Meet Laura! 🤍

Laura is the definition of consistent. She shows up ready to work, gives every workout her all, and always brings such a kind, positive energy to the studio. She’s incredibly sweet, works hard every single class, and is the type of person who makes Ripped a better place just by being here.

We’re so lucky to have you as part of the Ripped family, Laura! ❤️

What brought you to RippedPHL?

I used to play a lot of different sports in high school and college and really missed having set workouts and being part of a team. I was newly single and looking to make some major glow-up to my daily routine and found Ripped to be the perfect fit for me. 

What’s your favorite part about working out here?

I absolutely love the culture at Ripped, everyone is so kind and friendly. The workouts can definitely be tough, especially after a long day at work, but hearing all the instructors be so encouraging and being surrounded by others also putting in work is super motivating! Also the playlists all seem meticulously curated to each workout and make me feel invincible.

Favorite post-workout meal or snack?

Chicken cutlets with a side of pasta!

What do you do for fun outside of Ripped?

I love being outdoors and active. I play on a beer league softball team and never say no to spontaneous Pickle ball meetups!

What’s one thing you’ve accomplished here that you’re proud of?

I tell everyone that I know that Ripped changed my life. It has helped me rebuild myself into the happiest version of me. I am so much stronger, more toned, and healthier than I have ever felt. Since going to Ripped regularly I am super proud to say that I lost about 40 pounds and put on muscle that has made me so much more confident and in control of my body!

What would you say to someone thinking about trying Ripped for the first time?

Do not feel intimidated at all! Every single part of the workout can be done at your own pace. I always say you have to start somewhere when getting back into anything (especially working out) and this is the perfect place to be.
