Craig Schattner is a documentary filmmaker based in Manhattan. His 6-part original series – Dated – was featured in the Washington Post and later became the first creative documentary project licensed by the media company. His short films have won awards and appeared in film festivals around the country.

Inna Koppel is the owner of Woodmere Fitness Club in Woodmere NY, the first Starting Strength Gym on Long Island.
Inna holds a degree in social work, a knowledge base she continually calls on in a multi-generational training milieu in which grandmothers train alongside daughters and granddaughters. Her primary area of expertise is in coaching women, ranging from teens to late-life, and including perinatal training, with a special interest in the frail elderly. Inna helped to implement- in collaboration with neuroscientists- the first controlled trial of strength training in the dementia population.
