Santa Barbara coaching

Built around real movement, real goals, and the body you have today.

Local personal coaching

One-on-one training with Laurence, in person.

No generic workouts and no pressure to fit a system. We start with your goals, your movement history, and the local training setting that fits your life.

  1. 01

    Start with where you train

    Your home, outdoors, Key2Fitness or another local gym where you have access, or a private studio. We choose the setting that makes it easiest to start.

  2. 02

    Train one-on-one

    Every session is coached by Laurence and adjusted for your strength, mobility, confidence, and energy.

  3. 03

    Keep the plan practical

    We repeat what works, progress at a pace you can sustain, and keep between-session homework simple.

Optional between-session support

Local training comes first. The app is only there if it helps.

Most clients simply train with me in person. If you want extra structure between sessions, I can also use the Tip Top Fitness app for workout notes, exercise options, and simple progress tracking.

Laurence is a fabulous trainer and workout coach! As the owner of Rincon Fitness (now Key2Fitness) I watched Laurence help so many people (including my family) improve their strength and conditioning, all with the awareness for safety and proper form.

Laurence has been working with my 91-year-old mom for the past year, after she had been bedridden for over a year and a half. With his steady support and guidance, she's been able to start walking again and regain strength we didn't think was possible.

Family of a client· 5★ Google review

Training with Laurence over the last year has been a stellar experience. The workouts he creates are fun and challenging, and it's been amazing to see how much my fitness has improved since I've been working with him. He's professional and knowledgeable.
