Lydia Horner-Sweetser


I always knew I wanted to be a personal trainer, realizing that I could help others with their fitness goals and also be able to help people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually though lifting heavy things and putting them back down. I used to watch shows like “the biggest loser” in high school and got inspired to be someone who helps others navigate the gym and their own bodies.

I grew up outside of Lexington, Kentucky in a small town and began personal training as I put myself though college. My goal is for you to understand that working out can actually be fun, not something you dread. I love to find workouts that work for YOU. Once you find what your body responds to, the possibilities are endless. You become stronger, more confident, more energized, and overall just a better version of yourself.

Outside of working at various gyms as a personal trainer, manager, mentor, and nutrition coach over the last 10 years, I have a love for the stage. I started competing in bodybuilding in 2018, and have done a total of 6 shows competing in the Figure, Wellness and Bikini divisions. I will be prepping for my next show fall of 2023 at an attempt at attaining my pro card. Bodybuilding and being able to show off the hard work and mental toughness is something I take a great deal of pride in.

Outside of the gym, my hobbies include reading a good book, photography, laying out in the sun, spending time with friends and family and enjoying a good burger & fries on the weekend. I live in the Fishers area with my husband - after finally talking to my gym crush, working out together and a couple of priceless dates, fast forward and we ended up getting married in 2021. My husband Michael is a Registered Dietitian, and a lover of the gym as well, as many call us the dynamic duo!

Whether you have been lifting for years and just want some refreshers or are just now starting your fitness journey, my goal is to help you build muscle and get you the body that you are looking for. We will use a variation of strength and resistance training, body weight and cardio to carve out the body of your dreams. You just have to take a leap of faith and invest in yourself!
