Review №1

Working with Laura was the best decision I ever made. I lived with lower back and shoulder pain for 6+ years caused by an injury from a car accident. My movement was restricted by pain. Working with physical therapists and other professionals helped temporarily alleviate the pain, but I couldn’t fully get past it. She was the first professional who was able to help me overcome the pain and start to build muscle. In three months, I was able to deadlift 150 lbs. when I first started I could barely squat. She’s really passionate about helping her clients and meeting them at their level. She makes training a comfortable and safe environment. I couldn’t recommend working with her enough!

I highly recommend Laura for personal training, building strength after completing physical therapy, and a beginner friendly approach to building a workout routine!I have been working out with Laura for 6 months. I started personal training with her after completing some physical therapy, and I wanted to continue to build my strength in hopes of reducing my daily pain. Of course results may vary, but I have had a great reduction in pain from daily to weekly to a rare occurrence over the months. I truly believe working out and focusing on building strength in my weak areas was a big contributor to my progress. She pushes me harder than I would myself, and has really challenging, fun workouts.I meet with her once a week in a small weight training gym and do 2-3 at home workouts that she plans. I had been dealing with consistent shoulder/ trap pain and a weak lower back that often caused pain after heavy lifting. I think Laura was a perfect fit for my goals, and proved herself to be very knowledgeable about what workouts were needed for my individual case. She taught me how to get comfortable with weight training, and I now feel confident doing barbell workouts without injuring myself. She’s educational about correct form, which was something I was really looking for. When I feel pain after a certain exercise she always takes that feedback into account for the next workout.If you want a highly educated and helpful trainer Laura Su is the way to go!

I have been training with Laura for 9 months/ 2x a week and I hope it doesn’t stop anytime soon. She has helped me achieve the goals I came to her with and more! It is evident that Laura has put in the time and work to become a knowledgeable, well rounded and patient :) trainer. She takes the time to understand what you want and need out of personal training and does a great job of checking in for potential adjustments. I have not had a session yet where Laura hasn’t kept me motivated to keep pushing so that I can continue to be stronger. She also does a great job of mixing things up and keeping things fun! I feel very lucky that I get to work with Laura and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to live a healthy and strong life.

I highly recommend Laura for anyone interested in learning how to lift heavier weights. Through working with her, I gained the confidence to do compound lifts like squats and deadlifts on my own. Laura is knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and great at explaining how to adjust or improve your movement patterns. If you are considering Laura, her website and Instagram are an accurate representation of her approach to fitness and training— looking through these is how I made my decision!

Laura is very knowledgeable with her work. Laura cares for her clients and genuinely wants to see them succeed! There is no cookie cutter layout, everyone is different and Laura takes the time to figure out what works best for each individual. Highly recommend LS Training for anyone who is serious about their health and fitness goals! You won’t regret it.

