No Judgement, No Fear, Just Freedom
Western fitness is what I have been teaching since 1988. Aerobic classes, strength training, and cardio were the basics of my specialties.
After I turned 30 my body began to change, pain crept up, muscles were not strong that should be, my memory seemed to be slowing. I did not feel my best.
ā
I began searching for remedies to "fix" myself and nothing was working. I went to great chiropractors & physical therapists, but the information was incomplete.
Eventually, I found energy work, and the power of a calm mind and relaxed body. Eastern medicine has been extremely beneficial in helping me, as well as my clients, move forward. Practicing energy work helped me to find courage to change, start my company, fix my ailments, and be a better fitness professional. So what I offer is the best of both worlds.
ā
I want to help each of us push forward in a positive way.
The Core Belief
Most people have tight muscles because they really are trying too hard. Start with calming the body. Then like a peaceful warrior, face the world every day with the muscles and brain ready to take action.
Tenseness is messy, difficult, and requires more effort, time and energy. "Clarity is power."
Ron Wayman, CEnK
For muscles to be pain free, they must pull on the joint in the right way, going from a relaxed "center" to a contracted state, and back again - to the center. When that begins to go out of alignment, muscles begin to create pain.
So...sometimes muscles need to be released, and sometimes they need to be strengthened. Its not just about fitness, strength and cardio, to heal. The process is also about relaxation, meditation, and letting go.

Personal Training
Your beginning fitness level - it's important to start there. Don't try to skip it.
ā
We will help you find things that you love to do.
ā
We will support, calm, and strengthen you.
ā
We will help you find the things that will support, not stress you.
Nutrition
Many people already know they should eat more vegetables, less meat, healthy fats, etc....but what comes next? Where do they buy them? How do they cook them?
These are some of the questions that can be answered with the help of a nutritionist.
ā
We look forward to helping you create a personalized, stress free plan for optimal health and wellness.
Energy Work
Sometimes we are scared. Sometimes we are anxious. Or maybe you have a mental block that keeps you from moving forward, and being successful in your "Best Self" journey.
ā
The fact of the matter is, hormones play a significant role, attitude & positivity play a role, nutrition plays a role, and our brain plays a roll as well. Energy work aligns all of these systems, through eastern medicine concepts, to give yourself a fighting chance!!
Personal Training
GET FIT TODAY
Personal training: you are never trained to depend on a trainer at Freedom Road Fitness & Yoga, you will be given your workouts and you can practice them at your own gym or at home.
Your workouts will be geared towards your musculoskeletal misalignment, and we will begin the process of alignment, which brings more ease of movement.
If you are too tense and tight, we will begin the process of opening and lengthening, if you need strength, we will begin there. Need both? Weāre on it!

No matter how you plan to get in shape, you can do it at Freedom Road Fitness & Yoga. We have several options to fit your lifestyle. Give us a call so we can answer any questions and help you get the best value out of your fitness journey.

Check Out Our Testimonials
"Laura took the time to conduct a thorough assessment of our individual levels of fitness.Ā She individualized our training sessions to move us forward at the perfect pace.Ā We are grateful for the improvement in our strengthĀ and stamina.Ā Thank you Laura!"
FRIEDA (AGE 78) & HARVEY (AGE 86)
"I was looking across a huge boulder saddle that I needed to climb through in order to summit the Pfeiffer Horn, just a half mile or less away up a very steep slope. I wondered if I could reach the tops of the boulders and swing my legs up and over without falling off the side and down the talus slope on either side. I remembered Laura's encouragement during an intense workout session saying that, 'yes, this is hard, but you can do it. You can do anything for 30 seconds.' This was just a whole series of 30 seconds, and I knew I could do it. The lunges, planks, bear crawls, and shoulder work that Laura has us do in class paid off and I was successfully able to reach the top. It was indeed hard, but Laura was right, I can do hard things.
ā
"Laura consistently has varied effective workouts that improve strength, flexibility and endurance. Attending her classes makes life more adventurous and mundane household chores much easier. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and technique. I can always count on her to help me correct my form to get the most out of my workout and to keep me safe from injury.
ā
"Laura is motivational, encouraging, and a fun person to be with. Her classes have made a positive difference in my life and I am grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her."
LAURA MCCANDLESS (HOLLADAY LIONS MEMBER)
"What can I tell you about this personal trainer that would be different from any other trainer?
ā
Well for starters, Laura has helped me lose 31lbs this summer! How did she help me? I can honestly say, through pure kindness, caring and a genuine interest in my personal health, happiness and growth as an individual.
ā
She goes beyond just exercise and motivation. She inspires me with dedication and patience. She always believes in my ability to accomplish my goals - even when I do not. She is more than a person who corrects my form and protects me from injury.
I have hired many trainers and fitness enthusiasts in my continual quest for better health, but never have I encountered a trainer who has been able to keep me focused, on track, and excited to see what I can physically accomplish!
ā
I must give her a huge Thank You for changing (maybe even saving) my life by helping me become a stronger person inside and out.
ā
I will be forever grateful, and look forward to reaching new heights and accomplishing more goals with Laura as my guide."
MARY F.
"My wife and I average about ten fitness classes a week at different facilities. A bit fanatical, but it allows us to do the other outdoor activities we both enjoy. After doing so many classes with different instructors, you get picky about what classes you attend.
ā
Laura is competent on so many levels. It is very clear that she understands physiology and knows correct exercise technique. For me, one thing that sets Laura apart from other instructors is that she is incredibly in tune with the class members. She knows your skill level and doesn't hesitate to let you know when you need to correct your technique or up your game because she won't let you dog it. Laura is motivating, the classes are challenging and I especially like that the workout is different each week.
ā
An outstanding class!"
RAY MCCANDLESS
"Laura Underwood was my personal trainer for approximately six months. During that time, the following results were achieved:
ā
-Regular training sessions consisting of cardio and free weight training.
ā
-A written training schedule that included cardio, free weights and a mixture of various exercises with weights that targeted every major muscle group.
ā
-Knowledge of major muscle groups and exercises to keep each muscle group in shape.
-Lots of encouragement and support
ā
I very much enjoyed working with Laura. She is extremely dedicated and committed to help her clients in any way she can. She cares deeply about her clients and is always looking for ways to keep motivation high to ensure success. Laura is knowledgeable about personal training and seeks feedback from her clients and really listens to the feedback.
ā
I would highly recommend Laura as a personal trainer to anyone who wants to improve their physical health and well being."
