“The best thing about working with Lauren is she listens. The most important thing for me is making sure the training is right for my body. Lauren takes that into account with every work out and every exercise. I’ve had knee surgeries, shoulder surgery, and back surgery. If anything does not feel right during a workout she always has a suggestion for a different exercise or modification.
As we have progressed over the years the constant has always been her attentiveness to what’s right for me during each workout and over time as well. I worked out for years on my own and finally admitted to myself that I needed the help of a professional trainer. I will also be the first to admit sometimes it’s hard to get up early in the morning or have the energy late in the day for a workout with Lauren. What keeps me coming back is that I can see a clear difference in my health both physically and mentally. I am 45 and working with Lauren has me in the best shape I have been in since high school. ”

“Lauren really gets to know her client’s abilities and goals. She is able to tailor my workouts to my needs on any given day, whether I’m full of energy and feeling great or helping me recover or work around injuries. With Lauren’s coaching, I push myself a little bit harder and challenge myself with exercises that I otherwise might not think I was capable of. It’s easy to get complacent or even bored with the same fitness routine week after week, but Lauren always has something new or different to keep me engaged and working up to my potential. With today’s limitations due to Covid, I really look forward to my regularly scheduled zoom workouts. They help keep me motivated and on track throughout the week. They also help me burn off some of the “extra” calories that have resulted from too much snacking at home! When I’m done with a workout with Lauren, I always feel like I’ve accomplished something and I feel good about having dedicated some time to my overall health and well-being.

“I have worked with Lauren for over 15 years and she has taken me from fitness “little baby steps” to bigger, more challenging workouts over these years. Regardless of whether it is a 45 minute personal training session or an hour-long group setting, Lauren manages to get the best results from me. It is not an overstatement to say that because of Lauren, my health is where it is today. I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2009 and all of my physicians have said that my commitment to fitness is one of the main reasons that I have enjoyed good health these years. I am thankful to Lauren for being there with me, every step of the way. She’s kind yet firm, committed yet forgiving and better yet, she makes you feel like you are working with a friend. ”

“ I have worked out with Lauren – group classes and weekly private sessions – for close to 10 years. She has been critical to attaining my overall fitness goals including successful pre-surgery strengthening, and post-surgery rehab.
Lauren’s wealth of fitness knowledge means that no session or class is ever the same – variety keeps the workouts challenging and fun! I know that she listens and understands my specific fitness needs – when I need to work harder, and when I have worked too much – and tailors the workouts accordingly. I have learned so much from her on how to have better form in order to maximize the benefit of each exercise and workout.
Above all, Lauren is a great supporter and friend. Her positive attitude is energizing. I know she is there to encourage, educate, and advise me on any and all fitness questions or concerns. Fitness is a very important part of my daily life and I am so fortunate to have Lauren as my coach!”

“One of my tennis friends mentioned that Lauren was teaching a fitness class that was ‘really fun’. I was skeptical (and a little nervous) but I decided to try a class. Lauren explained all the exercises really clearly, and I found it easy to follow. I was surprised at how quickly the hour went by. Each class is a little different, which keeps it interesting, and Lauren is always willing to suggest alternatives if a particular movement is difficult or painful. I now find myself looking forward to the classes, and I actually feel as if I have more energy and endurance on the tennis court. (And my friend was right - it really is fun!”
