We realize you have many choices available when it comes to fitness and we’d like to take the time to thank you for researching your next level of success. We take your health very seriously, as should you. We appreciate you trusting us with this important responsibility.
Having been involved in the Fitness Industry for over 25 years, I became increasingly frustrated at its?poor standards. Quite simply, I became sick and tired of clubs where sales numbers were more important than member results. Personal training standards were ridiculously poor and good training programs and qualified instruction were almost impossible to find. I set out to create the solution. And I truly believe I did!
In 2009, we became the first Adult Training gym in Western MA. We have an incredibly knowledgeable and energized team of coaches, research-based training methods and a clean, no fluff training facility. You won?t find a more qualified or more highly-trained fitness training team anywhere. We also offer lifestyle enhancement programs based on improving the activities in your life such as Golfing, Biking, Obstacle Course Racing, distance running or any of the other sports you might participate in. From the pro’s to everyday Joes, middle and high school athletes, elite level players, we can get you there you need be.? If you just want to finally look move and feel better, you landed in the right place.
Recovering from an injury?? We are the only physician and physical therapist backed Return – To – Play program in the region. ACL, knee or hip replacement?? Sprained ankle, sore back? Whatever your setback might have been.? You can trust my team to get you back to full strength.
What truly sets us apart from other gyms is that we are the only fitness facility in the area you can experience before you make a commitment. You can come in and meet with one of our team coaches, become a member for 21 days (21 DAY JUMPSTART), and see if our gym is for you without any commitment. More importantly, we are the only fitness facility whose sole focus is not on membership numbers ? but on our members’ results. We want to positively IMPACT our members, our community and inspire others to greatness.
We don?t have salespeople…come meet our qualified team of coaches and decide for yourself. If we can?t earn your trust during your introductory program and prove to you that we?re the best gym in Western MA, walk away with no obligation whatsoever. It really is that simple!

I have always believed that if you want to have a healthy, balanced life, you must eat well & MOVE WELL! Since I was in high school I have always had my training and nutrition as a priority in my life. I was helping friends and family eat right and lose fat at a very early age. I helped multiple friends lose 20+ pounds when I was a junior in high school! Being able to coach others so that they are able to reach their goals has been incredibly rewarding. I am here to help any motivated individual who comes into Conca reach their goals.
I took that early passion and turned it into my future career. I recently graduated from Westfield State University with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science. I am also a certified personal trainer, functional strength coach and soon to be a nutritionist. I have also partnered with Exercise is Medicine and ACSM this past year to present & publish research on the benefits of physical activity within a group and/or personal training. I also began natural bodybuilding a few years back when I wanted to take my training and nutrition to absolute extremes. Following safe and effective dieting protocols, I coached myself and was able to drop roughly 50lbs and reach sub 5% body fat to win my first ever bodybuilding show in July of 2016. Drug-free bodybuilding was a great sport for the sole fact that I was competing with myself. I plan to compete for many more years to come!
Whether you are an athlete or just someone trying to get back in shape, I can not stress enough that it always comes down to you vs. yourself. I never compared my fitness journey to someone else?s, and I believe that is what lead to my success. Your beginning maybe someone?s middle, and that is totally fine!

For some people, it seems they have no struggles with fitness or nutrition. That was not me. I have struggled with self-image and low confidence that led to an unhealthy relationship with food and the scale. In 2011 I decided to make a change to become a happier & healthier wife, mother & role model.
In the process, I decided to share my journey with others inspiring many friends and family along the way. A fire within me had been lit. Through my own struggles, I realized that there was a missing link. There is a complex relationship between exercise, nutrition and emotions that often go undiscussed and finding the support from family or close friends can be tough. This is where my passion lies in helping others.
I am a very open person, so feel free to reach out & be open as well. Nutrition is not always easy, I completely get it! I am that girl who would eat almost a whole container of double stuffed Oreo?s at one sitting or mix up a batch of brownie batter without egg and eat it like pudding. Habits can and WILL change. Support and an environment like Conca provides will get you there. Give yourself time & Don?t give up! One thing I will say is success will not happen overnight & it is not always a straight line. Commit you yourself. You are in good hands, here. I can attest to that 1st hand.
I always say things happen for a reason. Sometimes talking to someone who has ?Been There? helps. I have found the strength to overcome rooted self-esteem issues by focusing on myself through nutrition, fitness, a supportive community, and personal development. You can too! You can accomplish anything you put your heart and mind too.
Depending on what my schedule allows, you may find me at CSF, or I may be doing a lot of the ?behind the scenes? work remotely. I also run an amazing online personal coaching platform that really aligns with my passion. You can read about it here: http://bit.ly/CSFheather

I started my internship Jan 22nd, 2018 during my Spring semester at WSU and it was by far the best gig around! An incredible internship program designed for success including on the floor coaching from day 1 and all sorts readings/videos and meetings to keep us on track and continuously progress.
Mr. Conca connected me with the Westfield Senior center in an attempt to re-build a broken program where the previous instructor had left without any notice. I started with a total of 5 men in late January 2018 meeting one day a week from 9-10am for this all-male class. Since then, I have managed to more than double the numbers of members as well as add another class per week on Wednesday mornings. The class is based around strength, balance, mobility and core stability training. One gentleman in the class just after attending the class 1 day per week had decreased low back pain which was noticed by his chiropractor and now after adding in the 2nd day per week he no longer has to visit him.
Having the opportunity to run Conca’s first Fit in 42 program was a true pleasure and an incredible opportunity for myself and everyone that joined me on that 42 day lifestyle change. High energy, no judgement, team work and a supportive environment like I’ve never been a part of before. It was unbelievable to see what practicing the fundamentals over and over again for 6 weeks can do the body while following the nutrition plan. Truly inspiring, age does not define exercise limitations and it’s never too late to reinvent yourself!
