Laura has lived and practiced what she coaches her athletes today, since high school.

Her strength training journey started 22 years ago in high school as a cheerleading captain and in Athletic Training class, where she found that being strong truly challenged her and brought her joy. She quickly learned that these strength training workouts would increase her strength and enhance her endurance in cheerleading.

After high school, without cheer practices, games, and Athletic Training, she knew she did not want to lose all the strength she had built. She joined a gym and instantly knew going to the gym would be a consistent part of her college life. Her enjoyment and glow while there brought an opportunity from the staff to start teaching classes, and members began requesting one-on-one personal training from Laura due to the results from her classes alone.

After getting certified, her journey into personal training took off. She started training clients at a gym in Chicago while attending full-time classes at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Having graduated during the recession in '09, she decided to stay with her full-time training schedule. Training clients privately in their homes and teaching corporate wellness classes downtown Chicago

was a passionate and fulfilling role that has continued to evolve.

To better understand her clients' journeys, she decided to compete in 2 fitness competitions in 2011. She would take 3rd and 2nd place, and this would change her discipline and drive involving fitness nutrition and strength training. 

She has trained many brides-to-be, getting them in the best shape of their lives both in person and online. 

In 2015, Laura shared her fit pregnancy, followed by a postpartum journey, which inspired many worldwide. After the birth of her daughter, many were requesting online personal training, and that is when she created her own fitness app. She also trains pregnant and postpartum women with testimonials to back up her expertise. 

Her online training app brings Laura's fitness and lifestyle philosophy of balance and ease to anyone, anywhere, anytime. With clients coast-to-coast, Laura uses the LR Grace Personal Training app, to deliver personalized workouts, sustainable lifestyle tips, and healthy, fresh recipes. Her clients love her app because it delivers real, measurable results and is sustainable and tailored to the client. She is the one designing the clients' workouts with what equipment they have to get them to their desired goals.
