Our founder and fearless leader Jana has been teaching group exercise and personal training since 1990. She has a Bachelors degree in Physical Education from Bridgewater State College. In June 2007,  she realized her dream and opened Fitness Directions.

She remains on the cutting edge by attending continuing education workshops and she works out regularly with her trainer at Pure Pilates Inc. Her passion for Pilates is only matched by her dedication to Well Strong, a fitness and wellness community for those in recovery from substance-use disorder.
