Love Lauren!

Verified client

I have been training with Personal Trainers for about 10 years, so very familiar with people who know what they are doing. When i moved to San Francisco, I was looking for a trainer from the start and met with a few that just were not the right fit for me and my goals. I started taking a group class taught by Lauren and loved her style and started training with her. I always had a great workout and no training session was ever the same. She kept me in great shape, always working hard and challenging myself. I love Lauren and wish she hadnt moved from San Francisco and can’t speak more highly of her as a person and her abilities as a trainer!

Working with Lauren is GREAT!

Verified client

Lauren is a highly skilled trainer and always seems to know how hard to push me. And even in the midst of a challenging exercise, she can always make me laugh. We work out with almost every prop in the gym (TRX, ViPR, med balls, kettlebells, balance bords, BOSU) so the workouts are never boring. When I had ripped my calf, Lauren kept me in shape by working around my injury. She is also a terrific running coach and helped my to my 5K PR in sprint Tri.

Lauren is Excellent!

Verified client

I had the opportunity to train with Lauren for 3 years in SF and was very sad to see her leave the west coast. Every workout is completely different and pushes you in new and dynamic ways. I trained with her to get in shape for my wedding, throughout my pregnancy, and postpartum and her workouts were customized to what I needed at the time. Lauren helped me stay in shape and stay healthy throughout my pregnancy which paid dividends after my daughter was born. She is highly motivated to help you succeed in whatever your goals may be. She is also a very active person in her personal life and strives to be knowledgeable about whats new and current in the field of training. Most of all, Lauren is a kind, approachable and dependable person who puts her clients needs above all else. I miss working with her!

Absolutely amazing!

Verified client

Lauren is absolutely amazing! I trained with her for two years in San Francisco and was so sad to see her leave. She is professional, attentive, and wonderful. She listens to what your concerns and goals are and creates a customized, fun workout to help you accomplish them. After two children, my body needed some help, and Lauren helped to get me back into (probably even better than!) pre-babies shape. I miss her a lot…

Best of the Best!

Verified client

Best of the Best is the only way to describe Lauren. I trained with Lauren for three to four months and she definitely opened my eyes to discover how strength training is an excellent source of cardio as well as how working out can be fun, especially when you see the results after hard work. In a matter of three to four months I dropped five pounds and more importantly, decreased my body fat by almost five percent. Before connecting with Lauren, I was definitely the guy who would lift occasionally and most likely run on the treadmill for a few miles and call it a day. After working with Lauren, I now know how important it is to concentrate on core exercises. Every time I work out now, I include at least one specific core exercise. I have never felt better than I do now and I have Lauren to thank. She even helped me look and feel great for my wedding! If you are looking for a trainer in the city of Chicago, I highly recommend connecting with Lauren as she will whip you into shape in no time! If I wasn’t moving out of Chicago, I will definitely still be working with her.

Excellent!

I have been training with Lauren for over year. She has done an outstanding job working with me and keeping me on schedule. The shape of my body has changed dramatically over the last year. I fit into many of my older clothes again and my waist has lost two inches. Lauren has helped me achieve my goals and just feel better in general.

Training has been a joy

Verified client

I really enjoy training with Lauren and I highly recommend her. She worked hard to understand my training goals and physical limitations up front. She designed a plan that has allowed me to make noticeable progress towards those goals in a relatively short period of time. She has also helped me improve my nutritional intake and my overall energy levels. It has been a joy so far.

I Highly Recommend Lauren

Verified client

I began working with Lauren at the suggestion of a friend, whose fitness goals were very similar to mine. As I’d had no prior experience with personal training (or fitness in general), I was mainly looking to get healthy and fit. After Lauren and I had a free consultation, where she eagerly listened to my goals and assessed how we’d get there, we scheduled a month’s worth of trainings- which has turned into six months and counting! What can I say, I’m addicted! Between the challenging training program, Lauren’s enthusiasm, and the results I’m seeing- I don’t want to turn back to my “skinny fat” ways. Lauren is great at pushing me that extra mile but is also equally as great at listening to me and my level of comfort. Because of this, we’ve been able to tailor a program specifically to my body, and it’s obviously working. In addition to toning my body, we’ve eliminated my lower back pain- a perk I wasn’t even expecting. If anyone is interested in simple well-being, getting in shape, or a healthy lifestyle- Lauren is interested, and I would highly recommend her!

Lauren is Awesome!

Verified client

Lauren has been my personal trainer for over a year and continues to push me in different ways. In our time together I have lost 20 pounds and have changed not only the way I look at exercise but the foods I choose to consume. Lauren makes things fun and we laugh a lot during our hour together that sometimes you barely notice that she is kicking your butt. We use the TRX, BOSU, kettlebells, you name it! It’s always different and always challenging. She keeps you focused on your goals and helps you to create new ones too. She makes it very easy to want to keep coming back….I don’t dread our time together and I certainly have noticed an overall difference in my body as well as my spirit!
