Laura Dooley

I began my fitness journey in 2009, after the birth of my second child. I started running, training for 5Ks and ½ marathons, and taking HIIT classes to get in shape.  I enjoy a busy life as a wife, mother of two children, working as a Reading Teacher and a Fitness Instructor. I have always been passionate about health and well being, as I also have my nursing license (I used to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse).  I appreciate the importance of making time for fitness.

My journey began as a trainee in fitness classes, and in August 2012 I obtained certification as a Group Fitness Instructor through the American Council of Exercise (8/30/12). The previous experience working in healthcare, and teaching classes has been an inspiration to me.  I currently have certification in Personal Training through ACE (4/24/14), and 200 hour RYT (11/2014). I have competed in fitness competitions in 2013 and 2014. I have certification as a Youth Fitness Specialist (4/2018), which I utilize for Youth HIIT classes I teach at the school where I work.  I love being able to be part of something bigger—something that helps motivate others to take the challenge of making healthier lifestyle choices.
