Lanas Health and Fitness Bio

About Lana

Lana Israel grew up in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia before immigrating to the U.S. in 1999. Raised in a military family, she developed a strong work ethic and discipline from an early age. In Soviet education, exercise and nutrition were essential pillars of daily life, sparking her lifelong passion for teaching fitness and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Lana’s approach to exercise is holistic, emphasizing risk-benefit analysis and prioritizing common sense over fleeting fitness trends. She believes that movement should be enjoyable, effective, and sustainable—never rigid or clinical. In her classes, humor plays a key role in creating an engaging and supportive environment.

Beyond fitness and nutrition, Lana has a deep love for languages, history, world cultures, Bollywood dance, travel, space exploration, and evolutionary psychology. She brings this broad perspective to her teaching, making health and fitness not just a practice but a way of life.

Working with Lana over the last 5 years has provided me with the discipline and growth I needed to maintain and constantly improve my fitness and nutritional goals. Her advice is easy to implement and has noticeable results. In addition to excellent exercise coaching, she provides easy to follow recipes for weeknight meals, directions on where to obtain nutritious ingredients from local stores making the entire process a no brainer. Her approach is science based.

Lana has been my fitness guru for over a decade. She maintains my strength, flexibility and cardio fitness, always attentive to form and necessary modifications to accommodate my chronic back and knee injuries. The gray hair is accumulating, but my muscle mass isn’t declining thanks to Lana. I keep coming back because her approach works, and because she keeps it interesting and FUN!

5/5

I always feel better after attending Lana’s fitness class. She is firm, fun and knowledgeable of the human body and how it works. Consistent attendance pays off. Over time I am able to do the things that were initially very hard, and feel challenged each time.

Whenever I attend one of Lana’s classes, I know I’m going to get a good workout and have fun in the process. I feel stronger and in better shape as a result of doing a combination of strength training, aerobic work, and stretching. I can’t recommend her fitness program highly enough. I hope to be able to do these classes for many more years to come.
