Lori started her journey into to the fitness and health industry at the young age of 14. She enrolled in the local YMCA fitness instructor program and began leading her own classes before her 15th birthday!!! Being in front of large groups and sharing her energy was her passion from the start. “I enjoyed being the one to motivate, the one to help others have fun and see results,” says Lori. “Having someone come up to me and tell me their fitness successes is why I do what I do”.

A few years later, Lori FOUND the weight room, and never looked back. “I saw my own body transform before my eyes by lifting weights and being STRONG.” “I loved the definition and was hooked.” 

In 1999, Lori began competing in local fitness competitions.  She switched her category to figure (a physique based round) in 2004.  “I love seeing how far I can push myself and my body – the changes I can make and the tweaks that I can attain.”  Her ultimate goal used to be the infamous pro card status; now she just wants to inspire others to set goals out of their reach and then attain them. “If you put your mind to it, you can do it!!!”  Her favourite quote is “Reach for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”, by Les Brown.  “It’s the quote I live my life by, showing that no dream is too big and no goal is unattainable. if you dream big, you will succeed in some way, maybe not the highest goal that you set, but the smaller ones along the way.”

“I don’t believe in excuses ... too busy, too tired, too old ... nothing can stand in your way of being your very best!!” Lori gained over 70 lbs in both of her pregnancies ... and lost it!!! “It was not easy, and I did not feel good about myself. I was a sleep deprived, a tired new mom, trying to work, balance my mothering duties and housework, AND lose this weight!! I set my mind to a goal, achieved it and never looked back. “

Lori believes that time is too precious to be wasting it spending hours in the gym. ”Working out of your comfort zone is the only way to see results and this can only be done by having a trainer next to you pushing you all the way!”

Fitness has been and always will be Lori's way of life, and she enjoys helping others feel and look better than ever!  Let Lori help you be the best you can be!!
