About Laura
I am a personal trainer and nutrition coach who's been helping clinets get stronger, leaner, and more confident for over a decade. My approach is simple: consistency is key , and everything is a choice. I combine smart strength training with practical nutrition so. my clients see real , sustainable results-not quick fixes.
I've completred multiple triathlongs, including Half Iron Man, and I bring that same discipline and energy into every session. I'm equal parts drill sergeant and motivator-I'll push you, but you will always leave feeling proud of what you just accomplished.
My favorite client story
I met M four years ago. She was 205lbs. 5'2". She wanted results but just could not seem to adhere to a plan. She offered every excuse. I called her out on every one of them. Hardwork, tears, arguments and long conversations finally got her to her goal of 135lbs. Shortly after she met her goal she apologized to me. M ran into an old friend who had gained some weight. After their conversation, M called me to let me know what she heard. She heard herself and all of her original excuses of why she couldn't stick to a plan. M sees the world so differently now. I am so proud of her!
My favorite exercise
I'm a big believer in basics done well. My favorite exercises are the ones that deliver the most results: squats, deadlifts, presses and rows. If it builds strength, improves body composition and translates to real life, I'm in. I also love mixing functional and athletic movements-thing like carries, sled work, and core training that actually means something beyond the gym.
My favorite quote
Everyone has plan until they get punched in the face.
My training philosophy
results come from consistency , not perfection. Everything is a choice-how you train, how you fuel your body, and how you show up day to day. I focus on smart, progressive strength training paired with practical nutrition. No gimmicks, no wasted time-just a clear plan that helps you build strength, improve body composition and feel better in your body.
Training should challenge you, but it should also be sustainable. My job is to meet you where you are, hold you accountable , and move you forward-so this becomes something you can do for life, not just for now
My training experience
I've been a personal trainer for over a decade, working with a wide range of clients-from complete beginners to experienced athletes. I started in martial arts, teaching both kids and adults before transitioning full into strength and fitness training.
After recovering from a torn ACL & meniscus , I found endurance sports and went on to complete multiple triathlons , including Half Iron Man.. That experience shaped how I train today-combining strength, endurance, and smart progression.
I am certified through The American College of Sports Medicine and Precision Nutrition , which allows me to coach both training and nutrition for a complete, result driven approach

Training Areas Served
I spent too much time stressing about work and not enough time taking care of my health. 12 months of stress eating and minimal exercise put my weight were it did not belong. Then came Laura. The best part of the plan was it was a mutual plan. We discussed my preferences as well as my history. I like to keep moving. Once I get started, I don't want to have time to stop. She kept the pace going but also made sure I didn't over do it (as men are known to do). While I have seen a drop in numbers on the scale, I am most inspired by the reduction of inches. Clothes that I stopped wearing are now back in rotation. It isn't easy and there will be soreness but it is better than the alternative.
I have been training with Laura for nearly a year. As a fitness trainer, she has a great passion for fitness and has the ability to motivate me to reach my fitness goals. She has a large degree of understanding of the body system and nutrition as well. She is a student of her craft, because she continues to educate herself on new fitness methodologies and shares them with her clients. She is very energetic, enthusiastic, and enjoys helping me to reach my goals. In addition, she is always interested in listening as she is in teaching. In closing, working with Laura has educated me to the importance of fitness workouts for the longevity of my physical and mental health systems. Moreover, when I receive compliments from other individuals about my physical transformation over the past year is just another confirmation that she is an AWESOME FITNESS TRAINER.
You will never find a trainer better than Laura Irving. She knows the body and how it works. Laura is supportive, encouraging, and will make you work harder than you believe you can. You will get results and feel better than you ever have before. I recommend Laura Irving without any reservation.
Fabulous trainer.
This was my first time working with a trainer so I really didn’t know what to expect. Laura explained everything we were doing and why. Looking forward to next workout.
Life Changing! Laura Irving will totally change your life, make you strong, healthy, AND believe that you CAN do it! I’ve worked with Laura for almost 4 years and have gone from never working out, to doing something every day.
Laura is an amazing trainer. She knows how to push you to where you want to go, but not so much that you want to give up. She has a great personality and truly cares about her clients.
Training with Laura Irving was an incredible experience. I found Laura Irving through FYT when we lived in Westchester County. Laura is amazing! She challenged and pushed me to be better and stronger while explaining what muscles we were training and how I benefit. She is, not only educated on the physical being, but helped me with advice on diet and nutrition. An added bonus; Laura has a great personality and is kind and funny. Sadly, we moved and I can no longer benefit from Laura's training, I do, however, feel I have a friend forever.
Laura is a wonderful trainer. She is very prompt and caring. I highly recommend her.
Laura is the Best :-) Laura is wonderful to work with. Endlessly encouraging and terrific at mixing things up so the workouts are always interesting and challenging. I'm very grateful she is helping me become fit.
