Belong To A Short Height Family. Is There Any Chances To Grow Couple Of Inches?

I just turned 15, female and I'm about 4'10 in height, i come from a short family. My mom is about 5' and my dad is around 5'7. I just started going to the gym every thursday and told my trainer I want to grow a couple inches. Do you think I could grow?
