Co-owner Karen Kissinger is a certified Life and Wellness Coach and actively supports many health and wellness causes. “Heart disease is the number one killer of both women and men in the U.S. and has touched many of our clients and loved ones,” said Kissinger. “I want to help educate people about the importance of heart health and healthy life choices.”

Fitness Together specializes in one-on-one personal training in private suites. “Our objective is to help people get active and live healthier lives,” said Scott Espinosa, a Certified Personal Trainer and owner of Fitness Together - Tremont.
