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!

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

Thank you Lauren,

Christine A. Merson

P.S. Lauren also provided my husband and me with the joy of meeting her beautiful one year old daughter.

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 - San Diego CA

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 - San Diego, CA

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 Duncan, Teacher in Solana Beach

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 - San Diego, CA

Having worked out under Lauren's expert supervision for almost six months, twice a week, I feel stonger 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 aknowledgeable trainer. Thank you, Lauren.

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.

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!

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 - San Diego, CA

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 Clark, Everett WA

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.
