Testimonials

Working out with Loren twice per week for just few months, has changed not only my body, but the way I look at fitness entirely. Her bootcamp is absolute hell. It's the one place in which I can completely clear my mind because I'm so fixed on surviving and pushing myself to the next level. This is my form of meditation. I know it sounds crazy, but if I can take my mind off the kids, the bills and all the other stuff, I can definitely focus on my fitness. Thanks for making me uncomfortable Loren. You are such an inspiration. Millie Hewlett, NY

I couldn't have asked for a better fitness mentor than Loren, and consider myself so lucky to have met her. I had always been interested in fitness, knew the basics, and had tried many approaches. After taking Loren's sculpt classes, I was certain she could get me to another level so I decided I would buy one month's worth of training sessions. A year later, I was still training with her...and with results I never knew I could achieve. Before meeting Loren, my goal was just to be the skinniest girl in the room and I wasn't getting too far with that. But she gave me abs, she gave me biceps, and she gave me confidence, determination, and a whole new perception of myself and my capabilities. Fitness has become a huge part of who I am and how I define myself; it is now my biggest passion, the thing that drives and inspires me each day, and I credit Loren for that.

Here is how it all began: I thought I was Miss Tough Stuff, I lifted the heaviest weights I could and spent forever on the elliptical. My first session with Loren, she hands me a 30 lb barbell and a 2.5 lb set of hand weights and I'm thinking, "ohh she's going to be really impressed when she sees what I can do..." yeah, no. "Keep those shoulders down and back...stop rushing...don't let the weight drop...maintain the muscle tension...flex, flex more, flex MORE..." What?? I couldn't even hold up a weight that was 25% of what I used to "train" with. I felt like I had never worked out in my life. That was because Loren made me actually focus, really use and contract my muscles, push my hardest and make the most of each and every rep, set, and exercise. Loren didn't just train me; she taught me valuable, long-lasting techniques. 

Loren is an incredible trainer and an overall amazing person. The intensity, power, and strength she encourages in every single workout, no excuses allowed, are inspiring and life-changing. Just try and see. It goes so far beyond looking good...the physical, emotional, and mental benefits that are gained from her training are truly empowering. Loren taught me to play my biggest, to put in my all, to let go of limits, and to be strong and powerful and to LOVE being strong and powerful. I can't thank her enough for these "gifts" she has given me.

I never thought I would love to work out until I met Loren!   
 
Loren’s fitness training has made such a huge difference in my life! She is the only trainer I’ve ever worked with who: made sure I didn’t get injured, made sure I saw results, and made sure I had fun! That’s the Triple Crown of fitness training, and if you have ever ventured into a gym, you probably know how rare it is to find any one of these things, much less all three together.

I always had miserable experiences with trainers before I met Loren.  They never really knew what they were doing and I usually was both humiliated and injured after only a session or two. So of course I never stuck with it and never saw results.  I just wasted a lot of money and time.  Then, after I had a baby and needed to get in shape more than ever, I finally found Loren. I stumbled into the back of one of her fitness classes, even though I was convinced that I could never get into shape and wanted to crawl into the woodwork. But then a crazy thing happened: Loren was so supportive, and so funny, and such a fantastic teacher that even though I wasn’t very good at that first class, I was motivated to come back!  Because even though it was tough, I wasn’t embarrassed and I didn’t get injured. Instead, I was having fun AND getting in shape.  
 
I have stuck with Loren ever since.  I go to her fitness classes whenever I can, I train with her one-on-one, and I sign up for every Boot Camp she offers. Her training builds both fitness and confidence, and these days, she can even point to me in class and tell people how far I’ve come.  
 
I feel so much younger and stronger, and tougher. And when I saw my doctor the last time, she was so pleased with my weight loss, and I’ll never forget what she said: Oh my goodness, you have DEFINITION in your arms.  You look amazing. How did you do it? I had to tell her about Loren! 
 
If you work out with Loren once, you will be hooked! You’ll be so glad you did! I know I am.

"I have always led an active lifestyle. All high school sports, black belt in karate, hard core skiing, kickboxing etc...All of a sudden, my life came to a halting stop due to cancer. Too sick and weak to move, I just stopped working out completely, and watched my body turn into mush. After many long, and agonizing  months, I finally saw the light to return back to the gym. I grabbed a trainer and slowly started to rebuild my body back. Not happy, I went through trainer, after trainer, after trainer, to the point where I gave up and just decided there were no trainers for me. Years went by, and I discovered Loren through a very good friend. I didn't know what to expect since I gave up on finding the "perfect" trainer. Well, from day one, my expectations were highly met. The hardest hour of my life, but the most rewarding. I've been training with Loren now since July 2012, 2x a week. I still dread walking in there, knowing what's coming (oh, those horrible box jumps) and fear those pink hand weights and damn Bosu ball, but I walk out feeling AMAZING. Loren pushes me hard. When I think "how am I going to bang out 3 more triceps push-ups?", somehow I do. I love feeling stronger as weeks go by, and completing a workout that truly pushes my body where it's never been pushed before. Every time I train with Loren I curse, whine, cry (yes, really) BEG her to count faster, and tell her I'm dying repeatedly. But something keeps bringing me back every week. I'm addicted. I love it! The sickest workout you will ever go through with the best trainer ever.. Loren is my secret weapon...."

"I have to tell you that as much as I have always worked out and am pretty good at pushing myself, I have never had more benefit and effectiveness of my efforts then utilizing the workouts you trained me on.  Thank you again for getting me into the best shape of my life post baby!"

Oh Loren, you are one of a kind. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for being transparent. I admire many things about you, but what I admire most is your honesty and your ability to motivate others by putting yourself on the line. You're a heck of a woman.

Millie-Long Island, NY

Though I felt as if I were knocking on death's door on quite a few occasions during your class today, I am grateful for the chance to be back.
My sanity has returned, thanks to your presence. I can, and will be back to where I was before (in no time). I can say this because I know you will help me to see it through. Everyone should have a person like you in their lives....you make me better. Thank you.
