🌟 MFC MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🌟
This week’s spotlight shines on Lisa Greenspan, 69 years young!
Lisa has been part of the MFC family for four months, and in that short time she has become a wonderful example of resilience, determination, and the power of community.
Health and personal fitness have always been important parts of Lisa’s life. After facing some health challenges over the last two years that kept her from her regular routine, she made the decision to reclaim that part of herself and begin rebuilding her strength.
Today, Lisa is focused on reclaiming her body so she can feel confident and strong in her physicality again. Living with an autoimmune disease can sometimes pull a person into a place of discouragement, but fitness has become a powerful tool for rebuilding both her physical and mental well-being.
One of the most meaningful parts of Lisa’s journey at MFC has been her relationship with her trainer, Tanya. Lisa describes meeting Shonda and being paired with Tanya as one of the greatest blessings of her fitness journey. Tanya has helped her navigate complex health and fitness challenges with patience, encouragement, and expertise. Her knowledge of women’s health and commitment to helping Lisa succeed have made all the difference.
In just two months of working together, Lisa has lost six pounds, increased her muscle mass, activated and stabilized her core, and gained confidence in her workouts. But for Lisa, the transformation goes beyond the physical results. She has found a coach who truly understands her goals, believes in her abilities, and helps her see what’s possible. She credits much of her recent success to Tanya’s guidance and support.
🏔️ Something you may not know about Lisa: She has climbed the Himalayan Mountains twice—once to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal and once along the historic Silk Road in Ladakh, India. The remarkable part? She’s afraid of heights. She chose those adventures as a way to confront and conquer her fears, which says a lot about the courage and determination she brings to every challenge.
❤️ Favorite exercises: SkiErg and sled work
😅 Least favorite exercises: Lunges and squats (her knees aren’t their biggest fans!)
Her advice for anyone just starting at MFC:
“Just keep opening the door. Everyone here is willing to help and support you. Don’t quit. And if you ever feel discouraged, come find me.”
And when asked why MFC feels like home, Lisa said:
“Everybody here is working toward becoming a healthier version of themselves, and they lift you up when you need support. Thank you all for your wisdom and, most of all, your strong sense of community.”
Lisa’s story is a beautiful reminder that fitness isn’t just about losing weight or building muscle—it’s about resilience, courage, community, and finding the right people to help you along the way.
We’re honored to have you as part of the MFC family, Lisa! ❤️💪
