This month, we are shining our spotlight on a rising star in the world of fitness and personal training, Vinny Doran. 

Born and raised in Cleveland, Vinny graduated from St. Ignatius High School, which is where his personal fitness journey began. As an athlete, Vinny enjoyed working to improve his own strength and endurance, but he quickly realized his true passion was helping others reach their fitness goals.  

After high school, Vinny joined the National Guard and performed basic training in Missouri. Upon returning to Cleveland, Vinny became a Fitness Coach through the International Sports Science Association and began his coaching career as the Assistant Training Director for a local LA Fitness facility. 

In 2020, with valuable experience under his belt, Vinny launched his own personal training business, Dream Body Coaching. Committed to a client-centric business model, Vinny focuses on helping those he trains “build sustainable, healthy lifestyles while accomplishing their fitness goals.” He works with Browns Fit at Flats East Bank to offer in-person training while maintaining online options for those who prefer to train virtually. 

Personally, Vinny competed in his first bodybuilding competition last October, placing 5th in the True Novice division of the Dave Leiberman contest. He wanted to prove to himself and his clients that regardless of where they are starting at, progress is always possible. 

Vinny plans on growing his business here in Cleveland and helping all of his clients to adopt the lifestyle that will allow them to reach their fitness goals. To get on Vinny’s exclusive client list, DM @dreambodycoaching.
