Liz’s story began on the East side of Michigan, where she grew up. She was an academic and athlete and loved by her peers, but she knew there was more to life than high school. Eventually, Liz leaped and went to college on the West side of Michigan at Grand Valley State University. The next four years marked a significant chapter in her life, fueling her passion for clinical exercise science.

Pursuing Clinical Exercise Science

Liz spent four years at the university honing her skills and understanding of clinical exercise science. This academic endeavor provided her with a comprehensive understanding of the human body, its movements, and the importance of exercise in maintaining health.

Internship: Learning Holistic Approaches

Liz’s thirst for knowledge led her to intern at i’move in Spring Lake for two summers. This experience exposed her to a more holistic approach to treating joints and movements, a perspective she would carry into her professional life. Her internship also exposed her to various ministries and community services. This makes Liz so interested in what we do at Motive; the blending of personal training and rehabilitation is right up her alley.

Becoming a Personal Trainer

Inspired by her experiences, Liz decided to become a personal trainer. She earned her certification with the American College of Sports Medicine, marking an important milestone in her career.
