Laura Kelly

I have been involved in the sports and fitness world for over a decade. As a teenager I got my first job as a pool lifeguard, then a swimming instructor, and water aerobics teacher. I helped with the competitive swim and water polo teams and enjoyed an informal game with the other pool staff.

I met my husband in 2006 while I was working at the local gym; first as a front desk associate and then later as a personal trainer. We were married in late 2007 and welcomed our first child at the end of 2008. I am a proud Navy spouse, and we are now are the proud parents of three amazing little people. We're having a great time instilling in them the passion that we have for living a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Our youngest child was born in early June, a beautiful 8 lb 14 oz little girl. She and her brother and sister (almost four years and two years old respectively) are the light of my life, but as any mother can tell you, back to back pregnancies (heck any pregnancy) will do a number on your body. I've technically been a Beach Body coach since the beginning of my pregnancy (we didn't know yet), but with a new house, toddlers, and a complicated pregnancy it's difficult to stay motivated and focused.

I can't really pinpoint the specific instant that it all clicked for me, but I can say that all I have heard the past nine months (while on restricted activity during my pregnancy) is how amazing P90X 2 is, how fabulously effective Insanity is, and how yummy Shakeology is. I've seen pictures, read testimonials, and seen real life results. Now that I'm cleared for workouts I've got Tai Cheng and P90X staring me in the face and my new triple jogging stroller is waiting for its introduction to the road. Beach Body just fits into my life. I am still a certified fitness trainer and I also hold a specialty certification in fitness nutrition.

As a coach it is my job and my pleasure to help others achieve their dreams. I try to lead by example; every success that I have is another chance to motivate someone else to start their journey, and every person whom I get to help achieve a goal... that motivates me. Beach Body has given me the opportunity to network with like minded people, to pursue my personal goals, and to do something that I love (coaching). Its pretty fantastic!
