Meet Laura
Hi! I am Laura Goldsmith MS, ATC, CES, a Certified Athletic Trainer with over a decade of experience in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance training. With a background that includes working with collegiate and high school athletes, orthopedic rehab patients, and active adults of all ages, I bring a deep understanding of functional mobility and strength. My approach blends evidence-based practices with personalized coaching to help clients move better, get stronger, and maintain long-term physical health.
When I’m not working with clients, I spend most of my time with my family (husband and three kiddos) having fun, catching Middlebury College sporting events, and exploring the outdoors.
What Our Clients are Saying
“If you have the privilege to train with Laura, you are incredibly lucky.
I trained with Laura for three years, following a stubborn, months-long knee injury. At the beginning, my only goal was injury prevention (which I knew would be tricky given I was dealing with everything from knees, feet, back and elbows!). When she asked if there was anything I wasn’t comfortable doing, I said no kettlebell swings (another injury culprit).
Very quickly, I saw real progress in my overall strength, and my goals started to change. What was originally “don’t get hurt again,” turned into hitting new max weights on my deadlifts, managing more pull-ups, adding another push-up, etc. Each week, I was adding new goals to the list because Laura made me realize I was more than capable of hitting them.
With her hyper-focus on proper form, I realized I was stronger than I had given myself credit for.
And the kettlebell swings that were once off-limits? They’re now a regular part of my workouts.
I also worked with Laura throughout my first pregnancy, and I never once questioned a single workout she programmed. I felt very confident training with her (and even increased my sessions toward the end of pregnancy). I believe all the work we did during this time made my postpartum journey easier, and I was fortunate enough to be back training with Laura six weeks after my daughter was born.
Laura isn't just a great trainer; she’s incredibly kind, supportive, will challenge you, and celebrates your progress because it genuinely matters to her. I’ve recommended her to multiple friends and family members, and everyone agrees: she is THE BEST!”

“Dear Laura,
Thank you so much for your two years of excellent personal training.
Your caring attitude and knowledge have helped me increase the strength and muscle tone of this 90 year-old body.
I especially appreciate that you sought and heard my feedback. It has been a pleasure to work with you.”
- Ivan
“If you are looking for a personal trainer who truly cares about you, listens, and will get you to your goals- look no further! I started working with Laura while I was training for the NYC Marathon and I’m so glad I did! Everything she did was specifically tailored to me and what I needed. Every session was a challenge- Laura pushed me past what I thought I was capable of, but always safely and within my abilities. This is a testament to how knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful she is with each session.
After a few months training with Laura, I was stronger than I’ve ever been, and had the most incredible marathon experience as a result!
Working with Laura was truly one of the best decisions of my life and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone, no matter what your fitness goals are!”
