Lisa ReynoldsLisa Reynolds
Group Exercise Instructor

Years at Cooper: Full-time since June 2018, but I began subbing here in 2016.

Hometown: Plano, Texas

Previous work experience prior to coming to Cooper: I started in the fitness industry while in college at Texas A&M. From there, I have worked at a variety of health clubs and yoga studios in addition to my role as a Master Trainer for Barre Above and Balletone by Savvier Fitness. I also worked three years as a first grade teacher while building my credentials in the fitness industry.

What is your favorite form of physical activity? I love all group fitness classes, but my favorite is power vinyasa yoga. I also love going for walks outside when the weather is nice.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? My greatest achievement would have to be joining the Master Trainer team for both Barre Above and Balletone. Mentoring/training other instructors and fitness education are my passion. I am so blessed to have the role to do so!

If you could have a super power, what would it be? To get everything done on my to-do list every day.

If you had an extra hour of free time each day, how would you spend it? I would explore another fitness class I normally don’t get to go to or take a walk in nature.

What is your hidden talent? I can put my leg behind my head.

What’s the biggest compliment you’ve ever received? That I’ve changed someone’s life for the better.

How many siblings do you have? I have one older sister who is two years older than me.

What is your favorite family tradition? When I was small, my family used to take family trips every year. Those vacations are some of my greatest memories and I’m so grateful to have those memories.

How would your closest friends describe you (in three words)? Uplifting, thoughtful and silly!

What would your high school friends have predicted you’d be doing today? It’s definitely no surprise that I am here today! I grew up dancing and studied to be a school teacher in college, so the blend of fitness and education mirrors everything I was interested in back in the day.
