Our Personal Trainers

Jean was born with a passion for sports, fitness, and an active lifestyle which has only increased with each passing decade! Along the way, she has played pretty much every sport and embraced every exercise craze to come down the pike ~ running more races, logging more miles, and lifting more weight than she cares to think about!

Born and raised outside of Baltimore, Jean attended law school in Washington, D.C. and eventually settled there with her husband to practice litigation. After 15 years, she downshifted her legal career to focus on raising their daughters, still making sure she found time to run, swim, bike, practice yoga, go to boot camp, and strength train at the gym. In 2008, she and her family moved to Westchester, where Jean became a certified personal trainer so she could train people in her home gym while keeping an eye on her high schoolers. This career proved to be the ideal way to share her extensive knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm in the field of exercise with others and she has enjoyed working with many clients of all ages and levels of fitness.

But even though she thought she had tried everything, Jean was blown away after her first 20-minute super slow weight training workout ~ it was hands down more efficient and effective than all those classes, machines, cardio equipment, or anything she’d experienced. Not only does it produce superior results in less time, but it also reduces the physical and mental fatigue, not to mention the wear and tear on the body brought about by endless hours in the gym. This type of training is the perfect fit for literally everyone, regardless of your age and physical condition. Jean is excited to be embarking on this newest phase of her fitness journey at Loyalty Fitness and is looking forward to helping her clients get stronger and healthier!

Lisa is outgoing, energetic, and health-conscious which resonates with her three children. Her favorite sport is ice hockey, which she played outside as a child on a pond with her brother. Outside her world of physical fitness, her passion is photography, which she studied in college. Lisa says you have not seen the essence of a subject until you capture it through a lens. Her unique photographs are hanging throughout her home. For years she was an accomplished restaurant owner of fine Mediterranean cuisine. The responsibility of being an entrepreneur has enhanced and contributed to her abilities in time management, business skills, and professionalism.

Excited to be training at Loyalty Fitness, Lisa is eager to share her accumulated knowledge with her clients and to motivate and inspire them to achieve their health and fitness goals.

Kelsey has a lifelong passion for health, nutrition and fitness, and has been an outdoors enthusiast from a very young age. She has always been extremely active in various sports/activities and appreciative of human physiology and its capability.

She studied Biology at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland where she competed in both Division III basketball and DIII cross country, setting a school record on its home course. Upon graduating, Kelsey pursued her passion in wellness and helping others. She has been coaching and training people of all ages and fitness levels for the past decade. She coached middle school and high school basketball and cross country at Sacred Heart in Greenwich, CT for four years while also working in Norwalk, CT for Mindy (Loyalty Fitness founder/owner) from 2016-2018 for a super slow strength training company founded in California.

When that company closed down its studios in CT and NY, Kelsey took her clientele and started training at Anytime Fitness in Norwalk. Soon after the COVID pandemic began, two events triggered a venue change: Kelsey became pregnant and all CT gyms closed, so she transitioned her in-person training to virtual training. Her sweet son, Quincy, was born in December of 2020 and she has continued with the virtual training which allows her to be home with him.

Mindy and Kelsey remained close ever since their paths crossed in 2016, and in May 2021 Kelsey joined the Loyalty Fitness team as Mindy’s Executive Assistant.

Kelsey is honored to be a part of this amazing team and company and is committed to helping Loyalty Fitness change and improve as many lives as possible!

She is the owner and founder of Back to Balance Health & Wellness Coaching. She loves all animals and enjoys cooking and finding ways to make every recipe as nutritious as possible.

Her mission is to add years to your life, but more importantly- add life to your years.

She is very excited to be personal training at Loyalty Fitness because it is such a positive, safe and calm environment – no blaring music, selfie-taking, waiting for machines, or throwing weights around! The SuperSlow workout is super-efficient and effective, and in total alignment with Carolyn’s belief system. She is hoping to further contribute knowledge, education, and positive energy to this fabulous team and client population.
