Built to Move Training

Who I Help

I work with individuals who want to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and feel confident in how their body moves. Many of my clients are adults focused on staying active, preventing injury, and maintaining independence as they age. I work with both men and women, with a strong focus on helping clients return to movement after periods of inactivity, stress, or life changes..
Programs are designed specifically for each individual’s goals, fitness level, and physical needs.

Training Philosophy

My training approach focuses on functional strength and mobility, movements that support real life activities like walking, lifting, balancing, and maintaining healthy posture.
Rather than extreme workouts, training is designed to build sustainable strength, improve mobility, and support long-term joint health.

Where Training Takes Place

Training is designed to meet you where you are, making movement a natural part of your everyday life:• In-home personal training (in your home)
• Outdoor training (local parks and green spaces)
• Community / neighborhood spaces
• Your neighborhood gym or residential fitness facility (where permitted)
• Virtual coaching options availableServing the Charlotte, NC area
Focused on Ballantyne, Marvin, Waxhaw, NC & Indian Land, Fort Mill, SC.

About Laura

Laura is a personal trainer with over a decade of experience helping clients improve strength, mobility, and overall movement quality.As a mom of three, she understands the real-life balance of family, health, and everyday responsibilities. Her approach is shaped not only by her professional background, but by her personal journey.After years in a sedentary role and a cancer diagnosis that left her severely deconditioned, Laura experienced firsthand what it feels like to lose strength, confidence, and connection to your body. Rebuilding from that place transformed her perspective and deepened her understanding of what clients truly need.She is passionate about helping others rebuild strength, move with confidence, and feel strong in their bodies again—no matter where they are starting.Outside of training, Laura values her faith, time in nature, and being with her family. She enjoys hiking, mountain biking, strength training, painting, gardening, and cooking, and is continually expanding her knowledge in health and wellness to better support her clients.

Why I started Built to Move

My belief in the importance of strength and movement grew from seeing how quickly the body can decline when movement is removed.
After years in a sedentary role and experiencing significant deconditioning myself, I gained a deep appreciation for how essential consistent movement is—not just for strength, but for confidence, energy, and everyday life.
That experience reshaped my perspective and led me to create Built to Move, a space dedicated to helping others reconnect with their bodies, rebuild strength, and move with confidence.

1. Jackson-Pollock 7-Site Skinfold Measurements

Performed every 4–6 weeks to track changes in body composition. Using calipers, measurements are taken at seven areas of the body to estimate body fat percentage.
This provides a more detailed view of progress beyond the scale and helps guide training and nutrition decisions.

2. Movement Assessment & Posture Snapshot

The assessment is the starting point for all training, allowing me to evaluate your movement, posture, strength, and mobility.We review foundational patterns such as squatting, hinging, lunging, pushing, and pulling to understand how your body moves.Why It Matters?
