WHY work with me?
Hi, I’m Lori!
I am a licensed physical therapist, certified pilates instructor
and fitness coach with more than 30 years experience helping people move and feel better.
I’ve worked with patients and clients of all ages but my passion is in helping active adults get fit, stay fit and continue to participate (or participate again!) in activities they love.
I am a teacher, a guide, and a resource for those who want to find a better way to be fit FOR LIFE.
I am a cancer survivor. I am an optimist.
I am a mom and a wife, an animal lover and a loyal friend.
I am a traveler, an explorer and forever a student.
My purpose, my WHY, is to educate, inspire and empower people to lead active lives without pain and to move purposefully without fear. My WHY is to help you pursue yours.
What’s your WHY? Let’s talk about it!
Pilates Evolved provides virtual one on one and small group fitness instruction, as well as educational workshops and custom programs to clients from coast to coast.
I believe in embracing the opportunities and challenges that come with aging by applying both scientific principles and methods along with the latest research to enhance and maximize your potential.
I believe that for an exercise program to have a meaningful impact on your life it must be SAFE, EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT, CONVENIENT and FUN. I promise to deliver on all 5 counts!
