Strength and conditioning for active women — in person in Boulder, online from anywhere, or both. Real programming for women who do hard things outside.
If you train hard outside and want strength work that actually serves the sport, you're probably in one of these three camps.
You log 30+ miles a week and your knees, hips, or IT band always finds a way to bench you in October. You need strength work that actually keeps you running.
You climb, ski, hike, bike — sometimes all in the same weekend. You want a strength program that supports the sport, not steals from it.
You're great at cardio but the weight room still feels intimidating. You want someone to show you the lifts without making you feel like the only beginner in the room.
I played volleyball at Stanford. Tore my left ACL my sophomore year and the right one a year later. The second one ended my playing career and started everything else.
Through two surgeries and two long comebacks, the only thing that consistently worked was the strength training. My PTs and S&C coaches became more important to me than the orthopedic surgeons — and I knew before I graduated that I'd do this work.
Today I coach women whose sport is something other than the gym. Runners, climbers, skiers, hikers, cyclists, plus a healthy chunk of first-time lifters. The strength work is in service of the life — not the other way around.
In person at my Boulder studio. Online from wherever you train. Or hybrid — the best of both. Pick the format that fits your life.
A small sample of the women I've coached over the last decade — what they came in for, and what they're doing now.
“I'd been a runner for fifteen years and a hurt runner for most of them. Lauren's the first coach who treated strength as part of running, not something I do instead. I ran my first injury-free marathon at 38.”
“I started training with Lauren because my back hurt after long climbing days. A year in, my back is fine and I'm climbing harder than I did at 25. Worth every penny.”
“I was terrified of the weight room. Two sessions in I was deadlifting an empty bar and I've never looked back. Lauren is patient, smart, and somehow makes lifting heavy feel like the most natural thing in the world.”
I keep certifications current so the work stays current. Continuing education in women's strength training, movement screening, and S&C is on a yearly cycle.
