LAURA FORTE FITNESS, LLC
ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

Almost 4 years ago, I finally to the leap of faith and quit the corporate world to start my own brick and mortar fitness business and pursue my passion. I couldn’t come more full circle! I’ve helped take people off of the very same cholesterol I sold 4 years ago!! Our Bay View Boot Camp coaches and myself are passionate about health and fitness, but that’s not all. We are also passionate about people and helping people realize their full potential. At Laura Forte Fitness, we strive for excellence with our boot camp program, personal training services, and transformation programs to be the very BEST fitness program in St. Pete! Hi!! I’m Gail McClure. I am a wife and mother of two, and I have spent most of my life taking care of others. I finally realized I needed to take care of myself in order to be my best for everyone else. I decided that getting my body in shape was the first step to better health. To my delight, along with that came a better mind set. I felt so amazing, that I decided I wanted to become a trainer so I could help others feel and look their best. I would love to share your fitness journey with you, and help you succeed in whatever goals you may have. Personally, I want to stay healthy so I can enjoy all that this life has to offer. Each day if a gift, and appreciating it is so much easier when you feel good!! Originally from the mid-west, I was always active in some sort of athletic training – formally and just for fun. When I was very young I began doing gymnastics and running competitively, in college I got my first personal trainer, and in my early twenties I became a backpacking guide in the Rocky Mountains, leading trips through mountains and caves. When I moved to Florida, I knew right away I wanted to continue the active lifestyle outdoors, so I got my personal training certification from NASM, which led to teaching boot camps. Since then, I’ve become a registered yoga teacher and been certified as a stand up paddle guide and stand up paddle yoga instructor. Being active outside is definitely my happy place! I absolutely loved teaching classes and training clients one on one, but was unable to do so after an automobile accident in Fall of 2015. After months of physical therapy and time away from the gym, I was able to start working out again in Spring of 2016 and fell even more in love with fitness. Now that I am fully recovered, I am thrilled to reach new fitness goals and help others achieve theirs as well! This boot camp is amazing! Laura and her team are motivating and dedicated to helping each person achieve their full potential! You not only get a kick butt workout, you get personalized attention and advice based on your goals. HIGHLY recommend it for both men and women of all ages! I am completely addicted to Bay View Boot Camp! No two workouts are the same, so boredom is impossible, and options for each exercise are always provided to reach you at any fitness level. Laura is our biggest cheerleader, pushing you to challenge yourself and motivating you to reach your goals. The people are fantastic, too! I am grateful to be a part of it!! I love Laura too!  She’s always looking out for each and every person to make sure they’re doing each exercise properly and the right form.  I’m hooked for life.
