Malibu and Ventura County: Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura, Ojai, Oak Park, Calabasas

Trina’s passion for fitness and health started at an early age. She was very active in her childhood, playing a wide variety of sports before deciding to dedicate most of her time to golf. Her other interests include weightlifting, hiking, surfing, and snowboarding. Trina was an avid runner until a friend introduced her to the gym. From that point on, she fell in love with strength training and the multitude of benefits it provides, enabling her to become healthier and stronger overall.
Trina attended UCLA for two years before transferring to California State University, San Marcos to further pursue her studies, graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology. She then became a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and started working as a Personal Trainer/Kinesiologist in a small gym in her hometown. From this experience, she gained a deeper understanding of functional movement and rehabilitation exercises. She was able to work with a wide variety of clients, including geriatric adults, youth athletes, military personnel and everyone in between.
Trina worked two different jobs that gave her new perspectives of fitness and training. She worked as a golf fitness trainer at a golf performance facility utilizing her TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Level One Certification to recommend golf specific exercises to clients looking to improve their golf game. She also worked at an outpatient Physical Therapy clinic where she trained clients using specific exercises to help them bounce back from injuries. Currently she specializes in senior fitness and has trained clients with a multitude of challenges, including osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, recovery from surgeries, chronic pain, etc.
She is taking classes to pursue her educational goal of obtaining her doctorate in physical therapy. She looks forward to meeting you and sharing her education and experience, help you enjoy your fitness journey, reach your goals and maintain your fitness throughout your lifetime.

Now I can walk better. Also before I was going up the stairs one step at the time. Now I can go up and down by holding from both rails without a problem. I can go up 120 steps and more.
I continue doing all the exercises and they have given me more strength in all my body.
There aren't any words to say how much Lori and her trainer, therapist changed my life forever. Until today, I do the exercises they taught me.
I will thank them forever.
They changed my life. They can change your life too.

I just wanted to send the biggest thank you for joining us at The Variel. You put on such an excellent class and I know our contact at The Variel was really impressed.
I can't say enough good things about your class. You were knowledgeable, engaging, and FUN! I've worked with a number of fitness instructors over the years -- some are good and some are standout, and you quickly revealed yourself to be standout.
I look forward to working with you again in the future, and thanks for donating your time to our special community this past Saturday.
Thanks,
Eileen, Executive Director Parkinson's Resource Organization

Lori,
You're amazing...you can pivot in a moment's flash... if you could bottle that productivity and sell it to seniors you could buy California, despite the fact that you already help many people and make their lives better!! Stay YOU!!!
