About the host

Hosted by Lisa Becks

Host profile image
I moved to Gainesville in 2006 to become a gator grad and ended up staying because I fell in love with the city and all it has to offer. I am an avid traveler and enjoy going on outdoor adventures. I'm also a fitness junkie and a huge foodie who loves to try new things!

I am a passionate entrepreneur who owns a personal training business in town called Swamp Fitness. I am also a Realtor and real estate investor. I thrive on having a positive impact on the lives of others.

I love this saying: "Progress not perfection".

My goal as a host is to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed during you stay. :)
