"I am amazed as a 70-year-old woman, I am still strong, active, flexible, healthier and have lots more energy than I think I’m actually entitled to. I attribute this to the training, stretching, balance and mobility work I do with Laura. I have plenty of energy to do whatever I want to do! Thanks to my body and thanks to Laura for helping me make this happen. And training by Zoom? What a blessing to do in my own home, without driving anywhere to get it done!!"

Susan C

"Laura is a very experienced and approachable fitness guru. She takes an interest in you no matter your fitness level. I love during sessions with her, she gives educational tips. Highly recommend!"

Jenny Wu

"I have taken both real-time and virtual yoga classes from Laura. She is stellar at both! She is truly a servant leader being respectful about starting and ending on time and inviting feedback from participants. I especially appreciate that she advises us where we should feel the stretch on new work, and provides gentle correction to keep us from injuring ourselves!"

Melanie Rigney

"I've been attending Laura's zoom yoga class for over a year. She is very knowledgeable about yoga techniques, and makes the class work for people at different levels of fitness. She offers new challenges so that people can progress, while at the same time offers accommodations and is very respectful of people's limitations and injuries."

Linnea Olsson

"If you are looking for a reputable and knowledgeable fitness program, check out the Stiff to Fit program by Laura Dow. She can tailor a fitness program just for you! My wife and I have worked with Laura over a number of years and have found her to be very knowledgeable about the human body. She has developed a fitness program that meets our needs and has worked with us pre- and post-joint replacements. Bottom line: She has been with us every step of the way in reaching our fitness goals. That is why we highly recommend Laura and her fitness training!"

Frank D.

Laura is professional, positive, friendly, understanding and has a deep understanding of training older individuals who have physical limitations.
As my personal trainer, she has developed workouts for me that I can do in the convenience of my apartment and always ensures my technique is correct.
I attend Laura's virtual yoga classes as well. She continually offers both modifications of yoga poses to accommodate class members as well as offers new challenges.
