Lila grew up in North Florida and was introduced to fitness at a very young age by her mother, who is also a personal trainer. Lila spent most of her childhood riding horses with her mom, fishing with her dad and brother, and training for gymnastics competitions with her peers. Throughout high school, she participated in a national competitive cheerleading squad as well as her school’s varsity cheerleading, tennis, weight lifting, and track and field teams. Lila moved to New York on a whim in 2007. Shortly thereafter, she decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps and pursue a career in fitness. She enrolled in the Focus Personal Training Institute where she excelled as a top trainer. Lila spent over 300 hours studying everything from exercise physiology and injury prevention to program design and professional development. She also earned countless hours of practical experience training a diverse clientele. Lila is currently working to obtain a certification in pre/post natal exercise as well a yoga teacher certification. In her spare time, she enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, mountain biking, surfing, water skiing and snorkeling. Her other passions include cooking nutritious meals and singing and writing folk songs. She recorded her first album, “Something In The Water” in 2010.
