My name is Lisa Russell and a long time member and instructor for the Armbrust YMCA. I’m married with 3 amazing kids and a grandma of an adorable 21 month old. I have been a group fitness instructor for 18 years, teaching a wide variety of class formats along the way. I recently obtained my personal training and nutrition coach certifications and am excited to work with people who want that extra motivation and encouragement to be a healthier version of themselves. Working out and creating healthy habits are passions of mine and I would love to walk with you on that journey!

I’m from Argentina and trained as a personal trainer, a profession that allows me to combine two of my greatest passions: movement and well‑being. I’ve been working with the body for more than 15 years, developing a holistic approach to physical activity and healthy living.
I love spending time outdoors, especially in parks and open spaces, where I feel energized and connected to my surroundings. I consider myself an enthusiastic, sociable, and pleasant person, always ready to support and motivate those who train with me. One of the things I enjoy most about my work is accompanying people on their journey and helping them achieve their goals. I’m committed to creating a positive, encouraging environment where each person feels seen, supported, and capable of growing at their own pace. Responsibility and teamwork are values that guide the way I work and connect with others.
