Lori Kirwan

Lori has been teaching fitness classes, personal training and managing group fitness for many years in downtown Toronto. She moved here from Sudbury -up in the snowy north- to go to U of T to top up her undergrad in nursing with a MSc in nursing and then got her PhD in exercise physiology which is her true love! After many years of academics and doing research, Lori decided that she wanted to practice what she has learnt and work solely in fitness helping people become strong and healthy using science and scientific principles to guide programming.

As many of you know by doing Lori’s classes, she is energetic and motivating and makes you realize
“You are stronger than you think you are!” When you are in her presence she makes you realize that you can accomplish way more than you thought you could. Her most popular mantras are “In order to achieve you must first believe!” And “We are stronger together than we are alone!” These types of messages really demonstrate her belief in the power of group fitness and she has definitely found her happy place as the coordinator for our group class schedule here at Pure Fitness!
