Laurie was a competitive swimmer as a child and into freshman year of college at Illinois State, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Fitness in 1992. She immediately started personal training from there, and loves making people feel better by showing them they are strong and have endurance to get them through their lives. She aims to make her group classes nurturing and support others’ self-care. In the past, Laurie volunteered for Danskin Team Survivor where she trained breast cancer survivors and those in treatment to compete in triathlons. She was also one of the founding members of the Texas Rollergirls and made flat track roller derby happen in Austin. When she’s not working, Laurie is deepening her Yoga and meditation practices, roller skating at the Veloway, singing in her Christmas band The Blitzens, or spending time with her husband and young daughter.
