Lauren grew up in Florida, playing and/or coaching tennis from elementary school through college. Fitness was always a part of her life, but she struggled comparing herself to other girls in a “regular” gym setting; being skinny was the goal and cardio was her master. Lauren started CrossFit in 2016 after years of her sister trying to persuade her to come try it out. She would invite her to competitions and Lauren’s response would always be “So I just come and watch people workout? No thanks.” Little did she know how fun of a sport it is and how much impact CrossFit would have on her life! Since beginning CrossFit, Lauren’s perspective on health and fitness has been drastically changed for the better. Now, strong is the new skinny, nutrition has a purpose and amazing community is just an added bonus! Not to mention Lauren met her husband while he was coaching back in Florida and they now have 4 beautiful children!
Lauren loves helping others, specifically women, reach goals they didn’t think were possible (her goal when she started CrossFit was to do just one pull-up before she died!). She has a passion for coming alongside others in not just their fitness goals, but in life, and sees coaching as a way to impact people’s lives both inside and outside of the gym. She holds her Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism (PPA) certification, is a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer (CF-L2), and has her Master’s in Occupational Therapy.
