Dory Berman – Aquatics Director
Once upon a time there was a curly haired girl named Dory who had a two-pack-a-day cigarette habit. A smoker for 13 years, at age 23 she realized her lifestyle HAD to change. A friend dared her to join a health club, which was a big deal since she had always ridiculed health clubs, viewing exercising indoors as a complete waste of time. A few months into her membership, Dory reluctantly joined an aerobics class. After a lot of struggling, as most do, with the moves, directional changes, and generally keeping up, she eventually got the hang of it. More importantly, Dory saw an incredible change in her body, her attitude, and her energy. Six months later Dory became a certified aerobics instructor.
Dory has been teaching group exercise for over 30 years. She loves all forms of group exercise, but is most passionate about water aerobics. Join Dory for a spirited, joyful water workout at Waverley Oaks. Or attend BodyPump with Dory as she leads you through one of her favorite Les Mills programs with energy and enthusiasm. Come find out why Dory loves what she does so much!
Carly Cormier
Carly learned how to swim at a young age and went on to become a competitive swimmer while attending Bridgewater State University. Although she earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Communication, it wasn’t until she entered the workforce that she discovered her true passion for teaching. While serving as an Aquatics Director at another facility, Carly initially hadn’t considered teaching water fitness – but it quickly became a transformative experience. With two young children, she chose to become certified through the Aquatics Exercise Association (AEA) as a way to continue working part-time while doing something she loved. Carly takes great pride in continually learning and refining her skills as an aquatic fitness instructor. She brings high energy to every class, with the goal of helping participants leave feeling strong, confident, and energized.
Joanne Scouler
Joanne has worked in the fitness industry for over twenty years and has been an athlete her entire life. As a child, she was a competitive swimmer with the New England Barracudas swim team, and later, while attending McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, she competed in field hockey.
A shoulder injury eventually brought Joanne back to the pool, where she experienced firsthand how healing and effective water can be for injury recovery and physical limitations. After rehabilitating her shoulder through aquatic exercise, she discovered a passion for teaching aqua fitness classes.
Joanne is grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate, coach, and share her love of movement with others, helping participants build strength, improve cardiovascular fitness, and feel confident in the water.
She is certified as an Aquatic Exercise Professional through AEA, a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor through the Red Cross, and a Group Exercise Instructor through SCW Fitness. Joanne specializes in aquatic exercise and active aging, and she loves incorporating music and dance into her classes. She looks forward to meeting you and working out together!
