"Pain is a request for change. Your brain gets input from the affected part your body, then interprets that information as a threat or not, ultimately giving you the message that you need to do something differently."

MARIA CONDE
FOUNDER OF CONDE FITNESS AND RECOVERY
In 2016, I became a certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and began my career in a gym setting in Wellington, FL. Over the next four years, I had the opportunity to train a wide range of clients—including Olympic and Equestrian athletes—helping them prevent injury, improve performance, and stay prepared for competition. I also worked with individuals on weight loss and general fitness, guiding them toward healthier, more active lifestyles.
But as much as I enjoyed helping people reach their goals, I found myself asking a deeper question:
Why aren’t more people living active lives?
The answer became clear after I started working alongside a Chiropractor. I discovered that many people struggle with physical inactivity not because of a lack of motivation, but because of pain—pain rooted in past physical injuries, emotional stress, or chemical imbalances. These underlying issues often lead to movement dysfunction and postural imbalances that make exercise feel difficult or even impossible.
To better support my clients, I pursued additional certifications in Behavior Change, Corrective Exercise, Assisted Stretching, and Activation/Integration Techniques. This expanded skill set allows me to take a holistic approach to wellness—helping people heal first, so they can move better, feel better, and ultimately live better.
Today, my mission is simple:
Help people overcome pain and limitations so they can return to the active lives they deserve.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic discomfort, or just want to move with more confidence and ease—I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
LISA VAN PELT-DILLER
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
Athletics have been the cornerstone of my life. What began as a competitive journey evolved into a dedicated career in training. My experiences range from being a five-time FINA USMS World Record Holder to
qualifying for the Olympic Trials twice, achievements that led to a full athletic collegiate scholarship at the Division I/II level. I have merged my two passions—athletics and helping others—by becoming a certified fitness trainer. While I could have focused solely on assisting clients in reaching their competitive goals, I sought a more meaningful path that would allow me to make a positive impact on people's lives.
A couple of years ago, I became a client of Maria, and I greatly admire her fitness philosophy and the fervor she brings to her clients. My goal is to inspire individuals to stay active and age gracefully, all while minimizing discomfort.
