Liza Duddy

Coach Liza is AWESOME! She designed a training program specific to me & my goal. She is very knowledgeable and a great listener. I need to run the Marine Corps Marathon(w/old lady legs- 60+yrs) & finish . She helped me with my hip pain, designed an achievable training plan & holds me accountable. I have done both in person and I-pad programs. I like the I-pad sessions because of the convenience and the 1 on 1 interaction. You can’t hide when Coach Liza calls – and she never forgets to call! She is a combo Coach Belichick & Mother Theresa – tough –  but in a smart, loving manner! Thanks Coach Liza!

Working with Coach Liza was phenomenal as I trained for my first 50 mile ultra marathon while also dealing with the side effects of cancer treatment. I was already an ultra runner before working with Liza, but I knew that I needed professional support with the added complication of cancer along with managing my previous injuries. I’m now a stronger runner than I was before I had cancer. Liza knows how to push you, get you to do the work you don’t want to do but need to get stronger, & will get you over that finish line healthy & stronger than you were before you started training. She’s empathetic, empowering, & does zero BS – exactly what I needed to help me reach my goal of running 50 miles with cancer.

Coach Liza has been a constant support system to me throughout the years! Coach Liza has adjusted my programming over the years to support my needs as I continue to grow as an athlete. Even 1,000 miles away, I get quality coaching that has such knowledge and passion behind it. Coach Liza has helped me change my life, stay consistent and challenged me from afar. I would not be where I am today without her.

I have worked with Coach Liza both in person and remotely and she is one of the best trainers out there! We currently work remotely and her program has allowed me to stay consistent with a workout routine. I have limitations due to an injury and she tailors the workouts to prevent further issues. Her workouts are challenging, motivating, and she holds you accountable. I feel healthy, strong, and more confident because of her program! 

She is the best! Not only is she a knowledgeable trainer, she has been spotted doing the worm at 70”s themed birthday parties filled with old people who happen to be some of her best clients!  She also doubles as a therapist and stands up for what she believes in, it’s like she does three jobs at once. Amazing at multi-tasking!

I have been working out with Coach Liza for 6 months now and I am stronger, leaner, and have a lot more energy to help me keep up with my 3 kids.  I absolutely love our work outs; they are different every week and a great mix and of high & low impact training.   In addition to losing weight from my work outs, I truly feel that I am eating and sleeping better from being in better shape; thanks to Coach Liza.

Coach Liza has been training me for almost four years. After a back injury, I was petrified to hurt myself again. Instead of sitting around, my physical therapist encouraged me to work with a trainer. I could barely jump or hold a 10 second plank when I first started working with Liza. Today I am stronger, and happier than ever because of how much stronger I am. I honestly couldn’t imagine the last four years without Liza!

I have been training with Liza on a regular basis for about 2 years. In the past I used to anticipate with dread those days I was going to exercise. Now I look forward to it! Liza always has a different series of exercises that address not only weight bearing work, but flexibility and stretching all while keeping my heart rate exactly where it should be to meet my goals.

When you are training with Liza, you are not the only one doing work. She comes with different ideas, fun challenges and recent research on diet and exercise to share during our time together. Through a recent severe case of hip trochanter bursitis we were able to continue our training working in a way that allowed me to heal the injury, but maintain my fitness level. Liza was diligent in speaking with my PT to develop a workout plan that supported my recovery.

I have probably trained with half a dozen trainers over the last twenty years but Liza is by far the most professional, knowledgeable and dedicated to her clients that I have encountered!

My 11 year old daughter loves Coach Liza! She has been doing one on one training sessions and has noticed that her swim workouts feel easier and she is feeling less exhausted after her workouts. She has so much fun during her sessions and has gained a lot of strength, endurance and confidence!!

I started working with Liza last November when I was feeling very out of shape and wanted to start a serious exercise regimen. She was recommended by a good friend who gave her high praise.  

Since starting with Liza I am noticeably leaner and feel great. Liza is my biggest cheerleader but also works me hard. My workouts are challenging and different each time which keeps me engaged. Liza provides me with videos of the exercises we have done so that I am able to remember how to do them correctly. This is extremely beneficial and very much appreciated. She even gives me routines to do when traveling since I am frequently out of town.

When I hurt my back and was in bed for a month, Liza had me concentrate on my core when I was able to get back in the gym to keep me from another back injury. When I set a goal to run a 5K. I told Liza and she helped me put together a plan to achieve my goal.  I was so proud to email her periodically with my progress and Liza always responded with excitement and encouragement. She was the first one to text me after the race to see how it went and now we are working on running faster and longer.  

Liza is one amazing trainer and an even better person!

Coach Liza changed everything. I came to her as a person that wanted to reverse the trend of dreadful athletic performances followed by days of pain. I still despised going to the gym, as I need a goal — I’m not the type to just work for the sake of doing work. Fortunately for me Liza had a plan. And core to that plan was her enthusiasm and energy that pierced through my anger towards the gym. This can’t be understated, because for the first few months I didn’t want to go through the pain of working out, yet she created workouts that pushed me towards my goal and she never let me stop.  

3 months later and I can already feel amazing changes. I have energy for complete soccer and basketball games; I can play as hard at the end as I do at the beginning. The days after don’t hurt anymore. And most importantly, as a type 1 diabetic, I now use ~35-40% less insulin. I will live a longer, better, happier life because Coach Liza had a plan to find the hidden athlete within, dust it off, and bring it back to life.  

I cannot say enough good things about Coach Liza. She is an amazing trainer and an even better person with a beautiful soul that shines through in the smile she greets me with every day. Even on the days that I don’t want to be there. Thanks Coach!
