At DTC ‘Fit’ Happens!

Owners Paul and Laura Dexter have a passion for staying in shape and changing other people’s lives for the better. Paul Dexter found his passion for changing other people’s lives over 16 years ago when he began working for Bally Total Fitness as a Personal Trainer. Paul quickly became the Fitness Director for Ballys North Providence facility. During his tenure as Fitness Director he became the only manager to ever win their coveted “Elite Performer” contest three times. The “Elite Performer” award went to the Fitness Director with the top personal training department for a given year.

During his career as a Personal Trainer and dealing with hundreds of clients, Paul developed his own unique training and nutrition philosophy. This philosophy allowed his clients to achieve their goals while making it fun, exciting, realistic, and attainable.  Paul also used himself as an example to his clients by becoming a nationally ranked natural bodybuilder. Proving to his clients that if he can achieve his goals, so can they!

Paul decided to leave Ballys because he felt his clients could not get the individualized, one on one attention they deserved in a “gym atmosphere”. Paul desired to have a facility that designed programs specifically to each individual, focusing on each clients unique needs. Keeping a hands on approach with the aspect of a private facility, allowing each client to maximize their time in the gym with a trainer motivating them through every minute of their workouts. Dexter Training Concepts was created.  What started off as an “original” idea, has become a welcomed “breath of fresh air”. DTC clients love the fact that they can come to the studio, meet and consult with their trainer as desired, and do cardiovascular exercise whenever they want; all without having to deal with the traditional “gym atmosphere” found everywhere else. DTC has a fun, family atmosphere, that clients love. It is motivating, not intimidating; encouraging, not competitive. DTC is a one of a kind company, embracing clients needs and changing lives for the better.

Laura Dexter

Laura has had over 6 years of experience, NASM certified, and has a Bachelors Degree in Business. Laura has worked with many types of clients. She is tough enough for her male clients, but loves to work with her female clients building confidence and strength.

She focuses on a lifestyle change from the inside out. Her style is very hands on. Along with her various group exercise classes, including kickboxing and outdoor bootcamp, she loves to lead by example and join in and workout along side her clients pushing them to do more than they thought possible.

Lauras training styles are adaptable to each client, who range from 14-82. She loves high energy circuit interval workouts that keep your heart rate elevated throughout the whole workout. But also has the patience to slow the pace down to her 82 year old client who is just trying to stay active.

No matter what your goals are, Laura will make sure you walk out the door feeling 100% worked, feeling you’ve achieved things you would not have done on your own. She doesn’t feel as though she has done her job until you start loving to hate her.

Laura has clients who have lost 100lbs, 50 lbs, 30 lbs, and also have increased agility, strength, and most importantly confidence.

Her positive attitude makes you believe you are stonger than you think and as long as you believe you can change your lifestyle and reach whatever goals you have, you can! She loves to motivate, support and inspire people to change their lives.
