FIRESTONE FITNESS

​

Welcome to Firestone Fitness, and thank you for visiting my site!

​

My name is Leslie Firestone. I am a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Silver Sneakers Instructor, dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals to lead healthier, more active lives.

​

Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I moved to Evergreen, Colorado, in 1996 to embrace my love for the mountains and an active lifestyle. Growing up, I was passionate about sports, competing in track, soccer, and softball. My enthusiasm for fitness extended to activities like mountain biking the 24 Hours of Moab, hiking, and horseback riding. During college, I discovered my passion for teaching fitness and began instructing aerobics classes at Bally’s Fitness Club in downtown Pittsburgh. Fitness has been a cornerstone of my life ever since.

​

I’ve been happily married since 1999 and am a proud mom of two wonderful daughters. As an animal lover, my family includes four dogs, one cat, and two horses. They bring endless joy and balance to my life.

​

In my late 30s, I faced a life-changing challenge: a neck fusion surgery (C5-C7) due to a high risk of paralysis. This experience profoundly shaped my perspective and strengthened my commitment to fitness. After my recovery, I vowed to return to teaching and helping others achieve their fitness goals.

​

Today, I continue to navigate health challenges, including degenerative disc disease and a nerve impingement that occasionally causes a tremor in my hand. These obstacles have impacted my ability to practice fitness fully, but they have also deepened my empathy and fueled my determination to support others on their fitness journeys. Over the past two years, I’ve worked closely with doctors to manage my condition, exploring alternative solutions to avoid further surgery. Though this journey has been challenging, it has renewed my purpose: to help others persevere through their own struggles and find ways to adapt and thrive.

​

Through reflection and persistence, I’ve come to embrace that I can continue pursuing my passion for fitness. My personal experiences have given me a unique perspective and empathy for clients who may feel like giving up. My goal is to guide and motivate others to keep moving forward, even if it means adjusting their path to fit their circumstances. Progress is always possible with determination and the right support.

​

I am deeply grateful for the support of my clients and participants who have shared in my journey. It is a privilege to inspire and be inspired by those I work with as we pursue health and wellness together. I believe in embracing our imperfections, as they make us unique and resilient.

​

My certifications and experience span a wide range of fitness formats, including Piyo Live, Pilates, Silver Sneakers (Classic, Circuit, Yoga, Boom Move & Muscle), LaBlast, Body Shred, Spinning, Barre, and more. As an Independent Fitness Instructor, I’m proud to offer personal training and group exercise classes at various studios in Colorado.
