Patch: How would you best describe your business?

Dell'Amore: We help people of all ages and fitness levels lose weight, tone-up, get stronger, reduce joint pain and improve their overall health. Our Smithtown personal training studio is part of a wellness center which includes Long Island Chiropractic and Physical Therapy.

P: What makes your business unique?

D: We are a lifestyle transformation center that focuses on a holistic approach to transforming your mind, body and health. Our approach is to help you transform your mind by turning unhealthy habits into healthy ones, transform your body through better eating and exercise, and to transform your health as you begin to live a healthy, fulfilling life. Our workouts are specifically made to help you reach your goals, and every workout is different. You will never do the same workout twice. Transfitnation is much more than the average personal training, it's about all making small lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy, fulfilling life.

P: What's the best business advice you've ever received?

D: Don't spend your entire life working for something you don't love or believe in. Once you find your passion, do everything in your power to follow it and turn it into a reality. Too many people are stuck working jobs they don't enjoy and living a stressful and unfulfilling life. Change your mindset and become a fearless leader of your life.

P: Why did you decide to open your business in Smithtown?

D: I worked at a local gym in the community and made Smithtown my home over the last 2 years. After starting my business, I partnered with another local business - Long Island Chiropractic & Physical Therapy - to complement their services in our Wellness Center. Our office offers a unique combination of rehabilitative services including physical therapy, chiropractic care, corrective exercise, nutritional guidance and personal training.

P: What makes Smithtown special?

D: Smithtown is a community full of hard-working and determined people, and home to the beautiful Nissequogue River. I love floating down the river on my kayak and going for a jog in one of the many parks on a warm summer day.

P: What's one thing you want your customers to know about your business?

D: Transfitnation was started with the mission to help people live healthy, fulfilling lives by making small lifestyle changes. We will be with you every step of the way as you transform your mind, your body, and your health.

P: What's one fun fact about you?

D: I lived in Australia for two years and I backpacked 15,000 miles around the world by land and sea from Singapore to Morocco in 6 months. I did it with one bag and for less than $45 a day!
