Lisa Welker Fitness Journey | Stronger Every Day Podcast

What does it mean to truly “find your balance” in fitness and in life? For Lisa Welker, a 48-year-old mother, personal trainer, and nutrition coach, the answer came through years of transformation, resilience, and self-discovery.

This Thursday on the Stronger Every Day Podcast, I sit down with Lisa to talk about her journey from competitive bodybuilding and entrepreneurship to raising two boys, overcoming rheumatoid arthritis, and building a coaching philosophy centered on self-love and sustainable health.

Lisa’s story isn’t about chasing perfection. Her fitness journey is about facing fears, finding strength in vulnerability, and learning that fitness is more than aesthetics; it’s about living fully, staying mobile, and empowering yourself at every stage of life.

From Fashion to Fitness: A Bold Career Pivot

Before she was a trainer, Lisa built her career in the fashion and boutique world. But after a knee injury and a difficult divorce, she found herself craving something deeper. Bodybuilding became her outlet, not only to test her limits, but to face her fears.

At six-foot-one, Lisa admits she always felt like hiding. “What’s scarier than stepping on stage in a bikini?” she laughs. But that leap helped her realize something powerful: discipline, mental strength, and resilience can transform every area of life.

Redefining Health Beyond Aesthetics

Bodybuilding taught Lisa a lot, both good and bad. Competing gave her structure and toughness, but it also exposed the dangers of extreme dieting, comparison, and body dysmorphia.

When she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 40, everything shifted. “I realized health isn’t about being 145 pounds in a bikini,” she says. “It’s about mobility, energy, mental clarity, and being strong enough to carry two kayaks up a hill without getting winded.”

That moment pushed Lisa to evolve her philosophy: health is balance. It’s about fueling your body, enjoying food, moving daily, and building strength that lasts a lifetime. This chapter of the Lisa Welker fitness journey shows why true health goes far beyond appearance, it’s about energy, resilience, and longevity.

Finding Your Foxy: Embracing Confidence & Individuality

Lisa’s brand, Find Your Foxy, is all about embracing quirks, confidence, and individuality. “It’s about accepting all the parts of yourself,” she explains. “Stop shrinking for others. Be bold. Be you.”

Whether it’s helping clients sneak protein into family meals, teaching women to prioritize themselves, or reminding moms that self-care isn’t selfish, Lisa’s coaching goes beyond sets and reps. It’s about helping people build strength in both body and mind.
