Hi I’m LAURA

I am the founder of Lively X Studio — a women-focused strength and personal training studio in Palo Alto, California. With over a decade of experience in fitness, nutrition, and behavior change coaching, my mission is to help women build real muscle and a deeper sense of ownership over their health in and out the studio.

Armed with two master’s degrees in nutrition, I am a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. That blend of science and coaching allows me to design programs that are equal parts evidence-based and deeply human, so women feel both educated and inspired—not just “worked out.”

From my days as an NFL cheerleader to leading tech start-ups to now creating transformative training experiences, I have learned that true strength starts from within and is built rep by rep, especially when you are surrounded by the right community.

At Lively X Studio, I have created a sanctuary for women who want to lift heavier, move with more confidence, and feel strong in every season of life. My mission is simple: to help you become the strongest version of yourself—and to remind you that you never have to do it alone!
