Laureano said he had originally aimed for 1,000 burpees, but fell short of his goal due to a leg injury he sustained two days before the attempt.
The athlete said the record attempt was a tribute to his niece, Rebecca, who was diagnosed with a severe heart condition when she was born last year.
Laureano took the record from Ontario gym owner Nick Anapolsky, who did 879 of the exercises in one hour in March.
