LISA JEY is a veritable fitness buff. Not one for ‘drone’ exercises, after seriously pursuing ice skating for nine years she began the search for fun activities that enhanced her body and provided long-lasting benefits she could see and feel. When her second child was born, Lisa was determined to get back into shape quickly and took up mat Pilates and yoga. She loved the core strengthening and muscle lengthening so much that in 2005 Lisa completed Yoga Teacher Training, and taught a combination of Lyengar and Hatha yoga at Colorado’s renowned Aspen Club & Day Spa. Adding hiking and sport/ traditional rock climbing to her routine provided a good fitness balance, but the time commitment was cumbersome. When she moved back to LA, she was thrilled to discover SPX Fitness! Finally, a total body workout that strengthened her core, burned the fat and lengthened her muscles in a concentrated 50 minutes – all to music! At first opportunity, she became an SPX certified trainer. Lisa’s highest priority is to provide a challenging, fat-burning, body-sculpting workout her clients enjoy.
