Start with what your body needs today.
Your body can feel different from one day to the next. Wavemakers helps you notice what you need as you move, then adjust your position, range, speed, or effort to find what works best today.
Because the right move isn’t always the same. It’s the one that works for your body now—and helps prepare you for what you want to do next.
“Wavemakers works on the individual. What that translated to for me was better hip mobility, increased range of motion, endurance, balance, and stability.”
— Cynthia O., North Carolina
What you build in the water goes with you
Walking farther. Taking the stairs. Traveling. Gardening. Golfing. Getting down on the floor—and back up again.
Feel stronger in everyday movement
Walking, lifting, reaching, climbing stairs — your whole body learns to work together, so the strength and balance you build in the water can support the things you want to keep doing outside it.
Feel like Laurie is coaching you
Her cues invite you to adjust your feet, change your speed, or add more challenge when you’re ready — so the workout responds to you, not the other way round.
The goal isn’t to just complete another workout. It’s to leave the water stronger, more connected, and better prepared for what comes next.

Hi, I'm Laurie
I’m a kinesiologist, movement coach, and creator of Wavemakers.
For more than 30 years, I’ve helped people use water to understand their bodies, move better, and build strength that carries into everyday life.
My mission is simple: help you get the best results from your time in the water.
I believe exercise should feel good.
That doesn’t mean easy. It means movement should make sense for your body—and you should understand how to adjust it as your body changes.
Inside Wavemakers, I’ll help you do exactly that.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
No. Many Wavemakers workouts are designed for shallow water where you can comfortably stand. Deep-water workouts are there if you enjoy them.
Are the workouts appropriate for beginners?
Yes. Wavemakers starts with what your body needs today. Laurie helps you notice what you feel and adjust your range, speed, position, or effort so you can find the right challenge for you.
Can I use Wavemakers at my pool?
Yes. Community pools, backyard pools, and smaller pools can all work. Use the Wavemakers app on your phone or tablet, download a workout ahead of time, and Wi-Fi isn’t required.
Do I need to watch the video while I exercise?
No. Every workout is coached so you can follow by listening. If you want a visual reference, keep your phone or tablet nearby and check the video when needed.
Do I need any equipment?
No equipment is required. You can add gloves, small hand buoys, or a pool noodle when you want more resistance, variety, or challenge.
Is this membership for water exercise instructors?
Wavemakers is designed for your own personal workouts, with Laurie coaching you as you move. If you’re an instructor looking for teaching tools, mentorship, and ways to personalize progress for your students, Wavemakers Pro is the better fit.
