Lisa Reed

I’ve been a LRF client for about eight years. I began as a a boot-camp client; then was part of two-person share, training a gym; now I’m a one-on-one Zoom personal-training client. After all these years, I’m blown away every session by the quality and energy and personal touch of Lisa's training experience.  The foundation of Lisa’s service is technical acumen and science-based knowledge of the human body, sports and movement, and injury recovery. She has an advanced degree in this and has worked with professional athletes and Division-1 collegiate athletes in a myriad of sports. She herself is a champion competitor in gymnastics and body-building. She knows how to transform the human body and get results, whether it’s general fitness, recovery, mobility, cardiovascular, slimming down or getting cut. She is an encyclopedia of weights, stretches, equipment, and movement.  Beyond the foundation of knowledge, the magic of Lisa is her energy, spirit, and the genuine personal care she devotes to each client. In and out of the gym, she is naturally boundless, inexhaustible, and up for anything. She is always positive; and your success, no matter how small, is her success. She wants to know you and cheer for you and see you reach goals. She is infectious and inspirational. She’s also entirely nonjudgemental and will meet you where you are. I’m not a natural athlete. Lisa still corrects my form even after eight years. She is demanding, but versatile and flexible. Injury prevention and recovery is a hallmark of her service. Her body is perfect, obviously, but she works to help clients achieve health, strength, and whatever their own goals may be—not a preconceived idea of trendy fitness. Finally, Lisa is the consummate professional. She’s never late, rarely sick, and and will work with my schedule if I need to switch around for a different session. She’s fun and chatty but all-business when we’re in the gym. I can’t say enough about my experience with Lisa! 10/10 highly recommend!

What can I say about Lisa, she has exceeded all of my expectations! I have been very physically active for many years, however, after giving birth I knew I needed some help getting back in shape safely. So thankful we found Lisa! She is so knowledgeable and her workouts are amazing. I trained with her from November 2022 to March 2023, 3 times per week. I saw results very quickly and now I feel more fit than ever before. She always listened to my goals and tailored the workouts accordingly. Her knowledge and experience post partum was invaluable to me, she was very attentive and careful in training my core. A couple of times due to babysitting issues she had to improvise on the spot and include my baby into our workouts… yes she is that good, she can change things on the fly even with a newborn! Currently, I don’t work out with her in person. My husband and I have started doing her customized workout plans and so far we are also loving it! She checks on us periodically and can modify things if needed. Lisa genuinely cares about her client’s success and only gives positive reinforcement. Lisa became more than just my trainer, I now consider her a friend.

I love working out with Lisa, it keeps me accountable and I never say I don’t have the time. I make the time because my health is a priority. I always tell myself that in order to take care of my family, I have to take care of myself first and I try my best to not feel guilty for wanting and needing ME time. Lastly, if you work with a trainer pick someone who is high energy. Lisa is so positive and her energy is contagious. When I was nearing the end of my pregnancy and not really wanting to move at all, I fed off of her energy. I still do. Chasing a toddler and having weird sleep patterns with an infant wears on me, but working with someone as upbeat and happy as Lisa is motivating and inspiring.

I have been training with Lisa twice a week for over a year now and she is FABULOUS! As a former dancer, I had never done "fitness" activities before, and had never had a personal trainer, so I was a bit apprehensive at first. I've had a wonderful experience! Over the last year (after a physically challenging pregnancy and a few surgeries) she has helped me regain my strength, my shape and my confidence. She developed a program that was tailored to my specific issues and helped me (re)create the lean/long muscle ballet build that I wanted. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Our program made huge strides in all areas of conditioning under the direction of Lisa Reed. During the time she worked with our program, our team not only won four SEC Championships we went all four years without dropping a single match in the league.”

My name is Monica Seles and I used to play professional tennis and reached the top of my sport. Through the game of tennis is how I met Lisa. I have known her for almost 20 years.  I can’t speak highly enough of Lisa and to be transparent she has not asked me to write this letter but I offered as I think is an awesome person, best trainer ever, very confidential and one of the hardest working person I know. Lisa’s proven training method’s won me many tennis titles in my career but also the tools she thought me have stayed with me in my workouts, nutrition which to me is just as valuable as all my titles. Her positive attitude has helped me tremendously as they were days when I wasn’t the most motivated person showing up for workouts but her positive energy changed my attitude.  One thing that I always admired about Lisa is that she leads by example. She is a great team member and all my fellow team members really enjoyed working with her and the environment she created. I`m so happy that Lisa has moved to gorgeous Southwest Florida as a Floridian myself.
