Elisabeth Saunders

I’m Elisabeth Saunders aka Lis Smash. I am a strength coach, powerlifter and event director in Atlanta, Georgia.

I am the Georgia state record holder in the squat for the 72kg open class, and I have held seven other Georgia state records. I love powerlifting because it challenges me to build strength physically and mentally. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment after a tough training session, and I love the camaraderie of the strength community.

Over the past 10 years I have helped thousands of people move better and get stronger. I enjoy helping people discover their unique strengths. Quite often, I work with clients who never enjoyed working out before. Helping people learn to move their bodies and use strength training to gain confidence and age more gracefully is my reason for coaching.

I also host strength benefits, which are unique fundraisers that help people discover the joy of stepping on to a powerlifting platform, while also raising money for amazing non-profit organizations.

I discovered NOW in 2009. At the time I was coaching CrossFit and eating a strict paleo diet. I began taking NOW^® Super Enzymes for digestion support.* Today I eat for performance, and shoot to hit a daily protein goal. I still take Super Enzymes daily to improve my gut health, along with NOW^® Women’s Probiotic.*

My nutrition and supplementation routines are just as important as my training regime is, to help me get stronger and stay injury-free. I trust NOW products to help me be the best version of myself. What will you do today to become a better you?
