My name is Lisa - and I love to teach fitness! I am a NASM and AFAA certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I taught fitness many years ago (before children) then a lot of years went by . . . Five kids later, I knew I needed to get moving more so I could get rid of those pesky extra pounds the last couple of kids seemed to have left behind, and get my energy back. That was 14 years ago, when I discovered Zumba. That class changed my life! I realized that getting into shape didn't have to be so - boring!! Suddenly, it was something I looked forward to all day - and all week. It wasn't long before I decided to return to my first love of teaching fitness.
Here I am a decade, and over 40 certifications and licenses, later. Did I mention that I LOVE teaching fitness?! I teach lots of Zumba formats because I love dance so much, but I also specialize in senior fitness as well as mobility, balance and corrective exercise.
I have always loved teaching face to face, but have found the virtual world to be, not only convenient, but very freeing for lots of people. No judgement zone. I would love to get to work out with you!

Nothing works unless you do - but no one said it couldn't be fun!
Fun Facts:
I have a degree in music, so I sing in class all the time! Really - like, all the time.
I've moved a lot (20 times) but lived the longest in Ohio. Now that I've been in the south for over 7 years, I've picked up some of the accent and discovered that there are flying cockroaches here!
We have 3 dogs and 2 reptiles. The dogs occasionally make appearances in class. The reptiles have not . . . so far . . . but be sure to let me know if you see one.

Testimonials
I first started my journey toward fitness and better health about four years ago with a Zumba class taught by Lisa, and I have rarely missed her class since! She always finds ways to keep her classes fun and fresh, and you are guaranteed to get a great workout! Even during the pandemic, Lisa has found creative ways to keep us dancing safely, outside of the gym! She is simply the best!!! - Samantha C.
Want to have fun and get fit, too? With Lisa’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and well choreographed moves, you’ll look forward to working out! I’ve been taking a variety of in person and zoom classes with Lisa for over five years. I have achieved my personal fitness goals, and I feel great. - Paula G.
I have attended Lisa’s Silver Sneakers, Zumba Gold, and group personal training classes for the last five years. She is dedicated to helping you become better in your body, mind, and spirit. She has a gift for motivating and encouraging you to do your best, and to stay dedicated to the process. Besides her vast knowledge of fitness and nutrition, she was one of the first to step forward when the coronavirus locked everything down, and offered her services through online training; and she returned to on site training when it reopened. She’s there for you, because she cares! - Sally L.
