Liz Van Winkle
Liz is the Program Director for Columbus Speed School. She oversees the training programming, coach development, special events, community outreach, and overall athlete experience. She loves working with athletes of all ages, building relationships, and challenging them to do their best and push past what they thought was possible.
Coach Liz is originally from Amherst Ohio, where she played varsity basketball and volleyball. Hungry for a challenge and a way to channel her athletic roots, Liz walked through the doors of Friendship Fitness in 2012 as a client and transitioned into a full time coaching role in 2016.
Liz has two daughters, Addie (11) and Tess (9) and is married to Jim, who is a teacher and basketball coach in Hilliard. She enjoys coaching her daughters' basketball teams and watching them compete in soccer, gymnastics, and flag football as well! She is currently the Varsity Assistant Girls Basketball Coach at Hilliard Davidson High School and is in charge of the strength and conditioning program. Liz believes in athletics and fitness as vehicles for character development, mindset training, and skills to use in all areas of life.
