PT Clients Reviews
Susanna
"I’ve been training with Laurena for a little more than a year now, and I am more than happy with the progress I’ve made with her. I think the best coaches are the ones who deliver the results you want to see and also positively impact your mindset and perception towards health and fitness. Laurena is one of them.
Not only does she cater to my strength and physique goals through her programs, she also influences me to approach fitness with patience and intention. She encourages and motivates me to push my limits and reminds me that “if you believe you can do it, you can do it” whenever I doubt myself. And she has such a fun and bubbly personality, it makes every training session so much more enjoyable!"
Alessia
"Laurena and I have been training together for almost a year. I was intrigued by her past achievements and the extremities of what her body was capable of, but I wondered if she might be too advanced for me at the time. But within the first session, she demonstrated trust, patience, and guidance and worked well with my limitations.
Fast forward to now, and I can do my splits on both sides, a goal I had been working on (inconsistently) for 7 years before I met her. We are now starting to work on back mobility, and I feel like my training with her is never-ending. There will always be something I want to achieve, and I know that she will be able to get me there."
Grace
"Laurena is a great personal trainer and the greatest inspiration for both physical and mental health. I had very little to almost zero workout knowledge before I met her, and I was not confident to walk into the gym and train by myself due to my lack of knowledge. She helps me understand my body, sustainable training, and introduced me to calisthenics as well. I can confidently say that I've become excited to walk into the gym and enjoy weight training. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for great quality personal training."
