I am Lori and I am so glad you are here! 

 

I am a Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Nutrition Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and a Certfiied Adaptive Personal Trainer through Special Strong. The majority of my free time consists of the gym, my two great kids, and spending time with my fiance, Sheldon and his sons. 2AFit became a reality in early 2024 when Sheldon and I decided to help make fitness solutions more accessible and inclusive. 

 

In 2012, my son was born and diagnosed as terminally ill with Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia, along with the diagnoses of epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Becoming very depressed, stressed and distracted, I stopped taking care of myself and found myself at nearly 200 pounds. It wasn’t until I saw a picture of myself holding my son when he was about six months old that I realized I needed to make a change. That is when I became passionate about fitness as a personal journey.

 

Being non-ambulatory, I am constantly carrying my, now 11 year old son, around, lifting him in and out of his bed, wheelchair, and car. I understand being a special needs parent requires strength on many levels, and I am dedicated to keeping healthy not just for me, but for him too.

 

I have a desire to help anyone who feels they could benefit from it. My goal is to help you achieve a balanced and happy self by working towards a life-style that involves physical activity to improve the quality of your life today and for the future, and fueling your body in a way that supports that. I would be thrilled if you would allow me help you on your journey, and maybe you too will discover the benefits and joys of training!
