Lily Richeson is a certified personal trainer and owner of Pressing on Fitness. She believes that movement based routines and rituals can help heal. Lily creates supportive, non-judgmental relationships with her clients. She encourages others to practice love and compassion for themselves and their bodies, while simultaneously helping them achieve their goals.

Lily has been in the gym since adolescence, but not always for positive reasons. For years of her life she was impacted poor self-image surrounding weight and struggled with disordered eating. It wasn't until she first discovered the power of lifting weights for strength, and the ability of the bike to give you an escape, that exercise could be fun and rewarding in a variety of ways.

Movement became her passion and an outlet to overcome aspects of anxiety and depression. Practicing and competing in powerlifting, and in various cycling divisions has been a transformative experience for Lily. She loves to be active and engage with nature as much as possible through a variety of activities, and encourages clients to explore and connect to their bodies while connecting with the rich environment around them as a way to feel empowered.
