About me

    I am Laura.

    Laura Mangold · Coach for body and leadership

    Personal trainer, sports scientist, coach. For more than six years I have worked with women in training, nutrition and personal development. What I have learned: real strength grows from within, quietly and without any need for show.

    Background

    20 years in sport. Scientific foundation. Coaching since 2025.

    My background is sports science. My foundation is competitive sport. My tools today: structured strength training, grounded nutrition work, honest guidance.

    I combine scientific knowledge with what really carries in everyday life. Not theory for its own sake. Clarity you can use on a Monday morning.

    "I don't believe in extremes or constant pressure. I believe in a sustainable path that holds training, nutrition and mental health together."

    Laura's stance

    My values

    What carries me
    1. 01

      Presenceover volume

      Calm, clarity and real attention create the space for honest trust to grow.

    2. 02

      Structureover pressure

      Lasting change grows out of stability, not constant overload or endless pressure.

    3. 03

      Responsibilityover dependence

      My goal is to make women stronger, not to make them dependent on me or anyone else.

    4. 04

      Honestyover perfection

      No facade, no extremes. Just real and lasting development with ground under your feet.

    5. 05

      Individualityover one-size-fits-all

      Every person brings different conditions, needs and experiences into the process.

    Vision

    "A world where young women feel strong, secure, and self assured. In their body, in their mind, in their life."

    They trust themselves, take responsibility for their lives, and radiate that inner strength outward.

    Where I'm headed

    I want to create spaces where women grow together, not alone.

    Community Events

    Real encounters instead of likes. Workshops, shared training, and events that connect women and stay with them long term.

    Retreats

    Space for distance, reflection, and growth. Time to recharge, anchor new habits, and arrive back with yourself.

    Machinegold Gyms

    Eventually our own Machinegold locations worldwide. Places where training, health, community, and personal growth come together.

    Community

    Community is the heart of Machinegold.

    I don't believe in competition between women. I believe in mutual support, honest encounters, and growing together.

    Because change comes more easily when people carry each other.
