At Coastal Strength & Fitness, we love celebrating the dedication, resilience, and energy of our members. And today, we’re shining the spotlight on two incredible women who embody everything we stand for—Dianne Haley and Lee Anne Saks Dunn.

This mother-daughter duo brings their A-game every single day, proving that fitness has no age limit and that strength comes in many forms. They support each other, push each other, and inspire those around them with their positivity, consistency, and dedication.

How It Started: A Journey to Strength & Health

Dianne and Lee Anne joined Coastal Strength & Fitness in January 2022, and their story is nothing short of inspiring.

Lee Anne: "I had become weak from heart surgery and had gained 100lbs. Mom wanted to support me as well as participate in a healthy lifestyle."

Rather than facing the journey alone, they took it on together, showing up day after day, building strength, and proving that fitness is a lifelong investment.

What They Were Doing Before Coastal

Before stepping into the Coastal community, both Dianne and Lee Anne lived active lifestyles in different ways:

• Lee Anne: Skied and swam regularly.

• Dianne: Hiked, did aerobics, karate, dance, and even bowled.

That movement gave them a solid foundation, but their time at Coastal has taken their strength, stamina, and mobility to new levels.

The Results? Life-Changing.

Since joining Coastal, their progress has been nothing short of incredible:

✅ Lee Anne has lost 57lbs, and Dianne has lost 20lbs.
✅ Both have significantly increased their strength, mobility, and stamina.
✅ Their mental well-being has improved just as much as their physical health.

They’re proof that small, consistent steps lead to massive transformations.

What Keeps Them Coming Back?

When asked what they love most about Coastal Strength & Fitness, their answer was simple:

"We love the staff, coaches, the program, the members, and the facility. We have been thrilled with the entire experience!"

That’s what it’s all about—a community that makes fitness fun, welcoming, and sustainable.
