Lisa is knowledgeable, motivating, energetic, and cares. She began with a thorough individual assessment and created a plan personal to me. In 3 months my cholesterol dropped 43 points. I've been continually losing inches and weight (20 lbs. at 6 months.) I had to post after last night the 3rd person shared that my visual results motivated them to act on their personal health. Her mentioning my arm definition was a feel good bonus. I believed in Lisa and it's working! read more

Lisa is professional, energetic, and always has a creative plan for you. Her personal indoor gym is small yet has all of the right equipment to provide you with a full body workout, Lisa is very knowledgeable about health, diet and fitness and makes you look forward to working out.

Lisa is an absolute great trainer. She has over 30+ years of experience and knowledge. After I contacted her she had me come over to her place to do a self assessment. She asked what my goals were and made an attention to detail plan specific for me. A lot of personal trainers have a cookie cutter plan but not Lisa. Her plan for me was very attention to detail. She can also make a meal plan for you as well as she is also a dietitian. Lisa always has a bubbly personality and has the best playlist to workout to. I've even added a few of her songs to my playlist. She pushed me to my max and beyond and I'm truly thankful for that. It helped me reach new level as far as weight lifting and made me truly realize what I can capable of.

TLDR: -Lisa is a personal trainer that cares. -Can accommodate injuries. -I lost roughly 50 pounds working with her over the course of a year. -I am in the best shape of my life and it is because of her -Incredibly knowledgeable. -Awesome teacher. -Fun to be around. -If you are wanting to get into bodybuilding or already are, she is someone --you want in your corner she can help get you to that next level. -Also she has an incredibly well behaved and adorable dog. Lisa is a very caring and passionate person. There are many times where I will feel completely unmotivated to work out but I show up and feel like a million dollars by the end because of the incredible workout she put together as well as her amazing energy. Another point of note is her creativity because she is passionate about what she does. There are many times she will come to me with a new workout idea she wants to try and absolutely kicks my butt. Another amazing thing she does is roughly every 4 to 6 weeks she will come up with a new interesting custom workout. This helps greatly because I have found I get less bored of working out, as well this is great because it helps challenge your body in different ways while still targeting the body parts you want. She is incredibly knowledgeable about form and how to get the most out of your workout. Something that matters a lot to me is that she can accommodate injuries. I have dislocated multiple times and have issues with my shoulder. With her expertise I have less issues with my shoulder. Now I am at the point where it's stronger than it was before. Because of what she has taught me I am starting to teach my friends how to workout better and get more out of it. The last little bit I have to say is I will be moving soon and Lisa will be my gold standard personal trainer to compare all others to. Honestly I am worried I wont find a trainer as good as her again. Part of the reason for that is I have worked out with Lisa for 3+ years. I feel like that should say a lot. read more

I have gone to other personal trainers in the past, but never got these results. She designs a personal workout for each client to accommodate physical limitations. The workouts change every month or so to keep your muscles guessing and you interested. No need to look further, Lisa is the real deal! read more

I LOVE Lisa! I've been through a few trainers, and Lisa is the BEST trainer I've had. She customized my workouts to fit my needs/goals. She's the most informative trainer I've ever known and always takes time to answer my questions. After taking my measurements/body fat, she gave me my caloric and MACROS numbers, which is probably the BEST tool I've used in my fitness journey. This month I only did 2 days a week with Lisa and the rest in the gym. In this one month I've lost 9.8 lbs and 3% body fat. I've learned so much from her and can't wait to train with her again. I just wish I'd have found her sooner instead of wasting my time and money on a fitness boot camp that didn't work. I DEFINITELY recommend Lisa as a PT. read more

I LOVE Lisa!!! I have always been blessed without any weight issues and can eat whatever I want not having to worry about my weight. That is the case until I hit my 50's. My metabolism totally changed and I started gaining weight, especially in the tummy area. I have never had a workout routine and have no clue how to even start at the gym. Figured I may need the help of a one on one personal trainer. Luckily I found Lisa on Yelp. I have been with Lisa for a little over 2 months now and have lost 6.6 lbs so far (was at 121 lbs). I can now fit a lot of my favorite dresses that I was unable to wear in the past year. My tummy has shrunk significantly. It was a lot of hard work, but I am loving the results! Thank you Lisa! P.S. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels ! read more

Going Beyond Personal Training By Lisa - So happy to fit a dress that was way too tight for me a year ago. - Trainers Near Me - Sacramento, California

