Personal Fitness Trainer & Longevity Lifestyle Coach
LISA NEWMAN
I am Lisa Newman, a passionate personal fitness and lifestyle longevity coach with over 35 years of experience in the health/fitness industry. I have a diverse background that has shaped my unique vision. I knew with the movement of the 90's, personal fitness training and coaching was going to be the next fitness trend. At that time, there was no interactive or virtual training movement like there is today.
My successful career came from experience as l embarked on my mission to encourage people to be healthy, more fit and be an inspiration to others in my health and fitness field.
My background as a collegiate scholarship athlete, a Miss Mississippi College pageant contestant, and jobs pre/post college that led me to be a Health Director, Corporate Wellness Specialist, Sport Medicine Physical Therapist Assistant, and Dietetic Technician/Consultant. These experiences forged my early stage entrepreneurial spirit.
In January 1992 at the age of 26, I started my fitness business PERFIT, Inc., the first personal fitness training incorporated business in Mississippi. While building my brand, I submitted fitness/health articles to the Northside Sun Newspaper/Magazine and wrote a health column for the Jackson, Mississippi Clarion Ledger Newspaper called PERFIT TRAINING TIPS. I demonstrated exercises with a purpose and plan for action to help all ages 9 to 97 for 6 years. I was a fitness model for several magazines and recognized as the best Personal Fitness Trainer by the Clarion Ledger in the metropolitan area.
My mission isn't just about exercise, eating well or weight loss; it's about a personal lifestyle awareness. I realized not everyone is or wants to train like an athlete, so 1 strive to help others develop and experience a feeling of accomplishment. I encourage clients to become more aware of their lifestyle of being healthy, fit and living well longer no matter the obstacles. A client could have different goals such as looking better, rehabilitating an injury, reducing stress, breathing better, staying strong, having better balance or just striving for longevity in feeling good as we get older. I address everything with a mind-body-energy connection that inspires each person to live their best LIFE.
I have enjoyed seeing the fitness industry trends ebb and flow, improving, and sometimes repeating fitness innovations. Today, we are within the new digital platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and other media enhancements.
These platforms did not exist when I was starting out, yet I have stayed current with these changes. While the majority of my business is one-on-one personal fitness and group training, I am expanding my health/fitness offerings into the online platform for Lifestyle Medicine focus to promote functional vitality and the Longevity movement.
I am more inspired to continue offering a variety of fitness training programs to my clientele and teaching group exercise/training classes.
Ibring over 35 years' experience in the fitness and health business that includes teaching Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, HYDROFIT, HITT Fitness, Cardiac Heart Health Conditioning, Sports/Performance, Stretch/Flexibility, Core work, Balance/Stability/ Alignment, Calisthenics, BodyStrength/BodySculpting and Longevity Classes.
As a Business Owner/ Trainer/Coach, I am always thinking of creative ways to make exercising feasible, beneficial and enjoyable. I am inspired to find collaborating business matches and clientele as I move froward in my life career.
