“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.”

“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.”
“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.”

Looking for form and movement guidance?
I keep a short corrective exercise library with general guidance for common form problems such as rounded backs, knee cave, shoulder shrugging, and hip shifts. These resources are educational and are not a diagnosis or treatment plan.
Frequently asked
- I'm still seeing a physical therapist. Can we still train?
- Possibly. Ask your physical therapist whether personal training is appropriate before we start. With your permission, I can follow their exercise restrictions and guidance. Personal training does not replace physical therapy.
- I'm worried about re-injuring myself.
- We begin conservatively, use manageable progressions, and stay within your current exercise clearance. If symptoms need clinical assessment, I will pause training and refer you back to your physical therapist or doctor.
- When is post-rehab personal training appropriate?
- It can be appropriate after your physical therapist or doctor has cleared you for non-clinical exercise. I can help rebuild general strength, mobility, and confidence, but I do not diagnose injuries or provide rehabilitation or physical therapy.
