Meet the creators of BeachFit Moms
Annika Turner – Founder of BeachFit Moms
Annika is a proud parent of a 9-month old son, William, together with her husband, Bryce Turner, owner of Beach Fitness. Annika always lived a very active life, playing and coaching soccer in her native country Sweden. Being active has always been an important part of her life and moving to United States in 2008 (to be with the man of her dreams!) got her introduced to her husband’s passion and business, Beach Fitness. She started working out at Beach Fitness and it made her even more determined to live a healthy and active life. Annika worked out with a Personal Trainer for two years, while teaching classes at Beach Fitness Group Fit studio. Annika is now a Certified Trainer at Beach Fitness and CPR certified.
When Annika became pregnant, she was determined to stay in shape, and immediately started researching about how to work out and eat while being pregnant. Not surprisingly, the information about programs for pregnant women lacked knowledge, and were sometimes even dangerous. Together with her husband, she created her own workout routines, that was safe and correct – and most important - made her pregnancy an easy journey. Although, an easy pregnancy, little William came out – weighing almost 9 pounds – forcing Annika to an unexpected C-section. The C-section made her realize how important it is to have body awareness and also, how important it is to come back after a C-section surgery, and its discomfort, without any complications, feeling stronger than ever. Annika sees Dr. Natalie King Wilson for her chiropractic care. She also brings her son for regular adjustments. Dr. Natalie made her pregnancy and recovery a breeze, Annika’s OB/GYN was amazed by her health during her pregnancy and stated that she set an example of the ideal pregnancy. When Laura, Beach Fitness Pilates Instructor (specialized and certified in Prenatal/Postnatal Pilates), started working at Beach Fitness, Annika also introduced Pilates in her fitness regime and all of these in combination has been life changing. The idea started growing about creating a program for pregnant women & moms and now it is officially here at Beach Fitness. Annika is now looking forward to educate other pregnant women and moms about the importance of body awareness, proper nutrition, correct exercises for all parts of your body and most of all – have fun with other pregnant women and moms – all while getting them in their best shapes of their lives!
Annika is available for Personal Training Monday – Friday 10am - 4pm.

Laura Adams – Certified Pilates/Yoga Instructor
“When I look into my future, I do see children... BUT I want to go into that part of my life educated, informed, and prepared! So, I decided to specialize in Pre/Post Natal Fitness. It has been the most eye opening and helpful decisions I have made and with BeachFit Moms I share it with you!” / Laura
Laura was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and found her way to Southern California as she followed her heart to UC Irvine to study dance and soak up the So Cal rays she had always heard of. There she found Pilates as a means to help maintain the physical demands as a dancer. After studying and certifying with Diane Diefenderfer at Studio Du Corps in Orange County, Laura realized that not only did she have a passion for Pilates, but she also had a need to communicate her knowledge in hopes of helping other people from all walks of life from Pre-post pregnancy, spinal issues, athletes, nutrition and Women’s health. Throughout her own journey she found Bhakti Vinyasa Yoga to tie in the spiritual understanding of mind and movement and incorporates this method in her daily practice. She is forever grateful to the Bhakti Yoga Shala family in Santa Monica where she recently finished her teacher training. Laura finds Pilates and Yoga to be both physically and mentally challenging, but best of all spiritually motivating!
Laura is very excited to educate women and moms in Pilates. Laura is one of the few women who has the most advanced prenatal/postnatal Pilates certification in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. With a focus on C-section rehab, Diastasis-recti correction, pubic symphysis correction, and conscious post natal re-strengthening, Laura is eager to let women know that it is possible to come back into your former body if you approach it in the most educated way! What a relief! Contrary to popular belief, Laura was very happy to learn that when you have children your fitness life is not over! She loves to show women that with commitment, precision, and passion, women, no matter what condition, can get in the best shape of their life after childbirth!
Laura is available for private Pilates at Beach Fitness, Mon/Wed/Fri 7am-12.
