    Hello Everyone, I wrote a post earlier this week about Jillian Michaels and her affiliate marketing program.  She gives commissions of 70 to 90% and I was appalled at what that meant for the quality of the products ... I got a response from the COO of the distribution company that Jillian works with last night and I've created a new post to discuss her credentials and her image as a fitness expert.  I'd love some comments about either post and what you think of celebrity endorsements for products that you hope to lose weight with.    Read more >

    Hi everybody,  I just wrote a post about kids watching TV after I started reading Michelle Obama's 70 point guidelines for reducing childhood obesity.  She is using the American Academy of Pediatricians' Guidelines.  They have several suggestions and I have a question for all of you ...  Did you ever discuss screen time with your pediatrician?  I haven't ...  Lisa  http://www.lisajohnsonfitness.com/how-much-screen-time-for-kids/  Lisa Johnson  Read more >

    I'm pretty upset by what I just found out.  The School Board for Cabell County (home of Huntington, WV and where Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution was shot) interviewed all their School Board members today about continuing to implement the Food Revolution program.  Guess what?  Most of them were hemming and hawing and don't want to do it!  Please read my post and tweet or Facebook or whatever else to get it out there.   I'm pretty furious!   Thanks,  Lisa   Read more >

    I wrote this post after someone showed me a link.  It was appalling how much fat they layer into these dishes.  There truly is a science behind how "Big Food" gets us to each this stuff.  http://www.lisajohnsonfitness.com/this-is-why-youre-fat-cheesecake-facto... Lisa Johnson http://lisajohnsonfitness.comhttp://www.ThinBy10.com    Read more >

    I've been talking a lot with fitness professionals on Twitter about what *makes* a fitness professional.  We see many examples on TV and most of us who work in the industry cringe at what they're doing with clients.  So I wrote this post to point out the cliches and the lack of education.  These are the people we turn to for advice and well, we shouldn't ...  http://www.lisajohnsonfitness.com/the-3-worst-kinds-of-fitness-pros/   Read more >

About Me: 

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.
