Laura Bartron, Nutrition Consultant
Regional Nutritionist, Renaissance ClubSport
Walnut Creek, CA


“The homework assignments were well-rounded and very beneficial by allowing us to work with clients and apply the Eating For Health principles in practical ways.”


Laura Bartron, B.S., N.C., has launched her career into the world of nutrition consulting through the vehicle of the corporate health club culture. After graduating from the Bauman College Nutrition Consultant Training Program, Laura worked with Dr. Bauman as a research assistant, culling out the latest scientific findings for teacher notes and updates to the Bauman College course handbooks. She then completed a Bauman College teacher training course, where she learned to speak publicly with confidence and poise. She joined the Bauman College faculty as a Nutrition Consultant instructor and shared her love of nutrition with students hungry to learn and grow. In addition to teaching at the college, she began working as a nutritional consultant in various medical settings.

Her big turning point came when she applied for a nutritionist position at the renowned Renaissance ClubSport in Walnut Creek, California and was hired over twenty-seven other qualified applicants. She pioneered the 12-week NuShape Weight Management Program to motivate health club members with nutrition education, group classes, personal training, stress management techniques, and supportive one-on-one counseling. For three years she has worked with clients who have cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hormonal, and metabolic issues. She also does public presentations and corporate wellness seminars, such as “Eating for Energy and Improved Productivity” for corporate executives. Her programs and presentations have been very successful and through recognition of that success, her nutrition career is now in full bloom.

Laura has recently been promoted to Regional Nutritionist and now trains site directors on the marketing and delivery of her wellness program for five ClubSport properties in Oregon, Nevada, and California. Recently the parent company, Leisure Sports Inc., merged with Marriott International and Laura finds herself on the ground floor of developing a whole new model of national fitness and nutrition programs. Wow!

Laura's next project is to use her knowledge of cardiovascular disease to develop a comprehensive research-based seminar to help health professionals better understand how this issue can be prevented or remedied through diet and lifestyle modification. As always, the Eating For Health model will be guiding her way!
