Lisa "HYKES UP" fitness!

Lisa Hykes joined our Y back in June and has been busy "hiking" up the level of fitness around here ever since!  Lisa is very approachable and LOVES to help and talk!  She fills in for group fitness instructors when necessary and has been introducing some new exercise classes as well.

Moving here from North Carolina, Lisa began her Y career in 1989.  She comes to us with a Bachelors of Science in Wellness Leadership from the University of South Florida, is ACE Gold Certified as a Group Exercise Instructor and an ACE Certified Personal Trainer.  She is certified to teach IFTA Pilates, Piyo Live, YogaFit and other classes as well.

Lisa began teaching group fitness classes at the age of 19 (back in the day of leotards and leg warmers).  She has been in the field for over 30 years.

Her hobbies include reading, walking, playing with her dogs and attack cat and paper crafts.
