Lauren Rocks!!!

Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Good workout = Good times	Rated 10 out of 10
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 - Encinitas

Most Awesome Trainer

Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Phenomenal Trainer....Phenomenal Person!

Rated 10 out of 10

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!!!!!

Lauren is the best!!!

Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Very sensitive to my specific health issues

Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Workout without feeling like you are working out!	Rated 10 out of 10
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

Fantastic trainer and nutritionist, and an awesome person.

Rated 10 out of 10

Lauen is not only a kick-ass kettlebell instructor she is also a great nutritionist. I worked with her online to help me shed weight I had put on since turning 30. This is not an easy task, My goal is 35 lbs and 6 years later, I had not been successful in achieving that goal. Her nutrition program taught me how to eat, and she helped me shed 10 lbs and rid me of my diet coke habit. Showing up to the RKC cert in Sept 2006, I was leaner than I had ever been and had good healthy eating habits.
Unfortunately, this year, I gained back the 10lbs, as I had stopped following the program, However, Lauren being the awesome person that she is, wants all her clients to succeed. She would not let me give up on myself and she helped me figure out what needed to be changed to get back on track. I am now dropping weight.
Whatever your goals are, you owe it to yourself to train with Lauren. Next to deciding to train with kettlebells, investing in her nutrition work was the best investment I have made for myself!

Wonderful Trainer, Even Better Person	Rated 10 out of 10
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 Shekhter - San Diego, CA
