About Us

Lisa was born and raised in southern Minnesota.  She has two beautiful children, Lily and Noah.  They have a black lab mix named Coco, two cats, Carl and Goose, and a leopard gecko named Leo.  Lisa has been a fitness enthusiast for many years, trying everything from hot yoga to kickboxing. She fell in love with strength training when her and her children began training at a local gym.  After that gym changed hands, she felt the need to continue with the training style she loved.  Lisa opened Empowered Fitness in 2022 as a way to help others feel the empowerment she found through strength training. She has committed herself to providing a safe and loving environment for people to meet their fitness goals. She feels that her time in the gym has made her stronger, both physically and mentally, and feels that strength training has helped her face some of the challenges that life has thrown her way. Lisa is currently working on becoming certified as a personal trainer, certified nutrition specialist and a licensed health coach as a way to broaden her ability to help others and to share her love of fitness and nutrition.  When not in the gym, you can find her with her kids, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, kayaking or reading.
