BE A BETTER YOU
ABOUT
LAURA
Welcome to my fitness bubble 👋🏻
Some people know me as Laura, others refer to me as LJ, the rest of the crowd simply know me as ‘abs’. I’ve lived with it since I was 12!
I work with mainly females (and also a small majority of men) but my coaching priority is always the same: To help you become the strongest, healthiest and happiest version of yourself, and lead a life that you actually enjoy.
Here are a few health & fitness facts about me that you probably didn’t know that might help you get to know me ☺️
✨I’ve been overweight, and yo yo dieted on shakes, ‘fat burners’, extreme diets, you name it; because at the time... I didn’t know any better and I was desperate.
✨I have also been underweight. I was wrongly praised for my weight loss as a gymnast when I was at my ‘skinniest’’ and lowest weight. In reality, I was suffering from a mixture of eating disorders; namely bulimia and anorexia.⠀
✨I haven’t always been strong, I was quite sadly the complete opposite. I believed that (like many other females) lifting heavy weights would ok big and bulky.
The biggest changes to my mindset and body started once I focused on performance. This allowed me to become the strongest version of me, both mentally & physically!
✨I used to abuse cardio. To me it was punishment for consuming too many calories or what is simply ‘delicious food’.⠀
✨Believe it or not I still have days where I struggle with my insecurities about my own body and image. But, everyday I’m learning to love me and appreciate what my body can do.
My promise is to always teach other women and men to do the same 🫶🏻
✨ Like most people; I still get a little nervous when I go to a new gym. Which is normal! Because it’s out with my usual comfort zone and my first thought is always, ‘where is the ladies changing room’.⠀
✨I used to let the scales control my life and dictate my self worth - Now I rarely weigh myself at all.⠀
Oh and for anyone curious about my height, you may be surprised to know I measure up to 5 foot 4. I just look like a giraffe in photos….⠀
We have all been beginners at some stage in our life! So my hope is to encourage you to start too, no matter where you currently are on your fitness journey.
