Lori Murphy is a Personal Trainer and Fat Loss Expert from Livingston County. She has been helping people for almost two decades lose weight and keep it off.

“I have worked with a lot of people as a Personal Trainer in the Brighton/Howell area. I know that when people are overweight and need to take better care of themselves it affects other areas of their lives. They hold back from taking

part in social activities, aren’t involved with their children’s activities or just do not enjoy life the way they’d like to.”

The goal is to help people learn how to incorporate a healthy eating and exercise plan; one that will teach them how to lose body fat, speed up their metabolism, gain strength and confidence. Basically, help them take their lives BACK! 

Lori trains men, woman and children of all ages, whether its sports conditioning, weight loss or strength training. She specializes in helping woman ages 30-70 “reverse the aging process”. She does so by showing them how to lose body fat, build lean muscle tissue and rev up their metabolism so their bodies are working for them rather than against them.

“I want to teach men and women that yo-yo dieting is not the answer and there is NO MAGIC PILL! I will help them unlock the key to STAYING FIT FOR LIFE!”
