We had the good fortune of connecting with Laura Nigro and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Laura, what do you attribute your success to?
I really love what I do. I love working out and connecting with others. I believe that when you’re truly passionate about something and share that energy with others, it’s contagious.
Passion has made Balm possible.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I co-founded and opened Balm Fitness. It was my intention to offer fitness classes and personal training that were uniquely geared toward women and that were sequenced to build lean muscle and burn fat. While I’ve accomplished that, so much more has transpired since opening our doors.
I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work out, inspire and witness my clients growing and doing things in the studio that they didn’t think were possible.
The strong community of women that have dedicated their health and fitness to Balm have inspired me to keep pushing myself. If I’ve learned two things, it would be to stay humble and work hard. Over and over again.
Has it been easy? No. It still isn’t. Of course a pandemic threw a wrench into everything. However, trusting myself, knowing if I’ve made the right decisions, big or small, and putting myself out there is a constant battle. However, my clients have kept me feeling positive and passionate throughout the past years. My connection with them and the connections I see within our community are the best part of Balm.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My family deserves a major shoutout. Their patience and support throughout my highs and lows of running this business have been nothing short of amazing. My husband deserves the biggest shoutout. He’s my sounding board. My rock.
