Thank you so much, your DVD's have helped me fit into my jeans after I had my daughter ten months ago. You provide a great outlet for people to get in shape. I don't belong to a traditional gym anymore but your workouts always get my heart pumping. I have all three volumes of your Ulitmate Body Sculpting and Conditioning with Kettlebells

Having worked out under Lauren's expert supervision for almost six months, twice a week, I feel stronger than ever before in my life, toned and energized. She introduced me to Kettlebell training which is challenging and fun. Yes, that is swinging an 18lb weight, soon to be more. Lauren has motivated me to work hard and accomplish things I would never be able to do on my own. This is one of the benefits of working one-on-one with such a knowledgeable trainer.
Thank you, Lauren.

Workout without feeling like you are working out! Lauren is an awesome trainer! She keeps you motivated and switches it up, so you are never bored AND on top of that you don't even feel like you are working out. When the class/session is over, if feels like barely any time has passed and I cant wait for the next one! Highly recommend Lauren as a trainer.
-Rebecca

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your service regarding shipping. I ordered some DVDs yesterday, and I received them today! Thanks so much!

Lauren designed a personalized nutrition program that took into account my hectic crazy schedule, taught me how to fuel my body with food, and how to enjoy eating again. Since starting her program, I lost 10 pounds (my weight is at 156 lbs). I am 35 years old and weigh less now than I did when I turned 30! I dropped 2 pant sizes, lost 2 inches off both my waist and hips, and my fat percentage dropped to 32%. An added bonus, I have more energy, do not have cravings to eat junk, got rid of my dependency on diet soda, and sleep better than I have in years. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with Lauren and I recommend her nutrition program to anyone that wants to learn how to eat for life. Also, Lauren is a kettlebell certified instructor and her article "How to train like a man, when you are a woman..." inspires me to keep working hard with my own kettlebell training. I recommend her services highly!! Thanks Lauren for helping me achieve what I thought was impossible :) You ROCK!
-Regina H.

The Perfect Workout: Lauren is an awesome personal trainer and kettlebell technician, I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in a 'real workout'.
-Marco L.

I emailed you way back when I first got your dvd about getting blisters (problem solved, loose grip did the trick!) And I wanted to say thank you again for working so hard to put this together. Thanks to your help, I've lost 50 pounds this year and in numbers, that's great but how much better I feel is amazing, and I needed to extend my gratitude to you for being such a huge part in my success. Thank you again for releasing your dvd's, I hope you know how helpful they are to others.
-Samantha

Lauren is a wonderful trainer. She has great motivating powers with a gentle and easy personality. Kettlebells provide a really powerful and efficient technique, and Lauren combines it with her vast knowledge of physiology to create an amazing workout!
-Ann

Most Awesome Trainer
I have taken many group and private sessions over the last 20 years and have never had such a great experience as I have with Lauren. Not only is she very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and nutrition, but she keeps her clients very motivated, her classes are always moving and fun, and she pushes just enough to make you want reach the next level. I feel very fortunate to have found her!
-Della

I also wanted to let you know since reading your email I have decided to try my hand at clean eating. I have the foundations of what is good and what is bad from practicing WW and since reading up on what clean eating is, i learned how easy it is, and how much I am already really doing it. Ditching points and calorie counting in these past 6 days have made me feel FREE! Its insane how much pressure it really took off me. I feel like i am not obsessing anymore and it just comes naturally and i don't feel "guilty". Something personally i struggle with.
Discovering you and your workouts, blogs, tips, and suggestions has honestly changed my life. I don't think I could ever go without exercise in my life. The change it has made in me is life changing. The way it makes me feel about myself is something no bottle or diet could ever give. And even though it may make some laugh, and its only been six weeks, i know i could never go back to the way i was before.
I know you probably get these emails, hundreds of them daily, but thank you! Thank you so much! My start weight 6 short weeks ago was 175, and my weight as of today, six weeks into KB's is 158. Well on my way! Thanks once again!
-Rebekah

