The Strength & Wellness Studio

An incredible space—physically and mentally—that offers the right amount of challenge and nurturing for any ability level! Especially great for anyone who thinks they will not enjoy strength training, but knows how beneficial it is. Just getting to hang out with Laura and Kerry during my workout is enough to make strength training fun and accessible!

Laura’s gym is the antidote to the big box gym experience. I started going in March and my time there has truly been life altering. I am stronger and happier! Her gym is an accepting and safe space and she’s created a wonderful sense of community. Her classes are fun and tailored to each participant’s needs. I leave each class feeling confident and proud of myself. Love this place!

I have never enjoyed the gym before, mostly because I always felt intimidated, and unsure that I was doing things the right way in front of all the people who looked like they knew what they are doing!Laura's classes are amazing because she is there to show you what to do, how to do it properly and help you push through! In 4 weeks I have had my hands on equipment I never would have used in any other gym.Laura and the space and friendly and inviting. So stop in and try a class! The first one is always free!

The space Laura and Kerry have created is absolutely beautiful. It is warm and inviting, clean and spacious. A truly welcoming and inclusive gym for everyone.Laura is so caring and knowledgeable. She takes the time at each class to explain the movements and provides modifications, if needed.I have learned so much and am developing a range of motion that I didn't think was possible for me.I leave every workout feeling better - mind, body and soul.

This is so much more than a gym- this is a place where you can find your confidence, your strength and what you can accomplish. What has been built here at Strength & Wellness Studios is special- and it is special because of Laura and Kerry. They have taken care to ensure that the feelings that you may feel in big box gyms you simply don’t feel here. You are continuously supported and greeted with a challenge of lifting, pulling and pushing things that even you didn’t know that you could. I have been going here for a couple of month now and I am feeling more confident every time I leave those doors. This is not a gym this is a community.

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about Laura and the Strength and Wellness Studio. My whole life I've wanted to feel comfortable at the gym and never felt like I fit in....until now!! Laura has created the most amazing and welcoming space. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt that I was a part of something so incredibly special. Laura is such a gifted trainer. She educates as she trains and is so patient and kind. I ALWAYS leave feeling so much better than I did when I walked in. I highly recommended checking the studio out. I promise you won't regret it!

I have never felt comfortable in a gym, but after attending one class here taught by Laura, I immediately bought a gym pass.Laura (& her sister) have created such a lovely space. I always leave feeling better. Laura is great at pushing you to do hard things, but in the most caring way possible. If you want to move more and feel better but don't know where to start, here is a great spot! (The first class is free sooooo you might as well try...)

I did the Barbell Basics workshop with Laura and I loved it. Being someone who has always struggled with gym in general, this was just the right thing for me and mainly in a very comfortable and kind environment. I have the motivation to workout but I used to shy away from the squat racks and barbells. Not anymore-I am gonna go and give my best as now I know how to properly engage the core and have the right form. The confidence I got from this workshop was amazing. I am also going to plan and visit this studio for my personal workouts or classes as and when possible. Do not miss this place, the workshop is a huge learning and even the strength class is a confidence booster. Thank-you for a great space!!!!

This is an absolutely beautiful and welcoming space run by co-owners Kerry and Laura! More than a gym, the team behind this business go leaps and bounds to provide a positive, encouraging, and open place to workout and grow. Whether working out on your own or taking a class, this gym is worth your time and your money.I also really want to highlight how amazing the structured training classes are. Co-owner Laura often leads strength classes in the afternoon, and she’s an absolutely incredible coach, mentor and leader. She pays attention to everyone in her class, and is always ready to give you positive reinforcement and tips to make the most of your workout. Her approach to coaching like this is such a breath of fresh air, so if you’re looking for some classes, look no further than this beautiful gym in North Woodside!
