About Me

Hi, I’m Dana Pankonin.

For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to the art and science of fitness. My journey began in January 2005 as a Certified Group Fitness Professional with Jazzercise—a dynamic dance cardio and strength program with a 55-year legacy. Today, I serve not only as a local instructor but also as a Training Specialist for Jazzercise, Inc., certifying new instructors and sharing my expertise with the next generation of leaders in the fitness industry.

My passion for movement naturally led me deeper into wellness. In 2020, I earned my 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher Certification from the Holistic School of Yoga in Loveland, Colorado. Yoga has become a personal practice of balance, mindfulness, and strength—principles I bring to every class, integrating breathwork, stretching, and mindful movement to optimize your training. I currently lead weekly sessions every Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. at the elegant Jazzercise Venice Studio, helping clients cultivate strength, flexibility, and mental clarity.

In 2021, I relocated to Florida with my family, embracing the opportunity to grow my personal training career. I am proud to hold my Certified Personal Training Certification (ISSA, 2022) and Certified Nutrition Coach Certification (ISSA, 2024), credentials that allow me to combine over 20 years of experience into personalized, holistic programs that transform both body and mind.

My mission is to guide individuals—especially women—toward optimal health and vitality through tailored fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching. I specialize in hormone balance using a holistic framework centered on the Four Pillars of Health:

Sleep, Nutrition, Mindset/Stress Management, and Exercise.

I believe true transformation begins in the mind. That’s why you’ll often hear me say during a session: “You Can. You Will.” This mantra has guided my own journey and continues to inspire my clients to achieve lasting change.

With a genuine smile, motivating energy, and a deep commitment to your success, I offer more than workouts—I deliver a complete, transformational wellness experience.

My passion is wellness. My heart is people.
