Forward Thinking Fitness was created as an opportunity to set new standards for the Lehigh Valley. The culture in the area is tarnished with gyms that just want members’ money, trainers that are not certified to put a client’s well-being in their hands and programming quality that is severely lacking.

Most people get roped into signing up for a gym with the hope and wishful thinking that they’ll see results by the time their contract has expired in another year. Most of these people were tricked into signing up for a gym with a flashy “sale” because the sales dude told them “I can only hold this price for you today.” All of these people were wrongfully misled.

This needs to change for the better. Big-box gyms do not care if members see progress. They want to lock them into a contract for a year and hope that they don’t ever use the facility.

Personal training services with results attached at traditional gyms is inaccessible for most. Forward Thinking Fitness aims to fix all of these drawbacks in the industry. They want to improve the quality of living for anyone who is looking to make a change. All of their clients should have an excellent and seamless experience with all of the trainers. The trainers are qualified professionals who care about a member’s journey at their facility. The membership options are innovated to be comprehensive and help any person with any lifestyle to achieve any goal they want. Forward Thinking Fitness members inspire, motivate and encourage the entire community to push past their limits. Forward Thinking Fitness is here to help all members on their own terms. No contracts. No initiation fees. Just results. They’re here to push the pace in the fitness industry… join them!

Lisa Gercie is a 1998 graduate of Lehigh University’s Counseling Psychology program and has practiced in the field for over 20 years. Lisa has studied metaphysics with world-renowned mentors and teachers extensively for the majority of her life. She is a fourth-generation gifted healer and empath, and is also clairvoyant in dream state. Over the years, she has seen her private practice shift and evolve from traditional psychotherapy into the metaphysical realms. In the last few years the majority of her clients have experienced spiritual and metaphysical healings that have granted them a peace and a “knowing” that miracles exist and that we are not alone. Many have spoken of having healings from the angels and the Divine under the hypnotic state, or even in just a relaxed state, which is easy to achieve in the warmth of her peaceful office.

Lisa is also well known in the local community and surrounding areas for connecting people to their departed loved ones under the hypnotic state. This service is unique and different from going to a “medium” because the clients get to connect with their loved ones and pets themselves. Many have seen and felt the essence of their loved ones and have even conversed with them while on Lisa’s healing table, an experience that her clients have called “Experiencing a Piece of Heaven on Earth!”

Lisa is also certified in Dolores Cannon’s famous Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique and provides Past Life Regressions.

Lisa’s new book, The Hypnotic Healer & Divine Connections, is co-authored with Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW, and is due to be released in 2017. Lisa has also been asked to expand her healing mission to reach even more people and will be traveling throughout the country providing audience healings and connections starting in the winter of 2017.
