Lauren Harper
Owner, Certified Personal Trainer
Lauren is a NASM certified personal trainer and owner of our private, training studio. She has been training and coaching clients in the southwest Louisiana area since 2020. Her services include muscular strength building, endurance running, and mobility.
“My goal is to educate and motivate individuals to create a sustainable and healthy lifestyle that ensures both strength and confidence.”
I haven’t always been into fitness. In fact, most of my childhood and young adult years were spent significantly overweight and inactive. I didn’t play sports; I HATED running; I never wanted to try new things; I was shy, self-conscious and living in fear of what other people thought of me. It wasn’t until my early twenties that I realized my health was holding me back and keeping me from living the life I had envisioned for myself.
It was in 2012, when I decided to make a change. I decided to start taking care of the body I had been blessed with and put in the work I knew necessary to make my goals a reality. I didn’t do it alone though. Over the years, I have been coached by other fitness professionals who gave me the tools I needed to overcome the unhealthy lifestyle I had grown accustomed to.
Over the last twelve years I have lost nearly 80lbs, married my biggest supporter, gained two precious children and have built a life that I truly LOVE living. Working with a personal trainer not only helped me get physically stronger and healthier, it helped me understand just how rewarding it is to receive the gift of health.
Now I am blessed with the opportunity to give that gift back. I get the front row seat to watch individuals create their strongest and most confident selves.
You’ll often hear me say, “Fitness looks different on everyone.” You don’t have to be an athlete to train with me. You don’t have to be an extrovert to feel a sense of community. Heck, you don’t even have to know what a burpee is to get a good sweat! You just have to show up, put in the effort and commit to the work it takes to live the life you dream of living.
Our team will be there to guide you every step of the way. You’re strong. You can do hard things.
Shaye Stubbs
Cancer Exercise Specialist, CPT
Shaye is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and the only Cancer Exercise Specialist in SWLA. Her services include mobility, post-rehabilitation, corrective exercise and muscular strength. She has been with our team since August 2023, and has brought so much perspective and knowledge to our gym.
“I, myself, am a cancer survivor. My cancer diagnosis in 2019, changed my career path. I felt a constant calling to work with other cancer survivors in this area. In 2023, I decided to follow that calling and it has truly been the best and most fulfilling decision.
It is such a blessing to be a part of our client’s health journey. Experiencing someone reclaim their health and quite literally rebuild their body, is something that will never get old.
If there is one thing I want people to know it’s this:
You are never alone in your health journey. I’m there with you when you feel you are in a dark place, starting over or simply don’t know where to begin.
We are in this together.”
