Lori Hickey was born in the “Heart of the Berkshires” Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and was raised on her family’s horse farm, where her father was born and still resides today.  She and her siblings grew up competing in Barrel Racing and other events at various local horse shows, which sparked her competitive nature at a young age.

Lori received her B.S. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where her studies included Anatomy & Kinesiology as well as Sports Psychology.  With 14 years of club management experience and over 25 years of fitness industry experience, Lori has had affiliations with clubs across the country such as Maryland Farms Country Club in Brentwood, Tennessee; The Western Montana Sports Medicine & Fitness Center in Missoula, Montana; The Lakes Sports Club in Grapevine, Texas; Lifetime Fitness in Colleyville, Texas; and The Four Seasons Resort & Club in Las Colinas, Texas.

Lori has received certifications through C.I.A.R. (Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research) and N.A.S.M. (National Academy of Sports Medicine) and for four consecutive years competed in “all natural” body building competitions in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, placing as high as 3rd place.  Lori has also competed locally in the sport of Squash, on a regional level in Racquetball, and on a national level in Soccer, the sport that she still enjoys competing in today.  Her hobbies speak more to her creative side and include: interior design, interior decorating, writing and singing. To stay spiritually centered, Lori attends church regularly and stays involved in biblical studies. 

Lori is very excited to be a part of the LCCC team and looks forward to helping as many members as possible attain a healthier, more vibrant life through the wonders of fitness training and sensible nutrition.
