“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.”
How weight loss actually works here
- Strength training first — builds the metabolic engine that keeps weight off
- Practical nutrition guidance, not crash diets
- Weekly habit check-ins so changes compound
- Programs scale from total beginner to "I lift but I'm stuck"
Frequently asked
- Will you put me on a diet?
- No. Diets fail. I help you build sustainable food habits that fit your life — not a 30-day menu plan.
- How fast will I see results?
- You'll feel stronger in a few weeks. Body composition usually changes meaningfully around the 8–12 week mark when you're consistent.
- I'm embarrassed to start. Is this judgmental?
- No. I work one-on-one — no group classes, no mirrors-everywhere gym. Most clients start where you are.
