LizFit Liz Forkel — Certified Personal Trainer Known for her theatrical flair, perhaps nourished by minoring in theater, Liz’s exuberant attitude is not an act.

It may be her reputation as an “always-on” trainer with enough energy to power a small country that draws newcomers to Liz’s fitness programs, but it’s her humor and her undying warmth and dedication to her clients and their numbers-based results that brings them back week after week. With 17 certifications–including STOTT Pilates, TRX, and Yoga–Liz trained clients with a variety of health needs a

t clubs up and down the Seacoast before opening her own business, now known as LizFit, in 2003. In that time, she has fine-tuned an inherent talent to connect with, understand and evoke change in her clients, using accountability-based programs crafted to each client’s specific health and fitness needs.

“If you’re willing to make the changes, if you’re willing to work as hard as you possibly can, I will work just as hard for you,” Liz says. Because she vividly remembers a time when she was unhealthy and overweight, the empathy she feels for her clients is real. A lifestyle change led to weight loss, health, national fitness certifications and a new career geared toward helping others facilitate significant change in their lives. As a thriving local business, LizFit offers ever-evolving class and training options informed by a wealth of constantly updated academic and medical resources with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and tangible success.

“When clients see results, and feel the difference, it’s like nothing else,” Liz says. “It’s truly the best experience in the world. And I live for that.”
