From HIIT classes to strength coach: Lori's story
Elite Fitness Hawaii · Oct 19, 2026 · 4 min read

For years, Lori did what a lot of busy people do: HIIT-style classes. They were hard, they were sweaty, and they didn't quite deliver the results she was hoping for.
So in her late 30s she tried something different. She started lifting weights.
Why it clicked
Strength training gave her something classes never did: clear progress. The weights went up. She felt stronger, more confident, and found a passion for fitness she hadn't felt before.
It's never too late to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident.
Coaching from experience
As a mom of two who spent most of her career in an office, Lori knows how overwhelming walking into a gym can feel. That's the starting point for how she coaches:
- Start at your own pace and build from there
- Blend strength work with cardio, flexibility and mobility
- Pay attention to nutrition and mental well-being, not just the workout
- Build habits that last beyond the first month
