Donny Dunn

Owner

Hi! My name is Donny Dunn and I am one of the proud new owners of your Anytime Fitness Club here in Grass Valley. Like many, I have always been aware of the benefits of good health. But also like many, I have spent a great deal of my life not paying enough attention to it. Because of that, I nearly lost my life. Thankfully, for reasons that I personally believe and hold very dear to my heart, I am still here. I often think about the matter of things, why some things happen and other things don’t, and it seems I often see it; and this one especially. If you would ever like to hear my story, I am happy to share it. But mostly I would like to hear your story. When you decide that your health is one of the most important things in your life, and you’re ready to take control of it, then come on in and say hi. We have so much to share. We’re a family here, and we would love nothing more than for you to be a part of it. ~Donny

I have always loved the outdoors; things like camping, hiking, scuba, kayaking and even some quad riding have been the backbone of my recreational life. In school I was on the swim team from age six all the way through high school, and I played some softball, too! I enjoyed softball so much that I spent many years running the local softball club, and even coached both of my daughters! Staying healthy has always been a part of what I do, as it has allowed me to continue to do the things that I have always loved. I am so excited to be starting this new family, our Anytime Fitness family, to create a place where we all can set our goals and get to that healthier place together!

My fitness journey began when I faced my first deal of adversity as a collegiate athlete. I underwent a surgery that dropped my muscle mass to the point where I lost 45 pounds and this caused me to lose a large amount of my athletic scholarship. The rehab was long and difficult in every aspect. I ultimately made my way back into better shape than I had ever been in before and with that, I learned an important lesson. No matter what you are facing at work, home, or any other part of life, the gym is there. Allow fitness to be your escape from the negativity, believe in health and the betterment of yourself and the rest will fall into place. To assist others on their fitness journeys is simply a dream and I could not be more excited to be a part of it.

Brandon Fouse: Grass Valley Gym

Manager

My passion for fitness began early on in life through various sports. I wasn't always in good shape. In fact, I spent most of my childhood being overweight and insecure about my body. It wasn't until 2014 that I took full responsibility of my health and began working out in a gym consistently and eating right. The summer of 2017, I began my career as a firefighter. I worked with the U.S. Forest Service on a wild-land fire crew. Being in this line of work, I had to be in the best shape of my life. I am training educationally and physically in order to expand my career in the fire service. Although I am not a personal trainer yet, I take fitness very seriously, keeping diversity in my workouts successively to keep training enjoyable. I appreciate the outdoors. I savor being around water, wake boarding, snowboarding, camping, hiking, fishing and many other hobbies/activities. I thoroughly enjoy giving advice and helping everyone that I can to the best of my knowledge.

After 17 years out of the workforce, I am excited to be contributing to the Anytime Fitness community. I have been an athlete all my life and enjoy anything that involves movement. I am a true believer in the power of exercise in achieving a healthy mind, body, and soul. I will be getting my personal training certification soon, and look forward to working directly with the members of Anytime Fitness, Penryn. I love to help others, so if there is anything I can do to help you achieve your fitness goals, please let me know.

Shana Shappee: Grass Valley Gym

Staff

I have been married to my best friend for 27 years, and we have a beautiful daughter who is the joy of my life. I entered the Air Force after high school, which is where I met my husband. I became a military wife and stay at home mom. I walked through these doors a desperate woman. I have been a little overweight my entire life. If you believe in serendipity that is what I found that day, forces combined to bring about wonderful opportunity for change. I was finally ready to tackle my problem and I was about to be given the tools that I needed. The entire staff helped me to get where I am today, which is 57 lbs less (and counting) than when I walked into Anytime Fitness. Chris gave me the key to the box I had been trapped in my whole life and then helped drag me out of it. Shanna has watched over me, supported me, and listened to me and Sharon has given me her time when she had none, her support, when she had a million things to do, and a job that I love more than any other I have had.

Pamela has always been curious and passionate about health and wellness. She frequently enjoyed recreational sports and outdoor activities. She also participated in Track and field, but it was her career in nursing that really put life, longevity and overall health into perspective. This motivated Pamela to prioritize her health and encouraged her to change her lifestyle. Around this time she discovered bodybuilding and the significance of nutrition. In 2016 she decided to move from NY to CA to pursue her goals within the fitness industry. She became a member of the National Physique Committee and began competing in bodybuilding. During this time she started working with a nutrition/supplement company and other sponsorships. She is currently a national level competitor focusing on her journey to the professional league. Certified through the ACSM, and is excited to connect with you. She hopes to help encourage you to achieve goals and hit milestones throughout your fitness journey!

Tara Kelly: Grass Valley Gym

Trainer

I don’t remember when I was not actively involved with a sport or some form of fitness. I played competitive sports starting in middle school and all the way through college with partial scholarships in two sports – field hockey and lacrosse! At first, the sport was my fitness. It didn’t take long before I realized that focused fitness outside the sport greatly enhanced my sport performance, endurance and made playing a lot more fun. After college, it was a transition to balance sports, fitness, eating and work. I received certifications in cycling and group fitness and taught while working full-time in the video production industry. In 2011 I made fitness my main focus and got my personal training certification (NASM). I have a passion for helping and inspiring people to improve their health on many levels. I focus on functional fitness and am very much a “proper form” trainer. I look forward every day to inspiring people to reach their health and fitness goals.

My whole life I have been an active outdoor type of person, I enjoy golfing, fishing, camping, hiking to name a few. After high school and sports were over I found myself falling into the work, home, rest, repeat cycle and my health suffered. Finally at 30 years old and feeling tired, slow and out of shape I decided to restart my fitness journey. During the process of taking care of myself, friends and family started to take notice and would join me in workouts. After seeing the joy I was able to bring others through health and fitness I found my new mission. To help as many people as possible not just get fit but enjoy the process and make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy helping people spend more quality time with friends, family and their hobbies. As a NASM certified personal trainer I would love to help make the change in your life you're seeking.
