MEET Lauren

Lauren Behle is a full-time coach and holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from Georgia Southern University. In addition to being certified in exercise nutrition through Precision Nutrition and CCP training, she's completed additional training in metabolism, hormonal health, the Health Mindset Coaching Certification (HMCC), Bioforce conditioning cert, pre & postnatal cert, hybrid training and (completing Functional Nutrition and Metabolism specialization FNMS ?).

Like so many women, Lauren admittedly hasn't always had the healthiest relationship with nutrition and fitness. After putting in the work to challenge years of beliefs about the need to be smaller and learning how nutrition can add to her life, she found that training brought her joy and drive for a bigger goal and allowed her to tap into her body's capabilities and potential. Realizing that she could feel empowered, healthy, and HERSELF- which everyone deserves. Now her mission is to help women see how strong (in all aspects of life) that they have truly been all along.

Lauren's coaching style: she is compassionate with a splash of “let’s do the damn thing”. But quite honestly, her coaching style comes down to what YOU need. Her goal is to make nutrition and fitness a little less complicated and find the options that work for your life, your preferences and your goals because ultimately, this partnership is about you. Lauren's programming is simple + intentional + fun! Her favorite programs are for the gals who want to get strong and are excited to feel athletic AF without spending an eternity in the gym.
