About Personal Trainer Lisa:
Growing up as an athlete in an athletic
family, I started ballet and tap dancing when I was only four years old, and
gymnastics at age seven. I also ran track (100 and 200 meters and long jump),
going to the AAU Regionals at age 12, and competed in the Empire State Games in
diving when I was 13.
Though actually a better diver than gymnast, gymnastics was my passion. At age
15, already focused on going to college on a gymnastics scholarship, I moved two
hours from home to live with my coach and go to a great school. It was a
tremendous experience.
I did very well competing while in high school, but the demands of the sport put
a strain on my body: in three years I tore my hamstring, tore the ACL in my
knee, and broke my arm. But with aggressive rehab and perseverance I was able to
recover and earn a scholarship to Radford.
In college, I made the best of friends and had the time of my life competing.
Plagued with injuries again, I had surgery to mend my broken arm, but still
worked out every day- running, stair machines, weights, gymnastics- while
wearing a full arm cast!
At the end of my freshman year I returned to competition. Radford was invited to
the NIT where I placed on balance beam and received All-American honors. During
my sophomore year, I injured my right knee again, had orthroscopic surgery
first, then another ACL reconstructive. I red shirted my junior year. In my
senior year I reinjured my knee again, so I was given a medical scholarship and
became the team's Assistant Coach and strength and conditioning coach, while
also interning at Virginia Tech's Weight Club.
About this time I saw a fitness
competition on television, and with encouragement and support from the people at
my gym, I decided that this was something I wanted to do.
Graduating Radford with a B.S. in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology, I
enrolled as a graduate student in nutrition and exercise physiology at Illinois
State. That year I placed fifth in my first fitness competition and learned what
I needed to do to improve.
After graduating Illinois State with a Masters of Science degree in Exercise
Physiology, I accepted an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach position at
the U.S. Naval Academy- the first female ever to hold that position. The
environment and athletes were unbelievably wonderful. Opportunities continued to
present themselves and in 1998 I became a Strength and Conditioning Coordinator
for the University of Florida Gators women's athletic teams.
In the summer of 2000, I won the Mid-Florida Muscle Classic, the Jan Tana
overall, and my height class at USA Nationals. Winning at the Nationals gave me
professional status, and I was ecstatic that I had earned my pro card so
quickly.
In 2001 tennis season I was called upon to be Monica Seles' performance coach,
handling everything from her nutrition to fitness training on the road and at
home. As you can imagine, the experience was phenomenal!
Finding an opportunity, I became the Director of Strength and Conditioning at
the National Cathedral School in Washington, DC, and began to train at Gold's
Gym in Arlington, VA. My current goal is to continue doing my best in my fitness
careers.

Testimonials:

of Lisa Reed. During the time she worked with our program, our team not only won
four SEC Championships we went all four years without dropping a single match in
the league."
-Mary Wise
Head Volleyball Coach
University of Florida
"Lisa will give you the training and nutritional tools to achieve the pinnacle
of athletic and physique success!"
-Jose Antonio, Ph.D. CEO,
International Society of Sports Nutrition
"As a high school Athletic Director I look for extremely qualified and
motivational instructors for my student-athletes, Lisa Reed fits the bill 10
times over!"
-Jimmy Sanabria
Director of Student Activities
Centreville High School
"Lisa Reed has a work ethic that is second to none. She's extremely passionate
and her positive attitude is very infectious; she's an exceptional person that I
have a tremendous amount of respect for!"
-Dave Balogh
Associate Head Coach
University of Florida Womens Tennis
"In trade magazines, Lisa is credited with being a major force in pro tennis
player Monica Seles’ comeback. I attribute my improved body image and healthy
lifestyle to Lisa.
One year ago, I admitted to myself that I was 12 pounds over weight (expanding
slowly year-by-year), had minimal muscle tone (despite the many aerobics classes
I had taken over the years), and was feeling slightly winded after walking up a
flight of stairs. Needless to say, I did not like the situation. However, I was
not about to give-in to being overweight with the concomitant health conditions
common to middle-aged American women.
Last August, I placed third in the Southern States Masters’ Figure Competition
(50+ years old), which entailed my walking on stage and posing in a two-piece
sequined costume to display my toned physique! I barely recognized myself in the
photographs taken at that event. What a difference from where I was the year
before.
Lisa worked with me on a weekly basis both training my muscles and teaching me
about nutrition and its importance in building muscle. Lisa’s knowledge of the
science and research underpinning her field is outstanding. Her combination of
didactic learning (Masters in Science) and many years of hands-on experience
(national title contender and professional gymnast) has not only opened my eyes
to the professional aspects her sport but more importantly, has made her
nationally renowned in her field as a personal trainer and nutritionist."
-Dr. Camille Barry
Beeren & Barry Investments, L.L.C
"I was elated to hear of Lisa Reed’s appointment as the Director of Strength &
Conditioning at the National Cathedral School in Washington, D.C. I have known
Lisa since 2000 have admired her desired to not only challenge herself to become
an excellent athlete but her ability to bring out the best in people around her.
The students of this school will surely benefit from her knowledge and past
experience. Hopefully one day, some of her athletes will compete in our
organization, The Women’s Tri-Fitness, to challenge themselves the same way as
Coach Reed."
-Al Rosen
President of Women’s Tri-Fitness