I have always been a runner and fit. However, once I hit my late-forties, between nagging running injuries, and the fact that it was getting harder to keep off inches around my waistline I had to find something new. I decided to try kettlebell classes with Lauren. I have never felt so good about the way I look, and I get lots of compliments. The best thing about kettlebells is that you DON’T bulk up; you only get leaner, stronger and more sculpted!
-Robin D, Teacher

I could have never accomplished what I have without your help, support and incredible generosity. I really can't express in words how appreciative I am. I am feeling and looking better than I have in MANY years, at least 5. It's like being a whole new person and it feels really great! I could seriously go on and on but I just really want to be sure that you both know what a huge impact you've had on my life. What you guys do for people is amazing and I just feel lucky to be a part of it. I honestly wouldnt even have been able to get started with the contest if you both werent so willing to do whatever it took to help me, I'll never forget that!! People like you give the whole weight loss/fitness industry the type of reputation that it should have, you're what it's all about; genuinely getting pleasure from helping people to be, feel and do their best!
-Beth B.

I want to thank Lauren Brooks for the wonderful nutrition program she gave me. It worked so well because it was really more of a healthy way to eat than a diet. As we all know diets never work because you have to change your eating habits for life to lose weight or inches and keep them off. I was never an obese person, however I realized after utilizing Lauren's nutrition program that I wasn't a healthy eater. I never realized how much sugar was in my diet and how much I was lacking basic fruits and vegetables. After sticking to a strict program for two months along with exercise I lost several inches and went down a few sizes. Most of all, I now eat a lot healthier than I ever have and feel a lot better physically. Thanks so much Lauren. Your nutrition program is the only thing that has worked for me and not made me miserable in the process.
-Catherine D.

I wanted to let you know that I received my DVD Vol 2-for my sister and Vol 3-for me, and the Gymboss 2 days after I placed my order. You guys offer such great and impressive service!! Although I guess I have to get off my lazy butt now and get to working out!! =)
-Lynn W.

Dear Lauren,
I want to let you know how much I enjoy your workouts. I have the Ultimate Sculpt and Conditioning Volumes 1, 2, and 3 and also your Workshop DVD. Lauren, it is such a pleasure to workout with you. I've been working out seriously with weights since my son was born 12 years ago. I discovered kettlebells about 3 or 4 years ago and was working out exclusively to Anthony DiLuglio's workouts until I discovered you. While I still throw in one of Anthony's workouts from time to time, I use your workouts 2-3 times a week. I really like mixing and matching different segments. For example, this morning I did Vol. 1 - 40 minutes, plus the Finisher and Core section from Vol. 2. It was an awesome workout!
I hope you and your family are well. I know you just came out with Vol. 3, but I have to say I'm already looking forward to Vol. 4! Thanks for all of your hard work.
-Linda

Great: I've had the opportunity to take Lauren's classes. Simply put: she's awesome. She knows her stuff, has a great personality and makes kettlebell training fun! I would recommend her to anyone.
-Joe

Lauren Rocks!!!
I have seen great results from taking Lauren's Kettlebell classes and it's fun! I have a 15 month old baby and not only have I lost all the pregnancy weight...I have lost an additional 13 lbs. I haven't weighed this low in over 10 years. She is very attentive to my individual needs and goals. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone and everyone. The best instructor ever! Thanks Lauren!
-Anonymous

Hi, You introduced me to Kettlebells over a year ago. Before then I had major back pain due to a slipped disc from my powerlifting days. Since working out with kettlebells I have been pain free. Its unbelievable. I am now able to do double work comfortably with my 40KGs. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
-Shawn

Lauren's greatest quality as a trainer is that this is more than just a job for her. She truly cares about each of her clients as people. Over the past 6 years, I had worked with at least 5 seperate trainers, none lasting over 3 weeks. I have now been working with Lauren for over a year.
-Alex S.

