As a Certified Power Pilates Trainer and a Certified GYROTONIC® Instructor, Laura Benson began learning Pilates in 2001, being drawn to its benefits of leaner muscle, coordination and balance.  She then went on to learn GYROTONIC® in 2008 for its increased range of flexibility and mobilization of joints.  Laura started teaching in 2007 to share all of those benefits with others.  Having always been fitness oriented, she found that Pilates helped to alleviate her own joint and muscle problems.

Laura has pride in her ability to teach to a wide range of clientele – from a healthy athlete to senior citizens, pregnant women to ballet dancers, and people with specific physical issues or injuries.  She is very proud of her dedicated clients and of helping them to achieve their individual fitness goals.
