I became a personal trainer because I've been through it. I know where you're at right now. At one point in my life, I was obese and struggled with nutrition and exercise. I didn't know how to accomplish my goals in a healthy way. After a lot of trial and error, my goals happened for me and they happened in a healthy way. The truth is, there are no shortcuts and there are no gimmicks. And you can't hesitate. My goal as a personal trainer is to keep my clients realistic, and to help them accept neccessary changes when working towards their goals. As my client, you will learn to accept challenges and face them head-on without hesitation or fear. We will work together to become the person that you want to be, both physically and mentally. My approach is adaptive, meaning that my training style molds to your needs. Need a drill sergeant? I'm here for that. Need someone to get you out of your head? I'm here for that too. My focus is your progress. ___________ Laura is a nationally certified personal trainer and weight loss specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), with additional certifications in Circuit Training (HIIT), Sports Nutrition (NASM) and Performance Enhancement Specialist (NASM).

Each client is different, and every workout is customized because of that. When I train a client, our workouts are specific to their goals. If they want to build muscle, we focus on sets/reps with rest periods. If a client wants to lose weight, we focus on high intensity or circuit training, all while keeping in mind any physical limitations (injuries, etc.)
Kristine - Lost 20 pounds of fat to prepare for her wedding in 3 months! We worked together to create a program that worked for her. We met 4x per week, for 3 months. She also followed a strict nutritional program, created by me, to reach her goals in time for her wedding! Her initial goal was 15 pounds... she passed that! She continues to train with me, focusing on lean muscle.

Laura is a great trainer! I've been training with Laura for over two years. Since beginning, I've lost 45 pounds and have reached my weight loss goal! We are currently working on gaining muscle and leaning out. She's a wonderful person to be around and a phenomenal trainer. She really cares about your progress. Before her, I had another trainer that didn't check in. We only communicated during our hour sessions. I felt so invisible and like I was just income for that trainer. With Laura, she texts and checks in, and builds a relationship with her clients outside of the hour sessions. I feel this has been a huge part of my success because I truly feel like I have a support system with her. You really can't go wrong hiring her.
Laura is great and I have been working with her for almost a year now! In the beginning, my goals were much different than they are now so my workouts changed over time, but I have never been bored or tired of training with her. My health has improved and my knee pain from being overweight has almost disapperaed! She's very aware and is careful to make sure I am doing the movements right. Sometimes my body and muscles are too tight to properly do exercises she assigns, so we spend time with a muscle recovery sessions, which is nice and appreciated. She is very smart and explains things in ways I can understand. I would recommend Laura for anyone that wants to lose weight and have a nutrition plan to go along with it! Total package of a trainer!
