Woman Working Out — Bridgewater, NJ — Upbeat Dance and Fitness

About Us

Hi! I'm Denel, creator of Upbeat. I've been teaching fitness classes for 30 years and have several national certifications along with a masters degree in Exercise Science (not just a quick weekend certification). I have taught at the college level for 15 years. I am a working mom of 2 teenage girls - I know what "busy" is!

I want to create a welcoming fitness space for you. Sometimes it is hard to find a gym environment that is non-competitive, non-intimidating, and convenient. So we're building our own! There are no required intense exercises here. For example, as someone who deals with chronic pain/ fibromyalgia, burpees don't serve my body. We can always find options that work for YOU. Join our community if YOU have joint pain, are just starting out, are overweight, or want to be challenged conveniently at your own pace.

We will do EFFECTIVE exercise that doesn't hurt.

"No pain, no gain" is simply a terrible, outdated strategy to improve fitness.

A Judgment-Free Zone

Our goal at Upbeat Dance and Fitness is to ensure your success. We work with people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and experience levels. Whether it be a virtual workout class or an at-home workout, we will cater to your goals and needs. We understand the stress that going to the gym can create, and the time it can take. From convenience to comfort, home workouts can be a life saver for busy people! We also offer in home training sessions in the Bridgewater NJ area.
