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 bodybuilding. She won awards in three shows and was privileged to judge several bodybuilding shows.

Lisa continues to brisk walk/run, road cycle, mountain bike, lift weights 4 -5 times a week, jump rope, and lately, “Pickle Ball” to maintain a “toned” and functionally strong body at 62. Married to a retired pharmacist, John Wills, they recently purchased a home in Wimberley, TX, to spend more weekend time with grown daughters, Sarah Wright and Holly Maxwell.

Lisa founded Your Personal Best Training Studio in 1999 and specializes in helping people over 50 achieve their personal best!

Lisa’s Strengths:

• Relator: enjoys close relationships with others; takes satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.
• Strategic: exceptionally talented in creating alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, she can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues. 
• Learner:  desires to learn and make continuous improvements; gets excited by the learning process.
• Connectedness: has faith in the link among all things. Believes there are few coincidences and that almost every event has meaning. 
• Arranger: can organize but also has a flexibility that complements this ability. She likes to determine how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity.

Elite Fitness Professional at Your Personal Best Training Studio
Bachelor’s Degree from the University of North Texas with Two Master’s Degrees from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
FAS – Certified Functional Aging Specialist; AHA – CPR 
Certified Tai Chi Instructor; Certified E5 Collective Trainer

Specializing In: Group Training, HIIT Training, Progressing Beginning Clients, Strength and Cardio Circuits, Fun and Functional Training, Tai Chi

Interests Are:  

Away from YPB, I work on my Norwex business and spend time cooking, gardening, reading, walking, riding my bicycle, visiting with friends and book club members, and doing (beginning) yoga and various crafts, including mosaics, embroidery, and needlepoint.  I have many interests and like to keep my 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.   Before COVID stopped our plans, we saw several of our ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s favorites, including America, John Mellencamp/Carlene Carter/Emmylou Harris, (my all-time fav) James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, K.D. Lang, Carole King’s show “Beautiful,” Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie (formerly of Fleetwood Mac), Alison Krauss, and Diana Krall.  In the last two years, we’ve seen James Taylor again (did I mention he’s my all-time favorite?) with Jackson Browne, Diana Krall (again), The Chicks, Patty Griffin, and Alison Krauss (again) with Robert Plant.

In addition to the above, my life is focused on my husband, daughter, and son-in-law, who live in North Dakota with my two adorable grandbabies — Maggie, who is 2, and her brother Forrest, who was just born this past spring.  Unfortunately for me, my son-in-law’s military service keeps my babies WAY too far away for me to see them as often as I would like.  I am also actively involved in the care of my stepfather, and I love spending time with my three 4-legged babies (I think some people call them cats) and assisting with activities at my church.

Cathy’s Strengths:

• Intellection:  is introspective and appreciates intellectual discussions
• Deliberative:  takes serious care in making decisions and choices; anticipates the obstacles
• Responsibility:  takes psychological ownership of what she says she will do; values honesty and loyalty
• Individualization:  is intrigued with the unique qualities of each person
• Relator:  enjoys close relationships with others; takes satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal

Although my career path has primarily focused on leadership development and (boring) administrative duties, I always incorporate fun and friendliness to ensure that everyone around me has the best possible experience.

Therefore, I choose to put forth my best effort, have a positive attitude, and always respect others and their ideals.
