Oh Hey Girl!
My name is Dana Leigh Snyder. I’m a fitness instructor. I teach every Monday-Friday at 10am (EST), online. I also offer in-person classes and stretch sessions (in NYC).
“fitness instructor”? Is that like a trainer?
Kind of. I design and instruct classes; I try to make them fun and interesting. Sometimes those classes are for groups or couples, and sometimes they’re for just one person. No weigh-ins with me.
I like the sound of that! but what are your classes like?
Classes are designed specifically for each group or individual. I believe in varied workouts that comfortably push your intensity level, and that help improve strength, stamina, mobility, and make you enjoy working out. Oh, and there’s lots of stretch. Check out my CLASS MENU for more delicious descriptions.
what are your “stretch sessions”?
You lay down, I stretch you out. Pretty nice! I also offer in-person group classes, and online stretch classes. More in-person stretch info HERE.
Well how much do you charge?
All of my online classes are on a pay-what-you-can basis. My in-person session rates are described as ‘reasonable’, and I also offer sliding scale options. Because fitness is for everyone!
Why are there so many cats on your website?
I don’t understand the question.
are you famous?
Yes.
Come workout with me!

OH HI AGAIN!
It’s me, Dana. I feel like I should tell you more about me. I’m just a girl who lives in Brooklyn with her guy and some fluffy cats. I’ve been teaching fitness for a long time. I also really like cats, a lot. If you prefer reading bios in the third-person, please read on…
BIO
Dana Leigh Snyder holds a certificate in Exercise Physiology from Stanford University (extension), a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell (extension), a BA in dance from UC Davis, an MFA from the New School, and is trained in TRX and Active Isolated Stretch. She studied under dancer and fitness pro Pepper Von (National Aerobic Fitness Champion), Lea Anderson (artistic director of The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs), and Bobbi Wynn Bolden (professor of Dance, UC Davis).
Originally from Sacramento, Dana began her fitness career at age 5, with Jazzercise. Her performance of “Ghostbusters” was featured on KCRA News where she wowed the audience with her jazz/fitness impression of Dr. Peter Venkman. This taste of high-energy dance fitness led to a 4-year cheerleading career that included basic tumbling, throwing people in the air and catching them, and collecting spirit sticks. She then spent the next 2 years teaching dance and cheer to teenagers, auditioning for pro sports dance teams, and taking pictures with various NBA players, before pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Dance. After graduating, she moved to NYC in to pursue her Master’s Degree, teach fitness, and run her own children’s modern dance and theatre program (URBAN WILDLIFE ARTS). Dana has been teaching fitness in NYC since 2008.
I’m so profesh!
