Okay everyone, this is my story! I graduated from being a personal trainer about two years ago, and at the time I was a struggling contractor in a big box gym. I reached out to Lauren, because she was the only influencer/business coach that I knew of that specifically catered to fitness professionals. I had been, at that point, following her since early early 2017 – I’m talking, I might have even been following her in late 2016 when I started my fitness journey. On the call, she was incredibly pushy and told me that I was making a mistake by being a one on one personal trainer and a gym, – why would I do that when I could be focusing solely on my online business? I told her, that’s a big risk. But she doesn’t listen of course! She was really pushy. Anyway, I’m really glad I didn’t do it! I went to my bank and asked for a loan for the course, and the lady told me don’t do it, go to one of the local business coaches instead. First of all, this woman probably doesn’t even know about your local market lease alone about anything to do with business at all. I’m glad I listened! I ended up having to block her because she kept messaging me
My personal thoughts on Lauren is that she has terrible fashion sense, and I really don’t like the way she looks so smug and all of her photo shoots and professional photos. I think her strength has always been her stories with the question and answers, bc even though I don’t particularly like her I still find them entertaining.
Oh, and I have one more thing to say! Her voice absolutely grates me and it always has. The way she says the letter “I” (eg: “optimiiiiiiise”) and all of her vocabulary absolutely rubs me up the wrong way. It’s like she’s trying to sound more posh then she actually is?
