FIND YOUR INNER ATHLETE
meet lisa, owner of TIA
Lisa’s lifelong love of fitness and passion for physical education inspired her to create The Inner Athlete. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a degree in Communications, Lisa began her career in television production. While she appreciated the creativity and excitement of the industry, she soon realized it wasn’t her true calling. What truly fulfilled her was helping others—especially young people—discover the same sense of joy, confidence, and empowerment she found through sports and movement.
Following that realization, Lisa returned to school to earn a Master’s Degree in Physical Education and Health. She went on to teach in Irvington, NJ, where she developed an innovative health and fitness program centered on choice, engagement, and personal interest—an experience she describes as one of the most rewarding of her life.
As education systems increasingly prioritized testing over play, Lisa saw firsthand the decline in physical activity and the rise in sedentary lifestyles among children. Determined to make a difference, she founded The Inner Athlete with a clear mission: to help every child discover movement they enjoy, build confidence through physical activity, and develop a lifelong love for health and wellness.
