Cory
started his love of fitness when he was only 15 years old. His parents
bought him a weight set and he started using those weights in the
family basement in upstate New York. Through trial and error
he learned how to use the weights
and he saw results from his long hours in the basement. When
it was time to go to college, Cory knew his passion was fitness
and helping people get fit. He started college at Radford in
southeast Virginia with a major in Sports Medicine. After graduation,
Cory started an internship at The Fitness Connection, a wellness center
owned and operated by Montgomery Regional Hospital in Virginia.
After his internship, he was hired by The Fitness Connection to start
and manage a personal training program for the facility. It
was during this position that he received his certification by the
American Council on Exercise (ACE).
Melissa
had a different passion when she was growing up in Boston, Massachusetts,
she had a love of animals. Throughout her childhood she brought home
every hurt, homeless or just lost animal. In her senior year of high
school, she met and became friends with the school nurse. It was during
her senior year, that Melissa learned how a nurse could help people.
Melissa started college at the University of Massachusetts, majoring
in nursing. After graduation, she worked for a short time in a state
hospital in the emergency department. Melissa moved to North Carolina
in 1995 to be with her mother who was fighting breast cancer. She
continued her nursing career at Wake Medical working weekends and
caring for her mother during the week. Over the next few years, Melissa
injured her back and eventually had to undergo back surgery. After
recovering, Melissa tried to go back to nursing in a management position
but she felt it was a waste to be stuck behind a desk and not working
with the patients. It was after that realization and her mother's
death that Melissa left nursing and started working as a recruiter
finding nurses and technical candidates. It was during this time that
a friend set Melissa up on a blind date. 
Peggy
is a certified trainer through A.F.P.A and has been involved in the
fitness industry for over six years. Peggy lives a fully active
lifestyle, she runs daily and loves to play volleyball. Peggy
was born and raised in Spain and has been with Phase II at Millpond
Village since our opening.
Donna has been an AFPA certified personal trainer since 1997.
This former “Jersey Girl” taught step aerobics, pilates, spinning, and strength training, but her passion is one-on-one training.
She practices what she preaches by living and breathing the fitness lifestyle.
Her love of fitness is contagious and she makes exercising challenging but fun for all of her clients.
Megan is originally from central Pennsylvania where she received a B.S. degree from Millersville University.
Upon graduation, she moved with her boyfriend Shaun to Clemson, SC where he received his master’s degree and she decided to pursue the fitness industry more seriously.
She decided to take some personal training classes at a local college and then received her certification through ISSA.
After becoming certified, she and Shaun relocated to the Raleigh area for job opportunities.
