Meet Ultimate Hoops Trainer Lorenzo Orr

Lorenzo Orr was Ultimate Hoops’ first trainer at Life Time. His program in Lakeville, MN started in 2010 and is the longest running program in the company.


Courtney Kavanaugh: Thank you for sitting down with me, Lorenzo and your dedication to Ultimate Hoops. Tell me…what’s your ‘why’?

Lorenzo Orr: The sport of basketball has given me so many amazing opportunities! My ‘why’ is to take the experiences that I have had and use them as fuel to give back to the athletes I train.

CK: What Is Your Proudest Training Moment?

LO: There have been so many great moments, but one of the best happened just recently. I trained my first member at Life Time just over 7 years ago, during which I filmed the session.

A few days ago, I came across this video and could not believe the incredible progress he had made, it was so rewarding to see this player evolve into an athlete.

CK: What Is Your Greatest Basketball Accomplishment?

LO: My greatest basketball accomplishment was definitely when I played 1:1 with Michael Jordan at a camp I attended several years back.

CK: What Is Your Favorite Basketball Moment?

LO: Getting the chance to see myself on the big screen when I played basketball in a few scenes of the movie The Sixth Man. It was such a fun and rewarding experience.
