COACH LISA

IMG_7552 - Version 2

Lisa has been involved in the health and wellness industry since 1990, where she entered her first fitness competition at age 15 and it continued to develop into a passion for fitness/training/mentoring when she entered the US Army in 1993. Throughout school, independent leagues and the Army, Lisa was engaged with many genres of sports, but focused on softball, football, track/running marathons and weight training. While in the Army Lisa always exceeded fitness standards and lead by example as a Master Fitness Trainer.
Lisa’s tactical and technical proficiency propelled her towards hitting the stage again after retiring from the Army competing in 3 fitness/physique competitions, placing in all 3 shows, where she earned her Pro Card, 2nd place with SAF Federation (Serious About Fitness) in Ottawa, Canada; 3rd place Fitness Model with WBFF in Montreal, Canada and then she earned her NPC National qualifier status placing top positions in 5 different categories.
Lisa’s passion for addressing the mindset of an individual or athlete is key when training or mentoring and she believes this is what will separate the achievers/believers ahead of their respective peers. Lisa’s relentless pursuit of knowledge is evident by staying current with peer reviewed, research-based data in biomechanics, strength and conditioning, speed and agility and injury prevention and she applies these principles to her training/education. Lisa has been a Registered Nurse for 20 years specializing in Neuroscience, Women’s Health, Maternal/Newborn Health and as Nurse Case Manager for Army Warriors in Transition where her knowledge base of resiliency tactics and health/nutritional knowledge assisted soldiers physical and mental well-being. Her medical background, coupled with her fitness knowledge allows her to truly understand many comorbidities associated with barriers to wellness and fitness for any individual from novice to athlete.  
She and her husband Pete (Co-Owners of Tribute Training and Performance) are currently engaged with their expansion of personal training/strength coaching/powerlifting under the tutelage of Matt Wenning, MS, based out of Columbus, Ohio.  Lisa loves the connection of the brain and the body, and how they both are affected, created and formed by your mind (your thinking process).

    I am really interested in all that you offer, I want to change and improve my body, especially that I am in the military and it has been really hard for me to do pulls ups.
