Lilly Malardie

Lilly has been coaching for 10+ years, and has worked in person, virtually and in the corporate space with various populations across different ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels. She also mentors and trains other coaches to emphasize person-first change utilizing motivational interviewing skills.

Early in Lilly’s career she learned that providing advice or telling others exactly what to do in any lifestyle area wasn't enough. She experienced this first hand in her own journey as well. By using evidence based behavior change coaching, she has witnessed people go far beyond what they had set out to do. They have more compassion, they lead with curiosity, & they build confidence. This continues to motivate her- seeing people experience the success & results they deserve.

Lilly is based in Pittsburgh, PA, with her husband, kids & yellow lab. You can find her on IG @itscoachlilly

Director of Training & Coach Development, Behavior Change Coach

My coaching style is empathetic and compassionate, while striving for problem solving to overcome the obstacles at hand. I like to walk with my clients on their change journey, while they make executive decisions of the options available to them. I love helping clients let go of societal or old expectations of themselves to embrace their true values and goals in life. Taking small sustainable steps at a time can yield big results, while building their tool box of lifelong behavior change skills.