From the moment I spoke to Lisa on the phone and met her in person, she has been professional and is very knowledgeable about training and nutrition. I have been to personal trainers in the past, however, Lisa has exceeded my expectations of a personal trainer. She takes time to hear your goals and shares how to accomplish your goals. Lisa is the best cheerleader and she wants to see you meet your goals. Before meeting Lisa, I was struggling to workout and being motivated. Once I worked out with Lisa, I enjoyed every session, even the hard ones. Due to a surgery, I had to pause my sessions but hoping to start back up when I am cleared. read more

Lisa is amazing!! She worked with my hubby and I and we loved every minute of it.. She switched up our workouts so we wouldn't get bored.. She is also very educated and experience in what she does.. Her stretches and warm ups are the best stress reliever!! I highly recommend her and have referred a lot of people that have trained with her and love her as well!! Whatever your goals, she can get you there!! read more

I'm so happy I found Lisa! She's super knowledgeable, motivating, and her workouts cater specifically to the individual. What I love about Lisa the most is she takes the time to explain the workouts to me. She makes sure that I am engaging the correct muscles throughout my workout and teaches me how to use the equipment properly. She gives me confidence to know what to do at the gym when she's not around. I feel so much stronger and healthier. Thank you Lisa for always challenging me and enforcing my goals when I am unmotivated. I have lost inches all around my body and I know I will achieve my goals. If you want a personable trainer who is passionate about fitness and nutrition, Lisa will definitely not disappoint! read more

Lisa is truly a "personal" trainer that works on what I need and want while considering my limitations. I have been with Lisa several years now.

Going Beyond Personal Training By Lisa - Before and after Lisa shots - Trainers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Lisa is amazing and has an enthusiastic personality! I started with Lisa for about four months now and I got to say it's been the best decision I have made for myself. With her encouragement, I am able to change my life around and focusing more on myself. She works with you one on one and makes sure you have the correct form. She also changes the workout to fit your own body type. If you have any personal injuries, she will adjust equipment and worked outs to make sure you are not in any pain. She is the best and I highly recommend her to everybody! read more

If you need a personal trainer that is knowledgeable, committed, energetic and certified to help you meet your fitness goals, I would recommend Lisa Smith. When Lisa creates a workout plan for you, it is unique only to you. It is a work of aesthetic art to get you to your goals. She operates her personal training from her home so you get all her undivided and careful attention. No more worries for waiting on a gym equipment. No more worries on people watching you. No distractions. I have trained with Lisa in the past and was bodybuilding contest ready for two shows. I looked great and felt great. I had the six pack abs!!!!!! I even trained with Lisa during my whole pregnancy (with doctor's approval). She is also certified for Pre and Post Natal Fitness. I was able to get my body back after training with her consistently for 8 months. I would highly recommend Lisa. Her prices are affordable. She is passionate and takes pride in her profession as a personal trainer. Lisa definitely will motivate you to keep at and meet your fitness goals! You put in the work and eventually you will see the results! read more

Lisa is amazing! I was looking for a trainer that understands how it feels to be over fifty and still committed to fitness. Lisa meets and exceeds that criteria. She quickly assessed areas that I need to work on -- identifying areas of weakness in my body and writing a plan to strengthen them. Lisa created custom workouts that both challenge me in the gym and make me look good! She also helps with nutrition and holds you accountable with those pesky weigh ins! If you want results and positive energy give Lisa a try. read more

I love Lisa she truly goes beyond personal training I'm seeing results and couldn't be happier

There are no words to really describe how amazing Lisa truly is! Lisa is the first personal trainer I've ever had, and honestly I don't think I could ever go anywhere else. When I decided to make that first call and give Lisa a try, I was super nervous, because it had been a while since I worked out, and I was really out of shape. I have now been training with her for about 5 months, and the differences between now and that first day I started with her are ridiculous. Other than losing weight, and becoming stronger than I've probably ever been, I'm starting to feel good about myself. And the amazing thing about Lisa is that she creates a workout plan that is perfect for you, and she's constantly changing it as you get stronger. She will definitely push you to your limits, but she does so in a way where you want to go even further. Anyways, I could probably write a whole book about Lisa, but I honestly think that you have to experience her firsthand to really understand where I'm getting at. If I could give her a 10/5, I would! read more

