Training Philosophy
Laura has over 10 years of experience working with many different individuals in both a gym and clinical setting. She will help you find your correct path to improved health through evidence-based nutritional guidance and an exercise program that you will enjoy and be able to sustain long-term.
Client successes range from “being able to come off of blood pressure medications” to “first-time bodybuilders taking overall champion titles and becoming nationally qualified”. Laura and her husband both train at the Mecca Gym. They live by “practice what you preach” and by doing so she has done three NPC shows, a spartan race, and several triathlons, and continues to work on her overall health daily.
