About

I spent years dreaming about this life.

Then I decided to just start living it.

And I want the same for you.

I'm Lisa Kiely — fitness coach, gerontologist, certified personal trainer, and founder of Lisa Kiely Fitness & Travel.

For over 35 years, I've helped people live well at every age.

Now I spend my days doing the thing I love most:

helping people over 40 get strong, move boldly, and go places that change them.

I founded Train to Travel™ because I noticed something. The people who had the most incredible travel experiences weren't the ones with the most money or the most free time — they were the ones whose bodies were ready. They could walk farther, climb higher, breathe easier, and show up fully. I want that for everyone I work with. And I want to be there when they arrive.

Based in the Atlanta area, I lead live fitness classes three times a week via Zoom, host an on-demand video library, and guide small groups on active travel experiences to Mexico and beyond. Every piece of what I do is connected: train your body, then use it.

A little more about my professional life:

I believe the best classroom is outside, with your feet on real ground.

I believe movement is medicine.

And I believe it's never too late to build the body — and the life — you've been imagining.

Come train with me.

Let's go somewhere.
