Philosophy & Mission
At RISE with Lana, my mission is to help you unlock your body’s full potential so you can move better, feel stronger, and live life to the fullest. I want to equip you with the tools and knowledge to seamlessly integrate healthy movement into your lifestyle.
Fitness isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about building resilience, overcoming pain, and embracing the joy of movement. I understand the transformative power of movement and want to share that with my clients.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in four core pillars -turned into the acronym RISE- that guide every aspect of your training journey.
As a Specialist in Exercise Therapy and Corrective Exercise, my first goal is to help you restore proper function and alignment in your body. This means addressing muscle imbalances, improving mobility, and reducing pain so you can move confidently again.
What it means for you: From recovering post-injury to addressing long-standing discomfort, we’ll start by rebuilding your foundation for lasting health. The RESTORE pillar is not limited to Rebound & RISE clients - it’s applied across programs to address your unique concerns, assuring you that your program is personalized to you.
"Performance" doesn’t just mean excelling in sports or hitting PRs—it’s about performing better in everyday life. Whether that means lifting heavier, running further, or simply feeling energized throughout the day, I’ll help you optimize your movement patterns and overall fitness. Beyond the physical component, I also strive to improve your relationship with exercise to make it a seamlessly integral part of your life moving forward.
What it means for you: Together, we’ll fine-tune your technique, improve your conditioning, and achieve the goals that matter to you—whether that’s running your first 5k or keeping up with your kids.
Strength training is the foundation of any well-rounded fitness program. By focusing on functional strength, we enhance your body's ability to handle real-life challenges, from carrying groceries to hiking up mountains. The goal isn’t just to build muscle—it’s to fortify your body against injuries and improve your long-term health.
What it means for you: we work together to develop a personalized plan that builds sustainable strength, tailored to your unique goals, needs and lifestyle. It’s not always about lifting the heaviest weights, but about becoming stronger in a way that supports your goals.
Fitness is a lifelong journey, not a short-term sprint. I focus on building not only your physical endurance but also the mental fortitude to stay committed. Through periodized training, I’ll keep your workouts challenging and engaging, so you’re always progressing without burnout.
What it means for you: By fostering consistency and resilience, I’ll help you develop habits that stick. Whether your goal is to complete a trail run or simply stay active, my programs will build the stamina you need to keep moving forward.
