- Certified Personal Trainer
- CPR Certified
I am extremely excited to take on the challenge of running the Adventure Boot Camp at Anthem which Jasson and Lori have done so well! I started my fitness career in January of 1998 as a personal trainer with no education and a willing client who had seen the results I achieved in my own body at the time and forced me in a corner to train her! At this point I was actually an accounting major, but with her results and how good it made me feel to help someone, I changed my major to exercise science.
I became certified and worked for 24 Hour Fitness for 3 years, moving on to be a general manager at a locally owned gym in Houston, TX for 1 year, just after receiving my degree in Exercise Science from the University of Houston at Clear Lake. After that one year I decided to go back into training full time and worked for Bally Total Fitness for three years. In that last year and a half I was the companies only General Manager/trainer. Well, you might ask, how did you end up in Anthem, AZ? Budget Cut, I was one of them, and since there was no job holding my wife Danielle (of 8 years!) and I back, we decided to move here after friends have been trying to get us here for five years!
So after an experiment in the mortgage world (bad timing) and a great stay with OSR Therapy as a Physical Therapy Technician, I decided to make my side business of personal training a full time business. It is currently very successful as I am averaging 7 beatings, I mean sessions, daily!

Lori Pilcher - Adventure Boot Camp Instructor
- NESTA Certified Adventure Boot Camp Instructor
- NESTA Certified EZ8 Running Coach
- CPR Certified
 Lori started working out while in high school and had aspirations of being a group fitness instructor, but never took it seriously until after the birth of her two daughters. “Things are different after child birth, your body changes and I don’t know about you moms out there, but I want mine back!” says Lori. So that’s what she set out to do, get it back. Lori became a fitness enthusiast, competing in running events such as 5Ks, half marathons, full marathons and even the occasional Triathlon. Some of her more recent accomplishments are the 2007 P.F. Changs Rock & Roll Marathon (Coldest one on record, Brrr!), the 2007 San Francisco Half Marathon, the 2008 P.F. Changs Half Marathon, and the 2008 Ragnar Relay. You can always be sure that Lori is training for some upcoming event. Just ask her what’s on the horizon and she’ll have you thinking about what you should be training for, even if it’s just for the health of it!
Lori has made a full time commitment to spread the word of health and fitness. She has a new found love of a fit and healthy lifestyle and can’t wait to share it with you.
