    • Dana Swenson

    • General Manager

    I’m from Broken Arrow, Ok but have lived in Murphy for 6 years.
    I have always been interested in helping others better themselves as well as feeling as confident and comfortable as possible in their own skin.
    I am currently in the process of getting my personal training and Certified Pool Operator certification. When I’m finished with that, I plan to go to school for my massage therapy certification.
    My favorite part about working at MHF is watching our members on their journey to improve their health and confidence. Our amazing staff is just another added bonus!
    I am a wife and a mom of a very active 3 year old boy! In my free time you can find me seeking out any kind of adventure with my two boys. We especially love to be outside in the sun, in the woods, or chasing waterfalls!
