about inspire
Our STORY
Inspire Athletics was founded in 2007 by Coach Lori. Her educational background includes a Liberal Studies Major from Bethel College, where she concentrated on Physical Education, Nutrition, and Business. She was a gymnast for over 10 years and has coached for over 30 years, with numerous additional certifications under her belt.
What sets Inspire Athletics apart is its mission. Lori believes in the importance of a healthy and wholistic coach-athlete mentoring relationship. This belief is deeply rooted in her faith. As a daughter of missionaries in Brazil, she learned the value of dedicating one’s life to inspiring people in life with humility by putting others first at an early age. This is reflected in the company's mission to not only train the body but also to prepare young people for life in a healthy and inspiring environment.
