Here's what that means for you:

You won't get cookie-cutter workouts that ignore your schedule, your body's needs, or your life circumstances. Instead, you'll receive programming designed specifically for your movement patterns, your accessibility, and your goals.

We start with alignment because when your body moves well, everything else follows—strength, confidence, and freedom from pain. This isn't about quick fixes or dramatic transformations. It's about building a foundation that supports you through every season of life.

Why Me?

I'm a trauma-informed personal trainer and coach, certified through Katie Kurtz. This means I understand how to create safe spaces for healing your relationship with movement—without pushing you beyond your boundaries or making assumptions about what your body "should" do.

My clients include women and folks navigating perimenopause, recovering from injuries, returning to movement after years away, and anyone tired of fitness programs that demand you change your entire life to see results.

What Makes My Approach Different:

Your nervous system matters. We can't separate mind from body, so my programs account for stress, sleep, life transitions, and how your body responds to different types of movement.

Alignment comes first. Before we add weight or intensity, we ensure your body is moving in ways that support long-term health and prevent injury.

Your life doesn't revolve around workouts. My programs adapt to your schedule, your equipment access, and your energy levels—not the other way around.

No diet culture. Ever. We focus on what your body can do, not what's "wrong" with it.

Together, we'll transform your potential into tangible progress.

You're not just getting another personal trainer—you're partnering with a specialist who understands women's unique fitness challenges and has dedicated their career to creating safe, inclusive, and effective movement practices.

Laura Thomas Fitness Coaching & Business Philosophy

I've done and continue to do anti-racism work. I believe abortion is healthcare, and Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA lives matter.

I value connection and communication. I take a human-first approach, getting to know you beyond your physical goals while honoring your consent and personal boundaries.

I don't judge capabilities based on age, race, body type, sexuality, or other personal identities. Movement should never be painful or triggering.

I admit when I don't have answers and will refer you to other professionals when needed. Movement isn't a substitute for therapy, and I'll suggest additional support if it would serve you.
