Hi! I'm Lisa Mercer, an aerobics teacher and personal trainer. I work at clubs
and corporate fitness facilities all over the Greater Boston area, after years
of working in New York City. Here in Boston, I teach at Candela
Spa, Wellspace, Fitcorp,
and private & corporate fitness centers at US Dept. of Transportation,
Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, and more. The list keeps growing!
News: I no longer recommend Healthworks Fitness for Women in Boston, and I am no longer affiliated with them. Please contact me if you'd like recommendations for fitness centers in the Boston area, or for my latest class locations, workshops, and trainings.
I teach almost all types of fitness classes including Step, Aqua, and Prenatal, and I am especially well-known for Body Sculpting. I'm certified by AFAA, AAAI, the Cooper Institute, and several other organizations, and I regularly attend professional conferences, workshops, and other continuing education. I'm also now certified by the PhysicalMind Institute®, in The Method™ as developed by Joseph Pilates. I'm teaching classes based on those techniques at various clubs and corporate sites around the Greater Boston area.
Prior to moving to Boston in 1995, I taught throughout New York at facilities such as the Vertical Club, American Express Corporate Fitness, SIAC (Securities Industry Automation Corporation), Smith Barney, Joy of Movement, New York Health & Racquet Club, and many co-op and condominium building private clubs.

You'll need RealPlayer for these clips. If you don't have it or you need an upgrade you can get it here. Try the video clips first - you may already have RealPlayer pre-installed. If not, it's an easy download. Look for the link (often in small print) for RealPlayer Basic which is free, hidden among the big ads for selling RealPlayer Plus or Gold. | |
