Laura has always had a passion for fitness and finding new challenges. She began training in tap, ballet, and jazz at an early age, which led to a spot on the high school dance line team. At 19, Laura began teaching aerobic classes while going to the University of Minnesota.  After graduating from college, she maintained teaching fitness classes but also led a successful career in Advertising for 18 years. While advertising led to many amazing experiences, like shooting Super Bowl commercials with the Coen Brothers, and Willy Nelson, she wanted to make her new family a priority.  Personal training was a perfect path to pursue with her group fitness coaching.

Laura has been coaching fitness classes for 34 years, during that time, she has run 14 marathons, she also holds certifications in STOTT Pilates, CrossFit Level 1, TRX, and Kettlebells. She personal trains and coaches group fitness classes at the Firm, including cycle, HIIT, and strength classes.

Laura is a fan of new approaches, techniques, and equipment challenges. She loves to help everyone meet (and beat!) their fitness goals by keeping workouts fresh.
