About
If you're here because you want to make changes, but find those changes difficult to make, I can definitely help! My name is Laya Gaines, and I've been helping men and women of all ages make those changes easier to accomplish. With over 5 years of personal training experience and a degree in exercise science, I empower individuals to reclaim their strength and restore their balance in life through fitness. While any trainer can lead a workout, few can truly inspire and motivate you to excel beyond the gym. I redefine the trainer-client relationship by fostering a partnership dedicated to your holistic well-being, inside and outside the gym. With me, my education and personal experience, I believe you'll accomplish your goals faster and easier than you thought possible! To help you make the most informed decision possible, I offer you a complimentary, no-obligation training session and consultation. This is a great opportunity for you to meet me, experience a full training session based on your wants and needs, and to check out my private training facility. My goal is to make my training as accessible to as many people as possible, and don't want cost to be an obstacle. To contact me, tap or click "message" for a faster response and I'll reply to you as quickly as possible, usually within just a few minutes! Yours truly, - Laya

I cannot rave enough about Laya and how amazing she is. She is so knowledgeable but also kind and funny - really making the work out experience both a wonderful pleasure but also a serious burn. I also appreciate that she makes it easy to approach, especially for someone who hadn't really done any formal working out before. She's a true gem and fantastic trainer!

Laya is a great communicator. She listens and really hears me. I've had just one training session with her, and I'm confident this is going to be a positive relationship. I know she's going to help me reach my goals.

Went to Laya for back strengthening due to sciatica. Had some sessions with Laya, not only have I gained muscle tone, I am now able to knock out squats! I wasn’t able to do them before.

Before I met Laya, I felt like I couldn’t make progress for more than a week or two, and the ups and downs of losing weight crushed my motivation. When I contacted Laya, she was quick to respond, professional, and understood what I was feeling. Having now worked with her for a few months, I feel so much better—progress is consistent and better managed, and my mood, confidence and optimism have increased with each pound lost. I couldn’t be happier that I contacted Laya and started working with her!
