Meet Lori
Certified Fitness Expert & Nutrition Coach
I’m Lori, a trainer and fitness expert bringing over 35 years of industry experience. I graduated from The University of Georgia with a degree in Exercise Science and specialty in Corporate Wellness. In 2012, I opened Strong Foundations, a boutique state of the art Gym in Columbia, South Carolina with four other trainers. We focus our work on training individuals and small groups at all stages and all ages.
​
My extensive knowledge of implementing sustainable clean eating habits and living a healthy lifestyle made my partnership with The FASTer Way to Fat Loss a natural fit. As a certified coach, I work closely with my clients to build a personalized program designed to ensure results through cutting-edge fitness and nutrition strategies.
​
The FASTer Way fitness programs empower individuals by providing knowledge and tools for sustainable results. From teaching how to fuel the body, track macros, intermittent fast, to train locally or anywhere in the country.

“I started Strong Foundations with Lori back in 2013 and it's the best decision I ever made for myself. I just had my third baby and was ready to do something for myself and I never looked back.”
-Carrie Smith
“I've been working with Lori for 10 years. No matter your age or needs, Lori will adjust to what's best for you - she pushes you when needed and pulls back if you are recovering. She's awesome!”
