Liz West, Coach & Training Specialist
Liz West is an accomplished athlete who trains others as enthusiastically as she trains herself.  When Liz is not doing strength and conditioning sessions, you will find her rock climbing, hiking, biking up a long hill, taking care of her two young boys, acting as a proud Westport mom, and in general, being Super Person.  Liz has more energy packed into her than perhaps most small Con Edison plants, and the sunny disposition to match.   She is a tremendous motivator, as well as a great role model for others.  Ms. West spent many years living west of the Rockies but has now made a home in Westport.
