After the birth of her third child in 1997, and gaining about 70 lbs with each pregnancy, she became dedicated to helping others lose weight. She now knew first hand how difficult losing a significant amount of weight is.
She became certified in group fitness, personal training, yoga-fit, mat pilates, and many other areas of fitness and nutrition.
Laura began teaching kick-boxing, step, strength training and other classes at Lucille Roberts and gyms around Manhattan.
She saw the need for other “moms” to incorporate fitness into a social setting. She created and implemented a customized exercise plan for a group of moms at her kids school. (Which still exists today!)
Laura also had the honor of working as the Fitness Director for Pinnacle Labs creating a 6 six month program, the “Healthier Lifestyle Challenge" for New York City Policewomen after 9/11.
In 2007 NBC’s “Your Total Health” with Hoda Kotb featured Laura’s “Box-Fit” class.
She has created and contributed over a dozen segments to NBC’s web-based series covering many topics in the fitness and health area.
Laura McDonald is also listed as the "Highest Rated" trainer in the New York City area on Idea Fitness, the industry leader in fitness professionals:

Laura is currently working with private clients, teaching her custom classes at her New York City studio and in Riverside Park and Central Park. She also offers web-based coaching services to individuals and groups.
She is working on a book about her experience in the fitness industry which will include all her secrets to achieving a sexier, stronger, skinnier body. Laura has been blogging and tweeting with the world, continues to create her own videos and of course performing her most important role every day--- Mom!