Hi Lauren,
I really wanted to incorporate kbs into my workouts however none were available locally. I came across your videos a while ago and was really anxious to get them as your instruction on form is probably one of the best out there. I also like your no frills approach as well. Having been to your site, I was able to see how much you've helped others whip themselves back into shape and just be healthier on a whole. As soon as the sports store got kbs in, I went out and got Ultimate Body Sculpting and Conditioning Volume 1. Before I did minimum strength training and some pilates. My routine at home was primarily cardio which helped me to lose weight and actually some gain lean muscle. However, I quickly hit a plateau. Diet has always been an issue for me as I love food. Even watching what I ate, I hit the dreaded plateau. I cannot tell you how much your workout has made a difference and how much I enjoy it. I am alternating between 10lbs and 20lbs kbs. In just 2 weeks of primarily doing your workout both the 12 min to start and the 40 minute one and not overeating, I am down 4 lbs. I also feel much tighter in my core and my legs and well all over actually. I really look forward to doing the workout. My closest friend, who is also into working out, is also getting into your workouts as well. It's really refreshing to see a genuine person put out such a fantastic product. Thanks ever so much.
-Marciana

I love intense exercises! Exercises that make me feel like I am accomplishing something. I found both in Lauren's workouts. It didn't take long before results were obvious! Thanks, Lauren, for your motivating, well delivered workouts!!!
-Mandy G.

Lauren is great. She pays attention to individual needs and focuses workouts around your body. I always leave her class feeling like I really accomplished something. You have to try out her workouts if you haven't already!
-Laura

Very sensitive to my specific health issues. I have a heart condition known as Long QT syndrome and, as a result, have a defibrillator connected to my heart. I am still very physically active and working out on a regular basis means a great deal to my mental as well as physical well being. My adult son told me about his Kettlebell workouts.
Upon inquiring, I was told again and again of Lauren Brooks being one of the finest physical trainers in Southern California. Lauren happens to reside in my home town of San Diego.
Today was my first Kettlebell lesson (private) with Lauren. It was truly a joyful experience. Lauren was made aware of my condition and proceeded to provide me with an extraordinary workout that was both physically invigorating and emotional and mentally inspiring.
I have trained under many workout paradigms over the years, yet the combination of the Kettlebell methodology AND Lauren's incredible support, understanding and care has jumped her to the top of my list of Great Trainers.
P.S. Lauren also provided my husband and me with the joy of meeting her beautiful one year old daughter.
-Christine A. Merson

Phenomenal Trainer....Phenomenal Person!
Lauren is hands down one of the most cutting edge trainers in Southern California! She consistently continues to educate herself from the World's elite strength professionals. What does that make her? A World class strength professional herself. Lauren is not only extremely gifted as a teacher, she is naturally encouraging and optimistic. Frankly stated, I recommend Lauren to anyone who wants a genuine person who can offer you cutting edge training methods to get you to your goals!!!!!
-Franz Snideman RKC Team Leader, CHEK

Just wanted to tell you that you have been an inspiration! I have been working out with Kettlebells for several years but since moving to Orange County I have not been able to find instruction that fits my schedule and have been using your DVD's. I appreciate that you offer multiple instructional modules as I understand form and technique is everything. I absolutely love your workouts and while was not looking to lose weight I have achieved amazing results in terms of toning and strength. Thanks so much!
-Fabrizia

Good workout = Good times
I love Lauren's workouts. Every workout is different from the previous one and I love the variety. I'm always challenged and end up exhausted and sweaty --- a true sign that the workout was a tough one! All I want now is more classes!!!
-Julie

Lauren has been an awesome help - all of her workouts tips have been awesome! She helped me get started with kettlebells - which are fantastic! They have been instrumental in helping me reach my goals! Since I began putting Lauren's advice into my routines - I have seen great results! I am in the best shape that I have ever been in. My workouts are more efficient & my clothes fit better & look great on me! Lauren's tips on protein & carb intake also have helped me attain my goals. I have seen fat loss & real muscle gains using Lauren's tips! Lauren, thank you SO much for the great advice & help!! You are super!
-Heidi

