I first started my yoga teaching career at Island Fitness 16 years ago shortly after Michael and Alexa took over the gym. Having taught in other locations over the last 16 years, I kept coming back as the schedule allowed . A little over four years ago I started working there full time as the Business Manager as well as teaching yoga. In some cases I end up being the resident yoga instructor when the need arises for a quick sub for another class.

As someone who has been in and out of gyms my whole adult life, I can say without hesitation Island Fitness is the most inclusive and community minded facility I have had the pleasure of not only working out in but also working for. The people I work with are committed, dedicated and some of the best I’ve ever worked with. It’s like working with a big family, we all take our careers seriously and work well together. We all strive to make the atmosphere and the programs the best they can possibly be. I’m incredibly fortunate to have such a great space and great people to work with every single day. A space like this doesn’t just happen out of thin air, it comes directly from the leadership of Michael and Alexa Rosenthal. Fitness facilities come and go, the longevity of Island Fitness is due to their dedication and desire to keep what works and improve what needs improving. I’m proud to be a part of such a wonderful place to work everyday. More...

Update 2018I like challenges when I work out. Whether it’s the plank or wall sit challenge, the Summer Sizzle, or rowing two half-marathons this year (21,097 meters each) on the indoor erg, I can always count on my trainer, Loretta, and nutritionist, Alexa, to get me through the work that needs to be done. I love Island Fitness because it isn’t a one-size-fits-all gym. My programs are designed especially for me so that, if I do the necessary work, I am successful, and, in addition, Zumba with Josh is terrific! Update 2017On January 2nd, while at Island Fitness, I suffered a cerebellar stroke. I didn’t know it at the time because I had no paralysis, speech or visual impairment -- what I thought of as “typical” stroke symptoms. I experienced extreme dizziness, nausea and an inability to walk – all affecting my balance controlled by the cerebellum. Thankful for the kindness of Oly Gallagher (Zumba instructor), Douglas (front desk) and Barbara and Suzanne from the Zumba class, and the quick response by Carol O’Neill (Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist), paramedics were called and I was eventually taken to Harrison Hospital. Within two days, I was transferred to Swedish Medical Rehab Facility and sent home on Sunday, January 8th. The physical and occupational therapists were amazed at my progress and saw no reason to keep me any longer. I, as well as the therapists, attribute my extraordinarily quick recovery to Loretta Stanton, my personal trainer at Island Fitness. For years, she has focused on, and emphasized, the importance of balance in our training sessions especially as I’ve gotten older (now 65). In less than two days, I was able to walk unassisted. If you saw me, you’d never know I had a stroke just a few weeks ago. I am forever grateful to Island Fitness and, particularly, Loretta, for her dedication, knowledge and commitment to the health and well-being of her clients. 2016: Island Fitness is a great place to workout. The owners, Alexa and Michael, are fantastic business people. They know how to treat their clients. I've participated in lots of activities offered over the many years, including cycling, TRX and zumba - teachers are well-trained and lots of fun. I've been with a fantastic personal trainer, Loretta, for years (as well as a year with Jennie). Alexa, who does nutrition counseling, is both supportive and knowledgeable. It's amazing how little we know about what we eat! With all the help I receive from the great people at Island Fitness, I'm looking forward to many more years at Island Fitness to continue a healthy lifestyle. More...

Update 2018Island Fitness is a great place to work out. Although I love to complain that my trainer, Loretta, is torturing me, she is, in fact, working to keep me strong. Having a personal trainer is very important so that I exercise correctly without causing myself any injury. I always look forward to my massage therapy with Carol to finish off the week. Island Fitness is a perfect place to work out, have a steam or massage or just visit with old friends before one of the many free classes. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the trainers are top notch. They are able to work with newbies and serious bodybuilders. I have no reservations recommending Island Fitness.Update 2017My wife, Leona, and I were at Island Fitness on January 2nd, when she had a cerebellar stroke. Because of the quick response by trainer and massage therapist, Carol O’Neill, in calling 911, a potentially life-threatening situation was avoided. I am forever grateful for the concern shown by owners, Alexa and Michael Rosenthal, for Leona’s welfare, and for our personal trainer, Loretta Stanton’s continuing efforts to help restore Leona’s balance and confidence. Looking at her today, you’d never know she had a stroke just weeks ago. The care and professionalism of the owners and personnel of Island Fitness team to their members is immeasurable. More...

Tanya is a gifted NIA instructor - facilitator - partner! She has a playful, nurturing spirit which she brings to every class. One can always rely on a class filled with exploration and delight. Tanya promotes fellowship among her partners in this dance.Each class begins and ends with her request that we be intentional in the care of our mind, body and soul. The life lessons we experience with her in the sacred space she creates can be relied upon to spill out into our day to day AND thus impacting not only ourselves but a much bigger circle in and outside our world! That’s pretty amazing!From the start I felt Tanya’s open mind and kind energy - something I sorely needed in the messiness of my life. Her calm, open personality continues to create an atmosphere of acceptance, freedom and yes fun for all of us!Her bright light is contributing to many healing journeys!Tanya has a way of infusing classic NIA technique with her unique style while promoting “your way” and “listen to your body”. I am always filled to the point of overflowing with positive energy and simply feeling good - and always, always wanting to come back for more. Tanya’s classes are truly about listening and responding to the needs of your mind and body. She so joyfully encourages self-expression and makes a connection with every person in class. I have had so many conversations with those who have participated in a class with me who feel as I do - that NIA has touched their lives outside the class setting: feel more open to new experiences, more fulfilled, less stressed and most importantly start and end each day with more warmth, gratitude and joy!Three cheers for Tanya Agnew - the best of them all!What a grand and glorious day - the day she came into the class as a substitute teacher at Island Fitness Center!