supportive, directed, and creative athletic/conditioning coach to date. I love
new challenges and Lisa is full of them! Lisa has that rare ability to not only

enhance my workout pleasure."
-Harriet Scheuermann

weights which I was hesitate about doing. She helped me make working out fun and
enjoyable! She would send me emails and and call to see how my workouts were
going to make sure I was on track. She is a phenomenal trainer and is always so
positive!"
-Lauren Epperly

nutrition will become part of your life."
-Elizabeth Mullen

When I was finally sick and tired of being sick and tired, Lisa was there to
teach me to eat properly, get and stay fit, and build the body I wanted. Her
combination of personal example, motivation and encouragement, and simple,
consistent training techniques restored my health and literally changed the way
I live. More than 60 pounds off in just over a year and building muscles I
thought were gone forever. Lisa taught me to achieve, not dream!

"Not only did Lisa help me to achieve fitness for competition in high school,
she also showed me how wonderful it feels to always be in shape. In the NCS
Weight Room, she showed us all the importance of exercise by patiently helping
us to achieve our fitness goals, which ultimately helped our team to perform at
its best. Although I no longer compete in college, I attribute my desire to be
fit to Lisa's training. Her self-motivation is contagious. She constantly sends
me workouts that make going to the gym fun. She is the perfect prevention from
the freshman fifteen!"
-Ashley Speights
National Cathedral School 2004
University of Virginia
"I have known Lisa for 10 years, as a friend and colleague and you will not find
anyone more passionate about training and leading a fit and healthy lifestyle.

our college-bound athletes a jump start in their preparation for intercollegiate
competition. I miss her upbeat, positive attitude!

Lisa Reed is a fabulous teacher of fitness. She made significant improvements in
the technical aspects of weight lifting with my oarsmen. I believe that we got
faster on the water due to her skills as an instructor in the weight room. Lisa
is also a great resource for training ideas especially in developing core
circuits and creative ways of make exercise fun and safe.
-Ted Haley

"No doubt about it, Lisa Reed is one of the nation's most gifted personal
trainers. Her depth of knowledge of physiology, kinesiology, diet/nutrition and
general health is unsurpassed. After a three year hiatus from working out and
healthy living; Lisa geared me up to be in peak shape at 41. I have never felt
better or looked better and I am having a great time doing it. Inspiring is the
word to describe Lisa and I am truly grateful to call her a friend. When I need
that occasional pick up Lisa is always there and she knows just how to motivate
me. Thanks, Lisa... you're the best!
--George McConnel"
Dear Lisa:
It gives me great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for you. As you
may recall, Wren Cooper and I showed up at the NCS gym--both of us over the age
of 75--totally out of shape, but willing to put ourselves in your capable hands.
She had been retired for ten years; I was about to retire, but both of us were
happy to use the NCS facilities as one of the perquisites of former faculty.
Wren and I were particularly delighted to see the individual care you lavished
on us both. Our programs were somewhat different because of previous injuries;
however, we were able to work side by side, which was enjoyable, and to
encourage one another. At all times you kept an eye on what we were doing and
set a pace which was appropriate to our physical abilities. Your lively sense of
humor and good-natured banter was a plus in a situation which could have been
monotonous. By the time you left NCS my blood pressure had fallen to 124/68 and
my combined cholesterol number was 190. Not bad for an old lady!
Both of us are indeed grateful for all of your patient attention to us and wish
you well in all of your future endeavors.
-Ruth Ann Williamson (Mrs. David, Jr.)
Bethesda, MD
While I've always enjoyed exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I was
stuck in a rut and was not seeing results. Once I began boot camp group sessions
and then periodic strength training sessions with Lisa, I found a renewed
excitement for working out and challenging myself to work harder. I definitely
saw results, which was reaffirmed by family and friends and gave me additional
motivation to try new exercises and approaches to working out.
Lisa is awesome -- she motivates you, pushes you to work harder, and is positive
at all times. She listens to your goals and then works with you to help you
reach them. And most importantly, you have fun, which makes you excited to be
healthy. Lisa also emphasizes how being healthy is working out and nutrition,
and finding a realistic balance that will work with your lifestyle and patterns.
She is the best!
-Lindy Mochovak
"Give the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you."
