If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably thought about having a personal trainer… off in those dreams where you are a Hollywood celebrity and you also have a personal chef, assistant and a million dollar mansion.  After meeting with Laura, however, I realized that not only is having a personal trainer attainable for those of us without an entourage, but it’s such a good idea to help you reach your goals.

Laura is just so down-to-earth.  Not only does she really know her stuff, but she has struggled with her own weight.  She gets it in a way like no other trainer does.  I LOVE this about her.  I also fell in love with how friendly Laura is.  She’s so kind that we all felt tempted to just dump our how-we-trash-our-bodies secrets (y’know, the secret stashes of chocolate, the confession that you can’t touch your toes nor even think about running).  This video shows a sampling of that.. you’ll keep seeing sweet Laura listening to everyone’s confessions (we LOVE you, Laura!!):

The one thing I will say about our night with Laura was that we were all a bit silly… poor Laura.  She was so good at teaching us, but we were even better at getting off topic (especially as the night went on).  Some of my favorite moments (aside from all the fabulous things Laura taught us) were:

Michelle demonstrating an exercise move… actually everyone kind of got into this, but I wasn’t able to get pictures of them… dang it.  Michelle has specifically requested to have more “normal” pictures of her taken and posted in our reviews… but these are just so dang fun!  Love you, Michelle:

All the hilarious things that Kristina, our fabulous guest Sassy, would say.. talk about cracking me up:

Teasing Vanessa about taking off her shirt to show us her guns and washboard abs (is it so wrong to ask for proof that Laura’s training really is effective? …. yeah, probably… and I bet she’ll be mad that I put this picture in… love you, Vanessa!  don’t you dare edit this out!!):

And these were just a small sampling of the hilarity.  It really always is so fun when Sassies get together!  Perhaps if there are enough comments telling Vanessa to show us all her washboard abs and guns, maybe she actually will!  Now, if that’s not fishing for comments, I don’t know what is. ;)

Laura Butters truly is a fabulous trainer and we loved spending time learning from and getting to know her!  For some inspiration, check out her blog, her story and her amazing services and prices.  You’ll be so glad that you did!  And then we’ll be asking to see your washboard abs and guns, too… all part of the fun. ;)
