Designed for Your Fitness Journey
Guiding moms of young children to their strongest self
through training, nutrition, and habit-building.
About
Before embarking on our careers in fitness, we worked as design professionals. Jessica, as an Architect, and Laura, a Landscape Architect. While making our mark in our respective creative fields, we shared a passion for fitness. Although we initially met through an allied professionals organization, we were part of the 5am crew at our local gym.
After becoming mothers, the 5am hustle looked a little different. Soon after returning to work, we both decided to step down from our 9-5 jobs to be home with our littles. Adapting to our ever-changing schedules as moms was a challenge, but finding time for ourselves through fitness eased the transition. Together, we have nearly 20 years of experience in fitness with backgrounds focused on strength and body recomposition.
We are the creators of the "Fourth Trimester" early postpartum return to fitness program and the “Strongest You” online training program, which both focus on “Foundation First” - our methodology which involves learning foundational functions and building foundational strength first.
Our Philosophy
At Designed For You Fitness, we specialize in guiding moms of young children to their strongest selves through training, nutrition, and habit-building. We will work with you to develop a program tailored to your individual needs with the understanding everyone is unique and that your goals, schedule, life, etc. are constantly changing. From custom weight loss and strength training to macro nutrition plans, we are here to support you every step of the way. Our passion is in the person, and we cannot wait to work with you to achieve your personal goals.

What People Say
Brittney H., CO
"Coach Laura and Coach Jessica made what felt like a daunting process manageable in my day to day life. Both are incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge leaving me to feel like I have learned something valuable and can continue this journey long term, even after my program ends."
Abby D., WA
"100% I would recommend [Coach Laura]! She is so easy to be around, it is a safe environment during a mom's journey of getting back into fitness after having a baby which can feel really vulnerable. [Laura is] super knowledgeable and makes the whole process of getting fit feel way less overwhelming."
Marlena P., WA
"I noticed that I am stronger than before my second baby. I was not doing the moves wrong, but they were not as connected as they are now. I am more aware of my body and where my weaknesses are so I can work on them and improve them more. 10 out of 10!
Best trainer I have ever had!"

Why would I pay a coach/personal trainer when I can just follow workouts from my favorite fitness influencers on social media for free?While following workouts from fitness influencers on social media can provide a cost-effective and accessible way to stay active, hiring a coach or personal trainer offers several distinct advantages. A certified professional (i.e. us!) brings expertise in designing personalized workout plans and/or macros tailored to your specific goals, fitness level, and any existing health considerations. Following a customized fitness plan will ensure you continuously move forward; something that following random exercise selections cannot guarantee. With us as your coaches, we work with you to progressively overload your training with a thoughtful plan to fit with your lifestyle and fitness goals.We provide invaluable guidance on proper form, technique, and progression, helping to minimize the risk of injury and ensure optimal results. Additionally, we offer accountability, motivation, and the ability to adapt your program as your fitness journey evolves. While social media workouts can be inspiring and convenient, investing in a coach fosters a more individualized and comprehensive approach to fitness, ultimately enhancing your overall well-being sustainably.

I only have access to limited equipment. Can you still help me in my fitness journey?Absolutely! Limited equipment doesn't have to be a barrier to achieving your fitness goals. With a strategic approach, we can design a workout routine that maximizes the use of the equipment you have or incorporates bodyweight exercises for a challenging and effective workout. Bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks can be highly effective in building strength and improving overall fitness. Once movements like these have have been mastered, several training variables can be changed to keep you moving forward. Additionally, we can explore creative ways to make the most of your available equipment, focusing on functional movements and varied intensity to keep your workouts engaging. Together, we can create a tailored fitness plan that aligns with your goals, adapts to your equipment constraints, and ensures a successful and fulfilling fitness journey.

I don’t want to spend hours at the gym everyday, but I still want to achieve my goals. How can you realistically help?We understand the importance of efficiency in your fitness journey. We can create a realistic and time-efficient workout plan that aligns with your goals. By focusing on compound exercises that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously, we can maximize the effectiveness of your workouts in a shorter amount of time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or circuit training are other excellent options, combining short bursts of intense effort with brief rest periods to boost calorie burn and improve cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, we can explore effective home workouts that require minimal time and equipment, ensuring you can stay consistent without spending hours at the gym. Customizing a program that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle and preferences will not only save time but also make your fitness journey more sustainable and enjoyable.

I really like to keep my body guessing by doing all sorts of different exercise styles. Do you have a program that would work for me?Many individuals believe they are incorporating muscle confusion into their training routine, thinking it is the key to progress, when, in reality, they may simply be the type of person who gets easily bored and prefers variety. If that resonates with you, there is nothing wrong with embracing it. However, if you have fitness objectives such as building strength, endurance, or muscle, you do not want to sacrifice progress for enjoyment. In such cases, we can create a weekly plan tailored to your preferences. For instance, you could focus on upper body, lower body, or full-body strength on different days, incorporating cardio or yoga on alternating days. While the core workouts remain consistent week over week, small variations and progressive overload ensure a slight challenge, promoting continuous progress without compromising enjoyment. Consistency is key, so crafting a plan around exercises you genuinely enjoy is essential for long-term success.

Your digital personalized programs are priced quite a bit higher than your pre-made digital programs. Why would I choose the personal program when I could get a pre-made program for much cheaper?While pre-made digital programs can offer a cost-effective solution, a personalized program comes with several distinct advantages. The higher cost reflects the tailored attention and expertise dedicated to crafting a fitness plan specifically designed for your unique goals, preferences, and individual needs. A personalized program takes into account your current fitness level, and any health considerations, and adapts as your progress unfolds. It offers a more targeted and effective approach, ensuring that every aspect of your fitness journey is considered. The personalized guidance and ongoing support provided throughout the process can be instrumental in achieving long-term success. While pre-made programs can be a good starting point, investing in a personalized program is an investment in your individualized success and overall well-being.

Many of your pre-made programs are 3+ months long which seems like a long commitment. Do you offer shorter programs?While there is not a straightforward answer, it is advisable to consider hiring a personal trainer for a duration of 3 to 6 months. This timeframe allows sufficient time for noticeable improvements in strength and endurance. Although your body will start undergoing changes within a few weeks of consistent effort, achieving muscle tone may take a bit longer. Determining the ideal duration for personal training depends on various factors, including your fitness goals, current fitness level, and commitment to training. Whether you aim to shed significant weight or build muscle mass, the time required with a personal trainer can vary. Some individuals may achieve their objectives in a few months, while others may need a year or more. Collaborating closely with your trainer (us!) to develop a customized plan tailored to your unique circumstances is crucial. Remember, personal training is an investment in your health, and the benefits derived from this collaboration can have a lasting impact on your well-being.

The time I have for myself is so sporadic. How could I make progress in my fitness goals when my availability for exercise is so hit or miss?We completely understand the challenge of sporadic time availability. The key in your situation is to focus on flexibility and adaptability in your fitness routine. We can design a workout plan that accommodates your unpredictable schedule, incorporating shorter, high-intensity sessions or quick, effective workouts that can be squeezed into even the busiest days. Additionally, we can explore strategies to integrate physical activity into your daily routine, such as incorporating short bursts of exercise during breaks or prioritizing efficient, full-body workouts. By emphasizing consistency over duration and tailoring your program to suit your fluctuating schedule, we can work together to make progress toward your fitness goals, ensuring that your sporadic availability doesn't hinder your overall success.
