LORI SAWYER, M.A., ATC, Owner
Lori Sawyer earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Movement Studies and Exercise Sciencewith a concentration in Athletic Training from East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. She
then earned a Masters of Arts Degree in Exercise Science from Montclair State University in New
Jersey.
After graduating, Lori took a position at Seton Hall University as an Athletic Trainer for two
years. She then moved to Los Angeles to take a position as a staff Athletic Trainer at UCLA in
2001. While at UCLA, she traveled with the women’s basketball team and was directly
responsible for the women’s tennis team and the 2003 national championship women’s water
polo team.
Her focus as an Athletic Trainer has been on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and sports specific
training. She has developed a well deserved reputation in the field for bringing athletes back
from injury, quicker and safer than before. While at UCLA, she was certified in the Graston
Technique for pain and injury management.
Since undergraduate school and throughout her career, she has trained people from every walk
of life to help them improve their lifestyle and achieve their specific goals. Now, her lifestyle and
goals have changed. She has created LS-Fitness, a personal training, nutrition and
rehabilitation business that focuses on core strength while achieving your goals. When Jake
was born on August 31, 2005 she wanted to stay at home with her new son, she also didn't
want to end her professional career...so MOMMY-MOVES! was born! Now with 2 beautiful boys
(Jake and Chase) She runs the Mommy-Moves program and continues to teach classes.
and studied for her Accounting degree. Upon graduation, she entered the financial field at Merrill
Lynch in downtown Manhattan. The high stress environment proved to drain much of her
positive energy. She combated this by joining her firm’s gym. As a fitness student, Jen learned
the positive role that exercise plays in maintaining the precious work vs family balance.
When Andrew was born on October 15, 2004, she decided that her family would play a more
central role in her life. Jen continued to work for Merrill, but on a part-time basis from her home
office. While only working 20 hours a week, this still proved to be a challenge; trying to find the
balance between work and family. Again, exercise proved to be the focus that gave Jen her
foundation to do both a bit of work and play. To keep her sane, she competed on a recreational
level Sprint Triathlons, while continuing participating in her love of running, and step aerobics.
When William was born on August 10, 2007, she decided 2 boys needed her more than Merrill,
so she resigned. It was through a ‘Free class’ coupon that Jen met the acquaintance of Lori and
Mary. A couple of months later, Jen passed her American Council on Fitness (ACE) exam for
Group Fitness Instruction to become a Mommy-Moves Instructor.
working in the Fashion Industry for designers such as Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors.
Although a fun and exciting industry, it can leave you drained. As a way to refuel, she relied on
running, yoga, and early morning gym sessions. As the stress of work wore on, her interest in
making her passion a career grew. After training and running her first marathon in New York,
she knew she had to make a change.
Before up and quitting her day job, she became a certified Spin instructor and began teaching
evening classes at an independent gym in Brooklyn. She soon knew this was the direction she
wanted to move. She researched certifications and found the National Academy of Sports
Medicine to offer the education she sought to become a trainer. After many hours of study she
was able to quit her day job! She began training at NYSC in Chelsea, and after she and her
husband moved to Red Bank continued training at the Atlantic Club.
Jane just had her first baby on February 29, 2008. While pregnant, another Mommy-Moves!
trainer, Mary, introduced her to the program. Now with the experiences of pregnancy, and the
trials of a c-section to add to her "education," she feels she can offer even more to our Mom's.
Jane is excited to share her energy to stay fit and healthy with each of you.
