Health, Wellness & Fitness - Pasadena, California, United States
The first time you meet Lauren Herrera, you'll know why she was voted San Gabriel Valley's #1 Fitness Trainer. Lauren understands that when people fail to meet their health and fitness goals it is often because of personal trauma, lack of self-esteem, or any number of factors that can contribute to an unhealthy mindset that disrupts the mind/body connection. An unhealthy attitude or self-destructive mentality can be a major deterrent for people who strive to get their body into shape. By teaching clients how to embrace the heavy lifting that comes with life, Lauren helps them build internal and external strength. Enthusiastic and empathetic, Lauren's upbeat style allows her to motivate clients with an inside-out approach by simultaneously working on the mental aspect of fitness; helping clients overcome mental blocks, personal challenges and self-destructive behaviors while also showing them how to apply various techniques, exercises and regiments to their fitness program. While there are certain staples to health and fitness, Lauren doesn't subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. Each body and each mind are different and should be treated with compassion and care to get the best results. Lauren has worked with competitive power lifters and Olympic athletes as well as being trained as a "second generation" Pilates instructor, meaning her teacher, Ron Fletcher, was taught by the creators, Joseph and Clara Pilates. A certified professional in the fitness industry for nearly fourteen years, Lauren has worked alongside and learned from Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and a diverse group of fitness experts. Years of experience and training have allowed her to perfect her overall approach to health and fitness and to acquire specialized knowledge in areas like gliding nerves and rehabilitating joints which, when combined with her expertise at Pilates, gives her clients the best of three foundations to great fitness; 1) strength training, 2) flexibility and 3) fat loss. Lauren has faced some unique challenges of her own. In transforming herself and persevering, she has learned profound life lessons that connect her with her clients and give her special insight into the correlation between mind and body and how to bring out the best in everyone that she trains. Inspire physical, mental and emotional strength, wellness of mind and body and empowerment of existence.
