ELIZABETH TRINDADE
       

Born in Oregon, raised in Seattle WA, Elizabeth spent her formative years studying dance, music and drama at the Cornish Institute of the Allied Arts. When not in school, this outdoor girl headed to the hills to ski, raft, ride horses, and climb Mt Ranier. Intent on pursuing a dance and theater career, Elizabeth moved to New York City and immediately landed a television commercial using her dance and athletic skills, one being the unusual role of a tightrope walker!  With a  SAG (Screen Actors Guild) card under her belt, she continued to study acting at the Actors Studio while balancing the drama of life. Later, these skills would be used in her business and in the art of motherhood.

In 1987, Elizabeth founded Aline Fitness Inc., a personal training firm that catered to in-home clients. The prestigious clientele ranged from Anthony Quinn to Dr. Henry Kissinger. As the clientele list grew, so did her notoriety. She was now a fit wife and business women.

Along came her first baby, Tatiana in 1990 and her life and career took a turn. She created an actual fitness system around a stroller and later turned it into a business. Her company grew quickly from two classes a week to 100 classes a month in NYC. Elizabeth wrote and directed her first Strollercize video and audio tape in 1995, "The Strollercize DVD Workout."  Her second video, " Strollercize Your Waist Away," was produced in 1998 as an ongoing series. In 1999 she was ready to expand her company but her marriage ended and her heart and family seemed broken.

With fitness as her strength and her faith, she continued to run her New York City personal training studio and turned Strollercize into the largest stroller fitness business in the country. In 2001 she wrote her first book, "Strollercize, The New Mothers Workout," published by Random House. But like all roads in life, their are bumps and this stroller fitness queen, took a detour. In 2001,  New York City experienced 9/11 and in 2002 we had the big black out. It seemed a very tough time to take care of a family, run two businesses and deal with a crushing divorce.

As a single mom of three in New York City, it was really tough. The children were getting older and joint custody was not working, nor did she feel it was healthy for the children to go back and forth to different "homes". Stress took over and on top of that she hit the dating world without a instruction book! With the breakup of her four year relationship and a custody battle from hell, she began to focus on a new workout to keep her fit physically and emotionally, "The Breakup Workout." She learned to love the single life and took up golf and flying lessons!

Elizabeth moved to Naples, Florida for a change of scenery and to find the "driving range" in her heart for her family. She accidentally met the love of her life and "Frankly" was not looking for love. The Breakup Workout, worked because she found strength to love herself so she could love and trust again.


Life was all about tennis, golf, alligators and teaching fitness classes  to mature mavens and amazing energetic women of The Worthington Country Club in Bonita Beach FL. In these classes she stressed posture, alignment, finding the swing in life and in golf and how to defend from the 'itises" in our joints and aches in our bones.

Elizabeth understood these aches and pains as being a dancer she dislocated her hip in 2005 teaching a dance aerobic class. Her dance years were now showing up as early arthritis and bursitis and it affected her golf and tennis game. It was even hard for her to demonstrate ab work for her clients cause it was hard to get down to the floor , let alone get back up! But she kept on moven and groven. One night, her  partner, Frank came home and saw her on the floor rocking on a piece of old rolled up carpet. At first look, he was freaked out and thought she had lost her mind. But hey, it is not everyday you see a inventor in action losing her "middle muffin" of madness!

The RollerSizeR a abdominal toning tool was created and all of her clients bought one and their hip and back pain disappeared, just like ELizabeht's. Life was pain free and fit. In her quest to perfect her invention, she accidentally put a nail in her eye. That's right and real nail. This 50 some mom of three, queen of strollers and now the ruler of the "muffin monarch"
created the first abdominal toning tool  that rolls away pain, strain and gets your abs rocken hard. The doctors warned her that she could not do any abdominal work while she went through three surgeries to see if she could see again after tearing her retina. After five months and 35 pounds of fat on her hips, thighs and boobs, she began to Rock n Roll her way back to thin.

Frank her man who saw her through the injury, and drove Miss Lizzie everywhere. Fed her, guided her and frankly became her seeing eye dog. He got a call to go home to Connecticut to run the family CAR WASH. She could not "Wash that man out of her heart" cause he had seen her through her fat and taken her to the finish of the surgeries. Elizabeth now goes back and forth from beautiful Naples where she stays with her dear friend and adopted mom, Barbara and adopted sister Deb. To work and get back her life and pay bills galore, she decided to work in NYC and teach classes and she certifies trainers on line in her WHEEL OF KNOWLEDGE ACADEMY. She loves teaching moms and teaching her trainers. She also lives on her Mac and is easily found in a train, plain and only wishes to visit Spain (To visit my new Certified Instructor Silvana!)

Join her blog and learn how she rolls away pain, rolls away strain and yes, she is still rolling away the rolls, but the bumps in her road in life road are getting smoother cause she has the love and support of her three children that remind her everyday, that being a FIT mom comes in three ways, physical, mental and spiritual.
