The Better Body Club Club was founded by Lisa Lingard in 2009 on her return from living and working abroad for a number of years.
Lisa is a fully qualified fitness professional with over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, she has used her knowledge and experience to build a business that offers a wide range of classes. She now has a team of instructors working alongside her, all of who have a passion for bringing high-quality classes to their clients. The team pride themselves on being friendly and welcoming to everyone and ensure that whatever fitness needs clients have, the program is so varied and exciting that there will be a class to suit all.
The Better Body Club has a proven record of obtaining great results for its clients, looking to the industry for all the latest innovations and advice to always deliver classes that are safe, effective, and relevant.
After her initial training with Future Fit, Lisa started her fitness career in Military gyms abroad, both in Cyprus and Belguim before heading back to the UK in 2009.
At this time she settled in Warsash and set up her company, the Better Body Club. Lisa believes that fitness should be for everyone regardless of their injuries, age or class preference and has worked to create a timetable that reflects this. Although Lisa enjoys teaching a wide variety of classes she has a particular love of dance, Pilates and music.
She has now moved to Denmead where she has set up another venue to teach fitness classes and her spare time is taken up with even more physical activity walking her 3 dogs and taking her 2 daughters out on their horses.
