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.
