Meet Laurel, the dynamic owner of Trifit Wellness!

Tell us about Trifit Wellness

I’ve owned TriFit for about 8 years, taking over and renovating an existing studio to better serve our members. I kept hearing from people that they didn’t feel comfortable in a regular gym—they didn’t know how to use the equipment, how to fit in, or what they were doing. Traditional gyms often lack personalized guidance, leading to frustration and even injury. That’s why I created a happy medium: a smaller, more intimate atmosphere where members can receive one-on-one coaching. We get to know our members personally, and over time, we become like family.

What makes TriFit unique?

I love solving problems—it's just how I’m wired. I’m always looking for ways to improve, especially when it comes to helping beginners in their training journey. You might be able to deadlift 200 pounds, but if you don’t understand the nutrition behind your health and body, you’re missing a key part of the puzzle. That’s why we hired a registered dietitian with high-level coaching to help people take care of themselves holistically. Plus, we have a physical therapist on-site to address any concerns, whether it’s a minor tweak or a potential injury, ensuring our members have the support they need every step of the way. We believe there is no greater gift than your health.

We meet people where they are in their fitness journey, focusing on achieving their goals in a healthy, holistic way. I’m passionate about helping women build confidence in the gym. There’s nothing like seeing someone bloom with self-assurance when they’re deadlifting and lifting heavy—it’s incredibly rewarding to witness that transformation.

What's next for TriFit?

I’m continuing my journey of learning through a mastermind class called Loud Rumor, where I’m surrounded by about 200 of the best gym owners, all of whom are committed to being mindful and helping others. The CEO of the group reached out to partner with us, and I’m thrilled because our values and mission align perfectly. Together, we’re focused on helping more people, and we’re planning to open 6 new TriFit locations, starting this November, with additional locations opening throughout the valley in the coming years. We’re excited to do our small part in helping people on their health journey.
