Lindy Smith

Lindy Smith has been teaching group exercise since 1979 and has spent over a decade specializing in fitness for older adults as an ACE-certified personal trainer and AFAA Group Exercise Instructor. As owner of Upstanding Mobility LLC and a longtime WellWay/Lee Health instructor, she blends the Urban Poling Activator method with physical-therapy-informed balance work, building personalized programs — including tailored classes for clients with Parkinson’s disease and dementia, with more Parkinson’s programming on the way with TriCore. What sets her apart is the experience she creates around the exercise itself: anticipating needs, celebrating progress, and cultivating a warm, welcoming community where every client feels seen — a philosophy that made TriCore’s personalized, holistic approach to wellness feel like home. Beyond the studio and Zoom, she raises chickens and is an avid hiker and LEKI trekking pole ambassador — a fitting second act after years leading marketing for the pole company itself.
