Meet your Club Manager

CLUB MANAGER
Dylan has been working with Pure since Spring of 2022. He started in our Millsboro location, and then was promoted to Manager of the West OC branch a year later. His favorite part of the gym is the interactions he gets with the variety of different members that come through his doors, and he says he never gets bored! He loves to read, smoke cigars, watch basketball, and spend time with his friends/family. His favorite exercise is the rower (full body work, and he knocks cardio off his todo list).

trainer testimonials

Trainer bj pietryk

“Very attentive and communicates very well. He knows how hard to push and is aware of your strengths and weaknesses. He takes an overall approach of exercise, nutrition and general health concerns or issues. Highly recommend him to anyone.” - Mark McCormick
trainer bj pietryk

“BJ has been my personal trainer for over 10 years, and I can honestly rate him as a 10 out of 10. He has been able to adjust my training workouts based on a number of factors, for example, post surgeries, back issues and travel plans, just to name a few. By understanding my condition and these factors, he always knew when to "push", "stay the same" or "relax" the routine. He also made the routines interesting by always "mixing it up". It took the boredom out of exercising, and at the same time, educate me on new exercises to do on my own. Even when I was on my own, if he saw me doing something incorrectly, he would go out his way to come over and "set me straight". You can really tell that he is concerned about your condition and health by "pressing" other issues such as diet and drinking. I have complete trust in him and his training methods, and I hope he continues with me. I don't believe that I would work out with any other trainer if he left.” — Dean Stefanides
