who we are
We are Stefanie Sweeney and Danielle Ampolos, owners and founders of Simply Fit & Fun, and our goal is simple: we want you to be happy and healthy!
We offer a variety of classes (in-studio, virtual, and outdoors), small group training, private fitness parties and events for both personal and corporate settings. Our incredible team of instructors each bring with them a wealth of knowledge and years of experience in the health and wellness field. We may be a tad biased, but we believe that they are truly the best team around! Regardless of the setting, our team always works to deliver a workout in a very positive and welcoming environment. In addition to our classes, we offer virtual clean eating programs, Simply On Demand pre-recorded virtual workouts, specialty events that are unique to Simply Fit & Fun, free child care, and much more!
A decision made back in 2014 to partner up and co-teach Zumba® together has evolved into a thriving community and overall way of life. We truly understand and empathize with the struggle to find that work/life/healthy lifestyle balance, and keep that in mind with all that we create in the hopes of keeping you active and happy!
Stefanie and Danielle are both certified, highly qualified fitness instructors and collectively have been teaching for over 15 years. We both grew up in the same home town and have known each other since 2000! Our friendship transcends this business, and it is our sincere hope that each of you feel this same warmth and sense of family each time you work out with us and our team!
