Foss Fitness

I started working out with Laura a few months before my wedding and ended up loving it so much that I kept going back – and here we are over a year later! She has truly changed the way I approach exercise and, as a result, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. She is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and the body (i.e. always makes sure I have proper form, modifies moves when necessary, answers all of my questions thoroughly, etc.) and constantly introduces new exercises to our routines, so workouts are never boring. She’s very professional and responsive, which makes communication and scheduling a breeze. On top of all that, she has the most positive, upbeat, encouraging attitude, which makes our sessions enjoyable and keeps me pushing myself. I highly recommend working with her!

I worked with Laura for pre-​natal training and she was great! I always looked forward to a new and interesting workout each week. She challenged me to push myself and I always got a great workout. Highly recommend working with her! I look forward to continuing my sessions pre and post baby.

I found Laura through Gilt City and thoroughly enjoyed my workouts with her. She was well prepared, attentive, and challenging. Each workout was entirely different and I was pleasantly sore afterwards. I definitely plan to continue training with her!

I got a gilt package for 6 training sessions with Laura. She is very professional, but also very personable. Laura is knowledgeable in fitness and I felt like the exercises we did were tailored for me-​not just some cookie cutter fitness regimen. Laura pushed me to learn new things about my body-​my strengths and capabilities, but she always made sure I did things safely and that I was not overexerting myself. I will miss working out with her!

Laura started training me 7 weeks post-​baby and I loved her because:
–I’m not one of those people that self-​motivates and consistently goes to the gym. I need someone to tell me what to do, to challenge me, and to keep things interesting
–She’s very prepared, I loved the survey she had me fill out before our first session. I definitely felt like she digested the information from the survey and from our early workouts, then customized my workouts towards achieving my goals
–She’s thorough and encouraging, I always feel like I’m getting her full attention. She corrects my form without making me feel like I’m doing things totally wrong.
–She mixes it up, she taught me new exercises every session so that I never got bored
–She’s willing to help, she’s happy to offer advice and is available for questions outside of sessions
–I definitely feel like I’ve lost weight and toned up since starting my workouts with Laura
Thanks to Laura, my new goal is to look even better than I did pre-​baby :)

Laura is one of the most professional and caring personal trainers I know. She truly cares about her clients and she gets results. Not only does she have a great knowledge of exercise science, she also understands people, and how to motivate the workouts so that they are fun AND effective. She will give you her undivided attention during every training session and will keep close track of your progress. As a fellow trainer, who has worked with Laura for 8 years, I can’t recommend her more. She is a joy to be with and will make you feel good about your body and your fitness progress.

Training with Laura is a great experience — she understands the fine line of challenging you but not making you feel completely destroyed. An hour with Laura is fun, motivating, and worth every penny. She’s a great role model and has helped me develop those habits I need to stay healthy for the rest of my life.

I have been training with Laura for several years, and she took me from being afraid of exercise to, if not quite being a jock, at least feeling strong and healthy and staving off office-​worker spread. My friends even ask me for exercise tips now! She is particularly excellent at mixing up our workouts, bringing in new moves constantly and ramping up difficulty levels when she can tell I’m able. I train with her at a gym in Manhattan that is convenient to my office. I would recommend Laura to anybody looking for a positive and knowledgeable trainer.

I have been a client of Laura’s for over 4 years. Since I have started working out with her, I am much more fit, with higher cardio capacity and increased strength through increased muscle mass. The work outs have lots of range, from running stairs, working with TRX bands and various free weights and weight machines, so I never get bored.
Laura will create a fitness regimen based on any areas that the client wants to focus on but also integrates her own expertise in making the client stronger. She is also extremely motivating and takes the extra step with her clients to help with diet, independent work outs and really any other advice that the client asks. There aren’t any other trainers in the city that I have stuck with for anywhere as near as long as I have been working with Laura!
