream and a passion that allows me to serve and pour into others.

TRANSFORMATION IS POSSIBLE

Jared

I’ll start by saying that I’ve worked out on my own for 15 years, and never saw the need for a personal trainer. After 12 months of working out with a highly detailed and methodical weight plan, I added strength and size at a rate that wouldn’t have been possible on my own. The owners are amazing and incredibly personable, and would highly recommend for anyone who’s serious about achieving their goals.

Sarah

As someone who spent the majority of her adult life intimidated and terrified of the gym, I can personally attest to the warmth, hospitality and educational qualities I experienced at the Cocoon. I began training with Deanna in 2021 and to say that her and her team have helped transform not only my fitness and health but my life, would be a vast understatement. I can now confidently workout on my own (even helping others) with the knowledge I've learned and that has only further motivated me. Walking into each session, regardless of who is training and what day it is, you're greeted with a warm welcome from everyone. I am constantly asked how I made this transformation and I immediately point them to the Cocoon because I could not recommend it more! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, the entire team is amazing and is there to help you towards whatever goal you have!

Not only have I gotten in the best shape of my life, but I feel a sense of belonging and community in this space as well. This isn’t just a gym, it’s a family, full of people who genuinely want to see you at your best. Thank you Deanna and Dennis for creating such a magical place!