After searching for a fun and motivating workout I finally found Lauren. I am a snowboarder and Lauren's workout has totally prepared me for the season. She looks amazing which is a motivating factor but also her workouts are constantly changing, never boring and always killer. She always demonstrates the proper technique so you don't risk injury and adds different elements to the work out which keeps it fun. You're money will be well spent with this amazing human being!
-Tanya

Discipline & Results
I have know Lauren for over 4 years and she has impressed me with her growth as a trainer and kettlebell practitioner. Several words come to mind when I think about Lauren; confident, determined, strong, focused and a GREAT person. Her kettlebell training is solid, effective and just downright gets people results. She has my highest recommendation as a trainer. Consider yourself priveledged to be able train with her!
-Yoana Snideman RKC Team Leader

A very happy client~you have changed my life!
I am a 45 year old single mom (thanks to kettlebells, look 30-or so they say)
I've replaced working out with free weights and cardio, which allowed me to go from a size 12 to a 4 in about a year, exclusively with kettlebells.
I just worked out with your Ultimate conditioning dvd, and realized, how totally grateful I am to you for all the hard work that you have put into this. Its clear how totally dedicated you are, and I just want you to know what a source of strength and inspiration you are to me!
I am a spiritual teacher and professional psychic, and am creating a very deep spiritual path, putting it "out there," and whenever I feel overwhelmed, like "where do I start???" you are a role model that I call on, watching how through day to day dedication, in spite of being a mom with VERY young kids (mine are now 16 and 13), you continue to show up day to day for your passion. That to me is a true leader.
I'm just really grateful to you, and wanted you to know that you have touched my life in more ways than just giving me a great butt and abs (although I am eternally grateful for that-so is my fiance, lol!)
Just wanted to send love and thanks to you, and let you know that people you may never meet really appreciate the love you put into your offerings to the world! Much love and many blessings!
-Theresa M.

I highly recommend Lauren's online training and nutritional advice to anyone interested in taking their health and fitness to the next level. Lauren provided me with easy to follow exercise and nutritional information that allowed me to bust through a slow rolling plateau that I had been plagued with for several months. Lauren's excellent communication and knowledge made it very easy to follow her recommendations and allowed me to obtain my goals. I'm very grateful to Lauren for the enlightenment and progress I've made!
-Clint C.

I wanted to send you a personal email to tell you thank you for your incredible videos! I am a mom of a beautiful 15-month old daughter. I came across an article for kettlebells in Fitness magazine a little over a year ago. While researching buying a bell, I found your website. Due to your great reviews, I purchased your first video. I began working out with Volume 1 in January of 2010 and started the second video the following May.
I LOVE your videos! At first, your positive/hard working attitude kept me motivated to workout. Now, the results I have gotten motivate me. As a valentine to myself, I purchased a new bell and have again moved up in bell weight. I’ve always exercised and worked with weights, but I’m now in the most incredible shape of my life…post pregnancy!
I work in Nashville, TN at a small non-profit with 9 other women. I have raved about you for so long that my co-workers asked me to bring my video in for them to see what kettlebells are all about. Since then, several of them have purchased bells and also rave about you. (We “kettlebell” together in our conference room.)
So in short, you’re great. Thanks for the motivation and fun workouts!
-Courtney

I reached out to Lauren while training for my RKC. I was following a great program but I felt like I needed a different approach to boost my confidence. I sent Lauren my current program and with the looks of it she believed that I was on the right path and well prepared. That’s when the question came up: would you still like my help? And I immediately said yes. Lauren sent my two programs first, and I started to PR right of the bat. I was Pressing, Swinging, Snatching, Squatting, Cleaning and doing Get ups with weights and never thought possible. A few weeks later she sent me two more programs and my progress shot through the roof. I gained more mobility, strength, endurance, and hypertrophy was just an ad on. I passed the RKC and it was not easy but with Laurens program and motivation, it prepared me well. I believe Lauren is a phenomenal instructor and ahead of her time. Her approach to kettlebell training is one of a kind and reaps results faster than any program that I’ve ever tried. She knows her stuff and is one of the top instructors in my book. Thank you Lauren for making me stronger and more confident.
