Today, we’d like to introduce you to Laura Hogya. Laura was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Eric Brown.
Laura, can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Prior to having kids and the pandemic, I was working full time at a performance apparel company and a group fitness instructor, studying to get my NASM certification. Even after my first was born, I was living a very active and healthy lifestyle, working and teaching, etc. Then, the pandemic hit and I gave birth to my second. After shut downs and the world stood still, so did I. I packed on the weight and took on unhealthy eating habits. Then the whirlwind of parenting two under 3 got harder and I just lost momentum…Until I met Eric!
Let’s talk about your work and career – what else should we know?
I am a communications and PR professional working in retail. I love it!
So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Eric Brown and EB Fitness LLC and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with EB Fitness LLC.
Eric pushes you to the limit, but only to the limits that he knows you can handle. I’ve had many trainers who ease up if they see I’m struggling, who didn’t check in with me, and really didn’t custom tailor what I needed and how my body responds. Eric is also a hormonal expert, which comes in handy when you’re postpartum. I’ve learned more from him in my year of training with him than from any other fitness and nutritional professional over the course of multiple years. He knows my body, he knows my lifestyle, and makes it easy for me to do what I need to do, and meet my goals at the same time.
The biggest tip that I’ll never forget is…”use butter when you cook. Don’t sacrifice flavor or it won’t stick…” I loved hearing that and even though he has me on a low fat diet (because he knows my body holds onto fat), he allows me the flexibility to LIVE!
