Lisa ran and taught aerobics classes in 1997-98, but struggled with “Skinny Fat”. She discovered resistance training and more importantly, Right Nutrition in late 1998 which led her into the sport of Natural Body Building. She won awards in three shows and had the privilege of judging several shows her own. Lisa continues to run, cycle, lift weights 2-3 times a week and train as a cyclist to maintain a “toned” and functionally strong body at 53 years old. She founded Your Personal Best Training Studio in 1999, is a mother of two daughters and is helping others to achieve their personal best!

Interests Are: Sports Health and Fitness Nutrition How exercise can save lives Finding ways to motivate people Strength and agility exercises Dieting Neuromuscular training Fighting Obesity Juan says, even though most people do not like to exercise, just by doing a simple walk 30 mins a day can have positive changes in your life. People like to make all sorts of excuses for why not to workout but walking for 15 min around the block and 15 min back won’t kill or hurt anyone. Juan says he exercises because it helps him relieve stress and he actually enjoys working out. Now that he is working at YPB, he realizes that the toughest part for people is actually getting to the gym, but we know that once you are here we will do our best for you to achieve Your Personal Best!

Interests Are:  

Away from YPB, I work on growing my Norwex business and I enjoy gardening, reading, meeting with friends and book club members, doing (beginning) yoga, and creating pottery.  I always thought “throwing pottery” (on a wheel) looked like fun so I took a couple of classes last fall, and I fell in love with it.  I haven’t had much time to work on it since Christmas, but I plan to get back into it very soon to keep those creative juices flowing.

My husband and I love music and have been working our way through an (unwritten) “bucket list” of performers we want to see “live” before they stop touring.   In the last year, we’ve seen America, John Mellencamp/Carlene Carter/Emmylou Harris, (my all-time fav) James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Carole King’s show “Beautiful,” and Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie (of Fleetwood Mac).  Later this year, we’re going to see Diana Krall.

Cathy’s Strengths:

• Loves to learn; energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence.
• Has the ability to analyze information and approach things in a calm manner.
• Diplomatic and likes to communicate in an appropriate way.
• Can discuss issues tactfully while cultivating a friendly environment.
• Looks for ways to make things work without taking unnecessary risks.
