From Restriction to Balance

I’m Laura

Ever since I was little, I struggled with being overweight. I did every single diet under the sun and subscribed to countless health magazines that I would read cover to cover, looking for the magic secret that would help me lose weight. Atkins, Slimfast, the special K diet. You name it, I did it, and each time felt more and more like a failure because of the results I never achieved.

During my senior year of college, I had gotten back from studying abroad and had gained some weight (who doesn’t after 4 months of being in Europe?) and so I did 2 rounds of a “21 day fix” where I ate portioned out food in tiny colored containers for a full 6 weeks. I remember listening to one of the coaches in the introductory video tell her audience “The body doesn’t need THAT much food. We’re just conditioned to think we do.” I felt so shameful of my body and my hunger. Why was I so hungry all the time? What was wrong with me? Why is this so much easier for everyone else?

Today, things look completely different.

I can go on vacation without panicking about food.
I can enjoy cake at a birthday without guilt or starting over.
I move my body because I want to, not because I’m punishing it.
And I actually trust myself to stay consistent — not perfectly, but sustainably.
I’m stronger, more confident, and more present in my life.
And I’ve helped hundreds of others do the same — without giving up the foods they love or spending hours in the gym.

What changed for me was when I stopped trying to be perfect.

I stopped chasing the next quick fix.
And I learned how to build a healthy lifestyle that actually fits my real life — one that teaches me what to do on busy days, slow days, weekends, and everything in between.

That’s the heart of what we do at Laura B Fit Coaching.

When you use our proven 4-step framework, you learn how to stay consistent even when life isn’t — so you can build self-trust, feel good in your skin again, and finally stop starting over every Monday.

BStrong Small Group Training

Most people struggle to stay consistent at the gym — that’s why we created BStrong, a small group strength training program in Willow Glen that helps you build muscle, feel confident, and stay on track week after week (no matter how busy life gets).

The Balanced Body Method

In this 12-week group program, you’ll learn exactly how to lose 10-20lbs pounds while still enjoying your life--so you can go out for pizza on a Friday, hit your workouts even on busy weeks, and wake up on Monday without feeling like you're starting over.
