Lisa O'Brien

I am a 24 year old from Pottstown, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Slippery Rock University (SRU) in August 2008 as class valedictorian where I double majored in exercise science and dance; it was through my experiences at SRU when I discovered my nitch in teaching fitness. I possess a great passion for sharing my expertise with others and guiding them toward a healthier lifestyle. I have been teaching fitness classes since 2006, at one point, up to 15 classes per week. Currently, I am a personal trainer at LA Fitness, teach yoga at my medical school and with a martial arts organization, and Zumba at another facility. Additionally, I am in training for my third season of figure competition. In August 2009, I began my journey toward becoming an osteopathic physician at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, likely within the primary care sports medicine specialty.
