Meet Laura Garcia
- Out of which Elite locations do you conduct training?
I train at Elite Sports Club-Mequon.
- How long have you been a personal trainer and how long have you worked at Elite?
- What made you want to start working as a personal trainer and/or for Elite?
It was the history! Elite Sports Clubs has been around since the 1980s, and has had impressive innovation and progression ever since!
- What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer?
My favorite part about being a personal trainer is witnessing that moment when a client experiences a spark—when they feel empowered and begin to believe in what they’re capable of. I enjoy building strong relationships and trust so we can work together to set and achieve meaningful goals. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client leave a session feeling happy, confident, and knowing they’re making real progress toward becoming their best self.
- What areas of exercise/fitness do you consider to be your specialty?
Strength training, circuit training, TRX, weight loss, fat loss, building muscle/strength, functional movements, mobility, and core training.
- What has been your biggest personal struggle with health/fitness?
Life is busy. You have to make health & fitness important—because YOU are.
- What has been your biggest personal accomplishment with health/fitness?
Once I ran a full marathon (26.2 miles) nonstop without walking for a single moment. It was rough!
- What advice do you give people who are starting a workout program for the first time or after a long absence?
Give yourself grace. You don’t have to rush in and potentially hurt yourself. The strength will be back before you know it!
- What advice do you give people who are struggling to make health/fitness a priority or are getting bored/burned out?
Make it fun! Get a new water bottle or workout top. Try a new fitness class. Find an accountability partner.
- What personal advice do you give someone who is looking to get to a healthier point in their life in general?
Don’t go to hard too fast—it’s a fast way to get injured. A personal training session would be a good recommendation for this person to learn about proper form, etc.
