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 clientèle ranged from
Anthony Quinn to Dr. Henry Kissinger. As the clientèle 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 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.
When the children got a bit older, Trindade headed south as a early "Snow Bird". She took her skills as a personal trainer and started "Tee Time For Fitness" for those in gated communities. 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 Springs Florida. It was this move that would create the next big chapter in this fitness gurus quest to find fitness in every chapter in life. In helping older clients get fit this retired ballet dancer had an old hip injury so getting down to the floor to demonstrate was a big painful ordeal. But it was this pain, that had been with her for years that caused the creation of the greatest fitness tool, The RollerSizeR!.
Trindade, now a better trainer, inventor and even a better mom, devotes her time to training her Strollercize Certified Instructors and her members in The RollerSizeR Web Fit Club.
