“It’s a journey, constant education and one where I’m constantly learning and growing. There is no other human that knows how to mentor and teach, her attention to detail is amazing. She knows my body better than I do and I only wish she could follow me around all day and tell me to straighten up and Kegal…! She’s got more knowledge than anyone, each session is tailored to me and only me … a truly beautiful human being.”

“I can’t believe how much fitter and stronger I have become since I began working with Lawson. Through her intelligent focus on whole body health and good form, Lawson instills good workout habits that have allowed me to keep building on what she’s helped me accomplish - whether it’s improving my balance, nailing my Pilates roll ups, or learning complicated trampoline choreography. In every session, Lawson keeps things fresh, interesting and challenging - plus, she’s a lot of fun! I highly recommend Lawson to anyone looking to get fit in a thoughtful way, and to have a great time doing it. ”

“Lawson will kick your ass and is always magically able to keep track of alignment, posture and engagement the entire time. You pay attention to your body because she requires it of you. She listens and energetically taps into what you need in a way not many trainers are able to or honestly want to. Her workouts are rooted in dance and Pilates - which as an actor and performer I love - and are always dynamically different. She’s fun as hell. I love her. And she makes me laugh.”

“Lawson has changed my life. Working with her on the Pilates equipment has changed my abdomen and core dramatically for the better. Plus, she figures out great workouts I actually can do on my own, either in my gym, at home with equipment, or when I’m on the road and have none. Lawson is a good listener and a real fitness pro who can see what you need from how you move. She makes me sweat a lot and I feel amazing after each session. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their quality of life and fitness at any age or level.”

“Shortly after moving to Dumbo many moons ago, I first met Lawson at her now since shuttered club, The Lab. That was well over a decade ago and I have never looked back! But even during those first couple of years, two things occurred that kept me in her fold: I got into shape, like, *really* good shape, and I took notice of not only the culture that Lawson had instilled at The Lab, but Lawson herself as an owner/operator.
Lawson’s infectious spirit, positive energy, deep knowhow, substantive character and organic 360 degree approach all combined to create the elusive 'secret sauce’. My sessions are never rote or static. She is always bringing something new and creative to keep things fresh and fluid. At the same time, she is never evangelical or overly entrenched in her format. This is a woman who knows when to pivot and can improvise on a dime while executing that shift with seamless ease. That is a rare skill that can only come from a seasoned professional whose empathy and ability to be present in the moment is as bottomless as her technical knowledge.
It is now 13 years since we first entered each other’s orbit and I am turning 50 in a few months. I honestly can’t imagine my physical and mental health being in such consistently good standing were it not for the countless hours I have spent training with her. Her commitment to her craft - and her friendship - are the gifts that keep on giving.”

“Lawson is among the people who have had the greatest positive impact on my life. The physical wellness and awareness that she has brought out in me over the years has transformed every aspect of my life. She has an amazing no-nonsense efficiency and intensity combined with limitless knowledge and skill. Those qualities pushed me to have the discipline and rigor needed for such a transformation which is now a lifelong journey. I can't recommend her enough.
