Gearing up for 9 rounds this November is Dr. Lori Morgan!

With more than 30 years of experience specializing in neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders, Dr. Lori Morgan is a natural-born Ring Leader. Outside of her work at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Dr. Morgan is on the Day One Fitness Board of Directors and hosts a speak-out class twice monthly at the gym. She's passionate about fighting alongside those withe neurological conditions.

Lori says, "My husband says, ‘I have Parkinson’s, but it doesn’t have me,’ and Day One Fitness embodies that belief by giving people with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions the community, confidence, and opportunity to keep moving forward.”