Ive had quite a few personal trainers at this point in my 10+ year long fitness journey. But as a woman with chronic health issues (PCOS, PMDD, endometriosis, Hashimotos, and hypothyroidism - ones that so many women face), Id consistently find my body at odds with the approach of trainers who didnt understand these types of illnesses or didnt want to spend the time to. I often felt really lonely and discouraged on my journey, and found Laura through a friend who said she has an empathetic and encouraging trainer. Laura takes a science and evidence-based approach to her training that Ive never seen before - I remember one session she was SUPER excited to tell me about a large book on womens hormones she had purchased and couldnt wait to read.This is the first time in my fitness journey that Ive felt inspired, heard, understood, motivated, and happy all at the same time - AND have not left with an injury! Laura is so thoughtful about working with injuries and just LISTENING to what her clients need instead of running through the same canned HIIT routine for every client she sees. I can honestly say that after working with Laura for a few months, fitness no longer seems like something only people without chronic illness can pursue. My muscle mass is up, my body size is down, my nutrition supports my health, I have a fully functioning for the first time in my life, and I no longer have an unhealthy view of food. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Laura Su is one of the only trainers I have ever referred people to, both from a personal trainer capacity, and a physical therapist assistant capacity. What that means to me is she is someone who will pick up where physical therapy left off, without aggressively progressing or drastically regressing. That also means that she will focus on the right things in the personal training capacity such as health, good nutrition advice, vs getting caught up with an unhealthy body image emphasis.Laura is young in age but she is experienced. She has been working for a couple years, but she puts in the work! She reads and reads, and trains over 40 hours each week.I really cant say enough good things about her. If you give Laura a shot and actually take her advice you wont regret it. You will be doing exercises that are well researched, vs getting caught up on what looks cool on Instagram. You will also be encouraged to focus on health which is so important to a long sustainable lifestyle instead of crushing you for a few weeks and leaving you feel worse than you were. This is very common in the fitness industry.There are a lot of horrible trainers out there. I dont need to point out who. Its just important to know when you have a good one vs a bad one. Bad ones dont read, they dont keep up to date on research, they dont care about long term, they only focus on immediate results and what looks cool. Dont do that to yourself, pick a good one like Laura Su.On a personal note, Laura is someone who has helped me with both nutrition and exercises. I am lucky because I have a large support group of fitness professionals, but I consider Laura to be one of the best ones.

For those of you looking for a personal trainer, coach, and just all around great person to have in your corner, then you need to connect with Laura. Ive had a bad experience in the past with training and trying to learn how to body build, build strength, and just grow in general. Laura is very thorough in her knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and the science behind anatomy and physiology (which is probably my favorite part, since I am a science nerd). Ive always been super skinny and not naturally strong. Laura has helped me to build my strength, size and confidence in my self. I feel more confident in navigating training on my own now, to a certain extent, and I always know that if I have a question, Laura will give me an answer, or she will research it. Seriously, if you are on the fence about investing in a personal trainer, then look no further.Sincerely,Chris

Professional and effective personal training! Laura is knowledgeable and communicative, ensuring that exercises are preformed safely and effectively. Her workouts are individualized, taking note of all your needs and previous injuries. As an added bonus, she brings so much fun with her into the gym and her workout plans. Could not recommend LS Training more!

I appreciate how much Laura helps with even the slightest change in movements and explains how everything works in one motion. she’s very well educated in her profession and is more than happy to help with any questions and/or concerns. i love the fact that if she doesn’t have an answer at the time, she’ll have it in less than 24 hours. she’s amazing and will make you put in work but also makes fitness fun. i’ve learned so many new workouts and techniques with her and even learned that i can work through some pains that, before, i would always stop everything and call it quits. hence no results. but now i’m seeing and feeling results every week. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Laura is awesome, and a great trainer if youre looking for someone to take your whole life into account when designing a program. Her remote training has been thorough and she makes sure to keep you on track, but is understanding if something happens and you miss a workout. Could not recommend her more!

Having never worked out formally, I knew I would need help. I found LS Training and within a week, Laura Su had me feeling quite an improvement. Laura has a keen eye and can detect the most minor incorrect movements, keeping me from injury. Laura has a wealth of information about all things body related and has kept me on track with proper nutrition as well. I have been working out with Laura since April and I cannot believe the improvement with strength and balance. My general feeling of well being has improved as well. Joining LS Training was the best thing I have done for myself! Thank you Laura Su!

Laura was attentive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to! I dont have much experience lifting or working out in a gym environment, and she immediately made me feel comfortable. I felt confident in following her instructions and performing the movements correctly and safely. The workout was tailored to my ability and my interests. I look forward to continuing with this workout on my own and seeing Laura for another session in the future!

Laura is hard working and amazing. Ive been training with her for an year now and she always gives me that extra push that I always needed to get myself into the gym and be conscious of my diet. Highly recommend her personal training program.

Laura is great about finding fun and different ways for you to achieve your goals. She is also very knowledgeable on how to regress/progress an exercise based on your experience/skill level.
