Lucas was nominated by a BE Fitness Member. This is what they had to say: “I would like to nominate Lucas Nelson, a dedicated personal trainer at Be Fitness in Delafield. Lucas created the Be Sports Performance program, where he trains student-athletes across the Lake Country area, helping them reach their full potential. In addition to group training, he works one-on-one with students to refine their skills in specific sports. His expertise extends beyond athletes— he trains individuals of all ages, including myself. At 72 years old and living with MS, I have worked with Lucas for over five years, and his guidance has been instrumental in helping me manage my symptoms. His dedication and impact make him truly deserving of this recognition.”

My favorite thing is the diversity that this community has to offer. From fancy restaurants to a couple local dive bars, you literally have everything at your fingertips.

John Gehl, Faye Gehl Conservation Foundation. With all this development going on around this area, John’s vision is preserving the landscape back to its original state, prairie, undeveloped, farm to table. His vision is a dream of mine.

Where to Find Lucas Nelson
Nice To Meet You:
I believe in positively impacting my clients and the community I live in, which is why I jumped at the chance to be an ambassador with “The Faces of Lake Country”. It’s a perfect blend of why I enjoy being a Realtor with Shorewest, Realtors, and everything I love about living in Lake Country.
I truly enjoy being a part of this community and helping others along the way. Prior to real estate, I was an Office Supervisor for the City of Waukesha Park & Recreation Department. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with many business owners and serve the general public. It was there that I realized that it really does take a village to make a community great and each and every one of us plays an important role.
