Lisa Mitchell NSCA-CPT, CNC

Fort Collins, CO

Philosophy: As a fitness professional, I believe that fitness instruction is more than counting repetitions and creating challenging workouts. As a trainer, my goal is to teach you how to make the right daily decisions about your nutrition and physical activity to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I believe that every person has different needs, and therefore requires a different fitness and nutrition program to obtain their personal goals. It is a fact that those who are not educated about fitness will never truly achieve fitness. My goal is to be there to educate and motivate you, enabling you to safely achieve all of your fitness goals. I truly believe that any person can improve their fitness level, regardless of limitations set forth by age, injury or illness with the right trainer and the proper knowledge.

Education: I am certified with the highly recommended National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and I am a graduate of the National Personal Training Institute, where I finished at the top of my class and also won the Award for Academic Achievement. At the Institute I completed 200 hours of practical training as well as becoming certified as a Nutrition Consultant. I studied and worked with many special populations, such as pre- and post- pregnancy, elderly population, injury re-habilitation and body building as well as classic elements such as weight loss, mass gaining, strength conditioning and periodization for specific athletic performance, to name a few.

Experience: Currently, I am training some highly specialized clients under multiple doctors’ supervision. One Client has a terminal illness, which through a combination of resistance training and nutrition counseling has made significant gains and has beaten his dismal prognosis of less than a year to live. I am extremely proud of our efforts and look forward to helping many people with different objectives. Whatever your objective we will team together to reach your goals.
