Fun Fact:
I’m a singer-songwriter, actress, and acoustic/electric guitarist. I was on an award winning Bollywood dance team. In addition, I’m a social media networker for shelter pets and an active animal rights supporter.
Why did you go into Personal Training?
From a young age, I realized that strength and a muscular appearance can build respect and confidence. Fitness has always been fun for me, and I have a passion for dance, weight training, and swimming. It’s incredibly rewarding to help people improve their body image, build strength, and enhance their confidence — whether by making daily activities easier or helping them achieve personal fitness goals.
Lori’s Success Stories
Mayra G.
Lori asked me about my fitness goals, essentially “my why,” and immediately knew which exercises, (and the training routine) I needed to meet my goals. She taught me exercises to focus on strengthening my body while also gaining flexibility and balance.I also loved that during my assessment appointments, I mentioned there where a couple of fitness machines I always wanted to try, and she reminded me at the end of my session that she could show me those, as well. Lori was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I should have scheduled these assessments with her two years ago when I first joined the gym. Now, I have a specific plan of action to follow, which will help me remain physically active as I age. Thank you, Lori!
Helen H.
Lori is an expert sports trainer who knows which moves improve your game and help you get fit, especially when it comes to core strength. She’s also very knowledgeable about the Power Plate, which helps with muscle soreness, recovery, and building muscle mass.
She’s flexible with scheduling, which many trainers aren’t, and is a great asset to the Center and to my fitness goals.
Sue A.
I met Lori when I first joined the gym, and it was my first time working with a Personal Trainer. I learned how to set a goal and safely perform exercises to stay active and healthy. When Lori found out that I played golf, she found exercises for arm toning and rotational flexibility that helped improve my golf game.
Melanie N.
I’ve been training with Lori twice a week for the past five months, and I greatly appreciate her guidance. As a 68-year-old woman working to regain flexibility, balance, and strength after years of being sedentary, I couldn’t be happier with her knowledge, patience, and support. She designs every session thoughtfully, and I feel stronger and more confident each time we meet.
Lori even sends me photos of her detailed session logs afterward—listing each exercise, the equipment used, and the sets, reps, and weights. It’s incredibly helpful for tracking my progress and for using as a reference when I work out on my own. Her attention to detail and gentle encouragement have made a tremendous difference, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their fitness in a safe and supportive environment. Thank you, Lori!
Edward B.
At over 80 years old, I’m not aiming to become a pro football player—but I do want to stay strong and healthy. I have lower back problems, and Lori designed a series of exercises to strengthen my back and improve flexibility without causing injury or discomfort. I’m very happy with the program she introduced me to and look forward to continuing to stay in shape with her guidance.
Anjana T.
Lori is kind, personable, and made me feel comfortable from the start. She listened to my challenges, recognized my strengths, and designed workouts that helped me build strength and stay motivated. Since training with her, I feel healthier, more confident, and inspired to keep improving my fitness. I’m so glad I had the chance to work with her—thank you, Lori!
Aditi P.
Lori is a fantastic trainer. She writes a personalized routine for every session and then guides me through the exercise, considering the areas I want to work on and my limitations. While I haven’t lost any weight, I have gained muscle, which is always a good sign.

I had the opportunity to work with Lori, who conducted an assessment and provided guidance on how to proceed effectively. Lori was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. She explained each step clearly, ensuring I understood the techniques and best practices. Her supportive and encouraging approach made the learning experience both comfortable and productive. I appreciate her expertise and highly recommend Lori to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated trainer.

Lori was so kind and accommodating of my needs! I’m a beginner at working out, so she ensured I understood everything. All of the workouts she gave me were carefully tailored to help me meet my needs, and she really pushed me to do my best.
