About the Gym

      Finger Lakes Fitness Center, started January 2004 as a place to serve downtown employees and residents, has been changing the image of fitness facilities for the past 15 years. FLFC, under the leadership of its owner- Dan Stehm, has grown to become as diverse as Ithaca is itself – rich in cultures as well as capabilities. In fact, diversity, along with inclusivity, and accessibility are the top priorities for this 24-hour access fitness center.

   FLFC’s owner – Dan Stehm believes fitness is for everyone. It is with that in mind that he diligently works with insurance companies, businesses, and various programs to help make it more accessible. Dan has over 30 years of experience, both teaching and training in the fitness industry, in addition to completing a degree in Physical Education at SUNY Cortland, and attaining a certification as a National Strength and Conditioning Specialist. That experience has allowed Dan to successfully cultivate Finger Lakes Fitness Center to be an unintimidating environment while providing members with exceptional trainers, instructors, and staff.
