Lisa Payne
Lisa has been an accomplished writer and editor in Chicago for nearly ten years. After working as a TV producer at the ABC affiliate KCRG TV9 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Lisa decided to move back to her hometown of Chicago. She began teaching fitness classes and personal training in order to pay her tuition while completing her MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Out of this seemingly serendipitous collaboration developed a career as a fitness writer/editor.
Lisa has been featured on two episodes of CW’s Reluctantly Healthy with actress Judy Greer. She has also been seen on Yahoo! Screen, ABC 7 Chicago. and NBC 5 Chicago. Her writing credits include Vital Proteins, Counseling@Northwestern University: The Family Institute, Fitness Republic, Livestrong, Today’s Chicago Woman magazine, Cheeky Chicago and the blog for Fabletics by Kate Hudson.
In addition to writing and television, Lisa has a background in content, inbound, email and social media marketing. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys active expeditions that include surfing, zip-lining, or hiking. On the weekends Lisa can be found out with friends for dinner, brunch and cocktails, enjoying a concert, visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, exploring the Lincoln Park Zoo, or just home relaxing on the couch with her dog Hunter.
Her mission is to encourage people to live their best life one day at a time!
