Experience:
After becoming a mother, the importance of maintaining fitness during pregnancy and post-partum became abundantly clear. It also became clear how difficult this can be, thus Mama Mojo Fitness was born.

Lea is truly well-rounded as a fitness professional with substantial experience in both the clinical & applied setting and with an extensive background in teaching and coaching. An athlete as well, Lea has competed in many sports including swimming, triathlon, distance running, skiing, gymnastics, water polo, track and field, and as a result she understands what it takes physically, mentally and emotionally to engage in exercise at all levels.

As the mother of a lively toddler, she recognizes that there are time constraints in daily life and designs programs that are scientifically sound and effective, yet fun and efficient so they provide a ray of sunshine in even the busiest of schedules. Lea’s clients enjoy her integrative, comprehensive, results-oriented and systematically progressive approach. She incorporates into her programs a strategic combination of cardiovascular training, functional exercise, integrated body movement, traditional strength, core stability, balance, flexibility, nutrition and some sports psychology.  As a result of her experience as an athletic trainer, her clients also benefit from her unique ability to work with injury prevention and rehabilitation. 

Lea’s athletic drive, compassionate heart and extensive background make her the ideal trainer for a wide variety of clients including high level athletes, those brand new to exercise and sport, youths, aging athletes, those looking to lose weight, pre- and post-natal, moms of all ages, and those rehabilitating an injury.  Lea has consistently shown the ability to meet people wherever they are in their fitness path and help them get to where they want to be, while understanding and empathizing with the wide range of challenges that people face at all levels.

Complementing her personal training, Lea is also a running, swimming and triathlon coach and an exercise test technician.
