I'm a bit of a fitness nut.  I was involved in gymnastic as a kid, rowing crew as a teenager and then melted into the Jane Fonda cardio craze during college.  I became a fitness professional in 1997 when I became a certified personal trainer and started practicing first on my friends and then on paying clients. 

I was lucky in that in 1998 I found my calling with Pilates.  The two week training seminar for mat Pilates that I took in Toronto I still refer to as my epiphany.  This is just what I am supposed to do.  I dove into the rest of my certification finishing all 500 hours and memorizing over 650 different exercises! 

I own Modern Pilates studio now in Brookline, MA and my studio works with over 150 men and women per week.  We have found that steady, focused goals produce the best results for our clients whether it's some as dramatic as recovering from surgery or as gratifying as fitting into those skinny jeans.

I started a fitness blog in 2008 and I am the coach of the Thin by Ten project at Blogher.  You can almost always find me on twitter @lisajohnson.
