Health and Fitness have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing sports,
but it was the little things along the way (like ordering a glass of milk as a kid during dinner when
all my friends would order a coke), that molded me into the fitness nut that I am today.
After graduating from college I then became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist – training athletes for
performance enhancement during the next 5 years. I have shifted gears a little since then,
and currently teach weight training, physical fitness, and body conditioning classes at
North Seattle Community College. I recently joined Fitness Together's team of trainers, and have been very pleased
to be working alongside other knowledgeable, passionate, and professional individuals.
I enjoy working with an array of clients – all ages, abilities, and experience levels – as I feel
my passion and knowledge can influence and improve anyone interested in fitness. Whether you’re a
high level athlete preparing for your next event; someone looking to decrease body fat and/or gain
lean muscle mass; improve energy levels, balance, posture, flexibility, strength and endurance; reduce or
prevent injuries, or even prepare for a physique competition (I just completed my 3rd natural bodybuilding
contest- achieving my personal best), together we can achieve your goals.
Jon has a B.S. in Exercise Science from Western Washington University and also obtained a CSCS certification from the
National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Fitness is a way of life; one that allows us to live fully with the greatest quality possible.
The human body is an amazing medium that can be sculpted to meet the demands of your life. Functional
training is my passion: building lean muscle, strengthening the core along with the cardiovascular system,
and improving balance and fluidity.
The commitment to living an active lifestyle is the greatest decision you will ever make. I commend you
for taking the first step and will guide you toward your goals with compassion, knowledge, and motivation.

CORBY HETTLER
Personal Trainer

Fitness is a lifestyle. This is, in short, what I have learned in the decade of attending various
gyms and hiring numerous personal trainers on my journey to achieve a better body, mind and spirit.
I entered into this profession after 10 years of being the client, listening to and implementing the
advice of some very poor, usually mediocre and rarely gifted trainers. Along this path I gained
an understanding of what makes a trainer good at their profession, what gives them the edge to
get the best results out of there client.
Using this background and continuing to acquire skills and certifications along the way, I’m happy to
say I have been able to help other individuals achieve their goals and change there lives for the better.
Seeing individuals physically change there bodies and open up to a new lifestyle, where they are more
confident and healthy is the greatest reward for a fitness professional.
Whatever your goals may be, let’s work together and implement a lifelong change. I can tell you from
personal experience there is no greater gift you can give to yourself.
Corby earned an A.A. from the Art Institute of Houston, his Persoanl Trainer Certifiation from the National
Counsel on Strength and Fitness and is also an Integral Yoga Certified Teacher in Basic Hatha Yoga.

ANANDA GELLOCK
Studio Owner

My name is Ananda Gellock and I'm the owner of Fitness Together Seattle & Mercer Island. I'm really glad
you are checking out our web site,
because this means that you are ready to make a change, and we are expert at taking people who are ready to
change, but not sure how, and getting them started (the hardest part of any exercise program)!
What is your reason?
Almost five years ago I received my reality check reason in the form of vacation photos...
My childhood and early teens were spent as a competitive gymnast, physique & health were a constant priority.
In late teens being a high school cheerleader and coaching gymnastics continued that positive momentum. Then in
my 20's I became a constant fixture at the local gym, hitting it on my way to work and participating in fun runs - for fun!
By my late 20's all free time was spent building my career instead of my biceps, being wined & dined by my future
husband (we both gained 5 - 10 pounds over that time), trimmed up for my wedding day, and then... kinda forgot
about my body. Sure I would do yoga, or get on the treadmill here and there but I got completely wrapped up in
getting pregnant, having our first child, and adjusting to the new life we created.
I got some vacation pictures back and stared in disbelief. Who was this chubby girl looking back at me?
I honestly had not realized that all of that sacrificing "me" time to focus on the family had left me more than 15 lbs
over weight. Besides the whole vanity thing I had low energy unless highly caffeinated, often felt irritable, and my
feelings were even interfering with my relationship - I just didn't feel sexy anymore.
I made a decision, got started, and although it wasn't easy I felt improved after only 2 weeks! Steadily fat melted
and toned muscle appeared, and as this happened I was encouraged and started eating more healthfully. A little moderation
went a long way, and without ever depriving myself (I will never stop eating chocolate!) I soon was able to reach my
initial fitness goal - finally reaching my pre-baby weight. It was the shortest 3 months of my life! If only I had known
that was all it would take I would have certainly started sooner.
Today I'm busy with two girls, my husband, other family and friend commitments, and work too - but each week I make the
decision to take care of myself first so I have something to offer those around me. Making the decision
to make my health, my body, and my mind a priority has had an awesome effect. I heard a wise person once say that
"when you climb a mountain, you never regret getting to the top." To me exercising 4 days a week is very much the same.
I promise that you'll never regret the workout when you are done, and you certainly will never regret the results when you
have committed to 3 months.
Every person's reason to make a change is unique to them. We understand. Whatever your reason is, we look forward to
getting to know you and your reasons, so we can help you start achieving your results. Start your results today by calling
us at 206.324.3010!
