About Lisa Marie Kloberdanz

  • Age: 27
  • Where I live: Salida, Colorado

Sport Interests: Pilates, whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, trail running, skiing

How I got started doing pilates: I realized years of constant training for crew, track, and cross-country, I was putting tons of impact on my joints, and build up of injuries that my body was becoming unbalanced and creating sore muscles. After a major ski injury in 2001 I looked for other activities that would find balance in my body. I finally discovered pilates at The Pilates Studio in Salida and was so impressed in how it promoted so much awareness in my body that I  incorporated the power of the core into all my sports! 

Athletic achievements:

  • The Pilates Studio, Snake on the Reformer!
  • JV Oregon State Crew team in 1998-2000
  • Western State College Cross Country, NCAA National Champions CC team, 2001
  • RMAC 2001 Academic Team, Western State College Cross Country
  • Nationals, 2nd Expert Rodeo Kayaker, 2001
  • Fibark, 2nd Expert Rodeo Kayaker, 2005
  • Dupont Marathon, NC 2nd Overall Women runner       

Athletic goals: To become a stronger and flexible person! Paddle, run, ski, and bike with power from my core and to  use my mind and spirit to control my body. See new rivers and places!

Inspiration: Finding new places in the outdoors by having a strong body, flexible mind, and staying young by learning from the young and old.

Philosophy:  Live life in the moment, slow life down and stay young being aware of my body and mind. For years I lived each day as a run for my life, now I slow life down and add variety! Keep life spicy.

Favorite spot to do pilates: By the river on a sunny day or in an equipment class at the studio!

Favorite Girls4Sport wear: Fitness crop pants, halter rashguard

What I do when I'm not doing pilates: Whitewater kayaking, trail running with my dog Izzy, or working at Colorado Kayak Supply.

My job: Retail Manager, Colorado Kayak Supply; Pilates Personal Trainer, The Pilates Studio in Salida, CO

Education: BA Recreation/Minor Kinesiology, ACE Personal Trainer, ACA Kayak Instructor, Pilates Mat I & II, PhysicalMind Institute

Interesting/unusual facts about me: I'm a cheesehead (from Wisconsin)!

I went on my daily run when it was -20 degrees and a blizzard one winter day and I counted 3 cars stopping and asking if I needed help or if my car broke down.

I wanted to run a pretty technical creek my first year of kayaking, all my paddling friends said "you're not ready" so no one would lead me down the creek, until a  guy I was dating decided that he would lead me down the river. A few months later this guy became my "husband." Dave, he believes in me!
