Lori Laviolette

Hello- I am a veteran fitness professional seeking the exciting opportunity to work with people in other locations. I have been very successful, on a local level with my classes, personal training and health clubs. I started at the young age of 17 teaching aerobics and paid my way through college teaching and ultimately owning and managing health clubs. This enabled me to complete my undergraduate degree in exercise science and health education. I continued to build my personal training business and teaching career by operating small studios in the early 90's. I was hired by Tufts University to work on a ground breaking study focusing on strength training on women over the age of 70. I worked with Dr. Maria Fiatarone and Dr. Miriam Nelson, pioneers in strength training and aging. I am published with both Tufts and Harvard University for our work. I pursued my graduate degree in counseling psychology. I continue to work in a General Manager capacity for MediFit. My passion remains and will always be group exercise. I still teach and would love the opportunity to teach to a wider audience.
