LAURA ARMADA-BUCH
I was born in Barcelona, Spain. I started dancing at the age of 3, and at 12 I was introduced to the wonderful world of aerobics. At 16 I was selected to be part of an aerobics team and compete at professional level. While competing I gained my first qualification to teach aerobics.
In 1998 I moved over to Ireland where I have been instructing up til the present day. I have been in the fitness industry for over 12 years now.
As from 2008, I'm a Tutor and Assessor, so I am now training people to become qualified Fitness Instructors.
My aim, through LABFITNESS, is to bring exercise classes that are affordable, fun but above all effective, to the Drogheda and surrounding areas.
I am a dedicated fitness instructor and I believe that my expertise, motivation and inspiration can benefit anyone with a genuine desire to improve their fitness and their quality of life using safe but effective exercise methods.
To continue with my on-going education and training I'm a member of FitPro and Choreography to go and I continually attend masterclasses and workshops throughout the year.
