Jon Hernandez has been a personal trainer for 8 years. He graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in Environmental Studies. He started personal training as a part-time job to help pay for school and ended up loving it! Throughout his college career, Jon competed in powerlifting competitions at both the national and international levels. He still practices the sport, but his real passion is personal training.

Jon has been a personal trainer since 2005. What he loves most about training is the “personal” aspect of it. He enjoys the active lifestyle and loves helping others stay active and live a healthier life. Jon is looking forward to being able to provide his knowledge to the residents at Palmira and helping others move forward toward their goals. He believes physical fitness is the key to maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle at any age or fitness level. Whether your goal is to play a better golf or tennis game, improve your physical physique, maintain your independence, or just keep up with your grandkids, physical fitness will help in achieving those goals. Jon is looking forward to meeting and getting to know each and every one of you!

Donna Silva Miller

Mobile phone: (508) 361-8970

After retiring from the textile industry….Donna has always been very active with tennis, golf and running and now pickleball. With the combination of work and activities, she needed something to help slow her down! After her first yoga class more than 30 years ago (and actually falling asleep during Savasana) it was confirmed just how much she needed balance in my life. Yoga has been the answer! Now a permanent resident in FL, Donna started to share yoga in my  home with friends who had never done yoga before. Seeing the changes and benefits in them and receiving all the positive feedback brought her great joy, which prompted her to get my teaching certification. Additionally she is probably the biggest animal lover on the planet! Namaste……