First of all, this review is loooong overdue! About two years ago I was desperate to find someone to help me get back into shape after my four pregnancies. I lacked motivation, I was unhappy and I was stuck in an endless loop. Lisa was literally a God send. I was a unique client because I had a terrible case of diastasis recti. Lisa was extremely patient with me and helped me lose weight safely. She even helped me close the ab gap as I went from a 4 to a 1.5. If you have Diastasis Recti, you know what that means! Not only was Lisa amazing at her job, but she was actually affordable. She was a terrific motivator. She was funny, sweet, and I was so sad to have to stop seeing her. She is the reason why I was able to play soccer again and I am forever grateful! Thank you, Lisa!! read more

I'm so thankful to Lisa. I see how important it is now to do weight lifting correctly. Since I've started training with her my back problems are next to nothing. That's not all. My love for life improved dramatically. 2yrs with The best weight trainer in town and I'm more than grateful. Lisa, loves her job and cares for her clients. I feel it and see it. Thank you, Rosalinda R. This last post was from a couple of years ago and with her trainings I have been able to keep my back strong. It's a way of life now. Learning to lift correctly is a must to stay pain free. read more

I am so glad I found Lisa. I didn't know what to expect on my consultation with Lisa. I was so impress when I went to her house where the gym was at. The setup was very organize, safe, and clean. Lisa keeps her equipments clean and she sanitizes them after every use. I was with her for 1.5 months and I was able to reach my personal goal. Lisa drafted a plan to my goal with the nutrition part and the activities. Her plan is thorough and easy to follow. Most of all Lisa has so much patience. I never lifted weights before so this was new to me. I didn't understand a lot of the terms she used and she was so patient to explain each and every one of them to me at every session. On what muscles/body part each weight benefits. I will be back once my new schedule is settle. read more

Lisa is truly my favorite personal trainer. She understands what's important to me and builds a custom training program designed for me. She is compassionate and understanding and always upbeat.

You will her results if you follow her plan. read more

Lisa is the best thing to ever happen to me. I have been with her for almost 6 months and I am obsessed! I work with her 5x a week to lean out, shape up and feel amazing. I have tried so many gyms, so many studios and different workout programs and none of it has made the difference I wanted to see in the mirror. Lisa knows exactly how to adapt my training to my needs. Last week we took my 6 week measurements and I lost an inch in my waist and an inch in my thighs! It is very exciting! She is worth every penny. I highly reccomend! read more

Ok let me begin by saying Lisa is just amazing! You can see her passion in what she does and loves to share her knowledge with you. She makes sure that you learn how to be safe and be able to do the workouts when she's not around to correct you! Best part is she defines personal training! Everything is catered to your individual needs. I have tried literally everything and failed she has decoded what works just for me.

I started going to Lisa for a month, 3x/week, and noticed an immediate change in myself. Under her guidance, I lost weight and got toned, became stronger, and started making healthier food choices. I've worked with other personal trainers before, but none of them knew as much as Lisa did about nutrition and customized workout plans that catered to my specific needs. She's been able to challenge and encourage me to do better in a safe, clean space where I wouldn't have to worry about being judged or feeling awkward. She's also really passionate, cares about the health and success of her clients, and puts in her all. I always look forward to coming to her sessions. read more

I recently went for my annual mammogram with the same technician I've had for several years post breast cancer and multiple surgeries. She said as I was leaving, "Wow you've been training! Your arms are firm and your chest is so much leaner. It was easier for me to do your mammogram. I didn't need to adjust you much. Keep up the good work! Who is this trainer?! Thanks Lisa Girl!! I hate coming but you make me laugh and clearly "something is happening!!!" read more

Lisa is amazing! I was looking for a personal trainer who would help me tone my butts and thighs specifically. She created custom workouts for me and showed me the importance of stretching. She also guided me to eat right and in a right way to keep my weight off. By the end of my training I was down to size 6 from 10 for my pants. I enjoyed every session with her. It wasn't just about exercising, we talked and laughed through out our work out sessions. It was great fun! I strongly recommend Lisa to everyone and anyone looking for highly knowledgeable trainer to bring out the best in you. Love love love to her read more

Lisa is incredible! If you want someone who knows how to get results and genuinely cares, Lisa is the right choice. I have been with Lisa a little over a month now. She knows her stuff inside and out and she will push you hard in a good way. She individualizes the workouts just for you. Because of my unique situation, Lisa put in a lot of extra hours building the design for my workouts. She does her homework and does her due diligence. It is personal training with a truly individualized and caring approach. She is your biggest cheerleader while not being afraid to kick your butt and help push your limits. I have been in and out of the gym for well over 30 years, but I am seeing that Lisa was the missing piece I have needed to keep motivated and reach my goals.
