Lisa Wolfley Personal Trainer/ Membership Coordinator

I’ve been working for Groll Family Fitness for 3 years. My job at Groll Family Fitness consists of many titles. I’m a Personal Trainer/Membership Coordinator/Group Fitness Instructor and Customer Service. I have an Associate in Health and Exercise Science and am nationally certified as a Personal Trainer with American Council on Exercise (ACE). I wasn’t always healthy, I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a child, and I grew to be obsessed with the numbers on the scale. Because of this obsession I turned to drugs to help keep the weight off. I soon became a drug addict. I was court ordered to Odyssey House (rehab) in Salt Lake City. There I learned how to overcome my addiction with a tremendous amount of therapy. Meanwhile I gained 90 lbs bringing my weight to a grand total of 220 lbs. With the Lords help, I completed Odyssey House and decided to go back to school and learn how to manage my obsession (weight) in a positive and appropriate way. I’ve completely changed my lifestyle and lost 60 lbs. I am strong, fit and feel fabulous. Jeannine and Chris Groll and the staff at Groll Family Fitness are knowledgeable and caring people, I have been blessed to have such wonderful friends and co-workers.
