Laura coaches general fitness at a CrossFit gym setting.
Athletic Background
Trained seriously in competitive dance and has competed in various CrossFit competitions. Also competed in track and field and cross country. Currently an active recreational runner, plays coed softball, and is learning tennis.
Coaching Philosophy
“My job as a coach is to get you as healthy as possible.”
Coming from a nursing background, Laura thinks about health with a clinical seriousness that most coaches don’t have. Her biggest coaching conviction is one that’s easy to underestimate: consistency matters more than intensity.
“You might not always be able to give 100% in a workout, and that’s okay — it’s more important to show up and give what you can.”
Background & Perspective
Laura is a nurse specializing in solid organ transplant — a field where the stakes of health are as high as they get. That perspective follows her into the gym: fitness isn’t about peak performance moments, it’s about building a body and a life that lasts.
What keeps her training? “Staying healthy for my family and for myself.”
What she loves most about Outlaw North: the members and the friendships the gym has built.
