- Who inspires you?
- I am inspired by so many people - my partner, my family, my friends, other people in the LEKFIT community, activists, health care workers, teachers, small businesses making it work in this crazy world...basically everyone making it work in these crazy times we're living in.

- What does community mean to you?

RUTHIE
- How long have you been working out with LEKFIT?
- I have been doing Lekfit since November 2019! I did it for a few months in the pop-up studio, and then streamed it for 2 years, and then have been back in the studio doing it for about a year 5-6 times a week!
- What changes have you seen in your body + mind since you began working out with us?
- Overall I just feel so much stronger. Every week has new challenges, but I feel with my consistence to LEKFIT, my body accepts and loves the challenge. For me it is an hour a day, I completely unplug and do something entirely for myself. I always leave feeling energized and happy. My mind needs it as much as my body. I truly look forward to it!
- What is your favorite thing about your LEKFIT workout?
- It is always changing, so I never get bored, and honestly I find it to be so much fun! I am smiling inside the whole time. I get into the moves and the rhythms every week, and I find it is a great mental escape. I look forward to every Monday to find out what the challenges are going to be that week, and I get excited by the end of the week, when I finally feel like I’ve mastered some of them.
- What is your favorite thing about the LEKFIT community?
- Everyone is friendly and it’s not an intimidating place to work out. Also, the energy of the class makes it feel like you are all in it together, and makes the class speed by.
COURTNEY
- How long have you been working out with LEKFIT?
- I started streaming as soon as LEK introduced the streaming service in 2018!
- What changes have you seen in your body + mind since you began working out with us?
- I noticed just how strong I am! Specifically during my pregnancy, as I continued to follow each weeks sets, I felt like my strength had the purpose of preparing my body for a repeat C-Section’s recovery as well as staying strong and healthy for my littlest love growing inside of me! Postpartum, I noticed that I didn’t have issues with lifting myself or my newborn up (C-section mamas know that feeling post op) and everything seemed to come back together so much more quickly because of the strength I maintained by continuing my LEKFIT workouts my entire pregnancy!
- What is your favorite thing about your LEKFIT workout?
- My favorite thing is that although the workouts are all difficult (and I do sometimes curse your names for the burnout) they are so incredibly fun! The playlists always match the energy of the movements, and the cardio is so fun that I look forward to the daily drops!
- What is your favorite thing about the LEKFIT community?
- The community that Lauren has cultivated is one that is so empowering! There is so much support that I feel in hearing other women’s testimonials and seeing highlights of everyone’s sweaty selfies and workouts! It’s a beautiful thing to have a community around women supporting and celebrating each other through each individual’s fitness journeys.
- What advice would you give someone just starting with us?
- The main piece of advice I would give would be don’t try to be perfect from the beginning! You don’t need to be a dancer, or be in “elite” physical shape to get started. You will figure out how to do an 8 count in your head, you will learn to tune into your body to feel the movement where it should be working, and you may feel a little bit like an awkward duckling through the dancey bits (I know I certainly still do from time to time) but you are crushing it, and you will feel more and more graceful the more you practice through each week’s videos/classes!Little extra bit of praise…..The LEKFIT method is the only workout that I have ever stuck to in my entire adult life. I had previously started something that felt right or was trendy, but eventually there was always an excuse to take a day off, which turned to days off, to weeks off to no longer following.LEKFIT’s methodology makes it impossible to want to quit. There is so much variety, and for an intense personality, like myself, all the cardio allows me to release any negative energy that may have built up during the day and surrender to the routine.All of the physical benefits and results I have experienced over the years aside, the boost that this program has given my mental image of myself is something I will be forever grateful for. I actually love my body for every wrinkle, every stretch mark and every curve because it all is a piece of my journey. Lauren, and all of her instructor’s have helped build up that self love and acceptance through their encouraging words and insane positivity. They will all kick your butt through a workout, but man does it feel like an accomplishment everyday to do something purely for ME. I will forever be grateful for LEKFIT 🖤
WENDY
- How long have you been working out with LEKFIT?
- I have been doing this workout since January. I shoot for all seven workouts each week and have only missed one or two the entire time. They are too good to miss❤️.
- What changes have you seen in your body + mind since you began working out with us?
- I have worked out very consistently for years, but I have been pleased that this program has helped me lean out a little, find definition that I had lost (without adding bulk) and the workouts leave me truly energized for the day ahead.
- What is your favorite thing about your LEKFIT workout?
- All of it! As someone who is really committed to working out, I love that every single day as a challenge. I love that the program has a plan, and you simply login each day and move forward with the prescription. Every muscle is worked, and every single day my heart heart rate gets up. So, with that, it’s EVERYTHING! The fast paced cardio. The rebounder. The variety. The equipment. The daily drop, so every single day is different! All of it!
- What is your favorite thing about the LEKFIT community?
- I love that the Facebook group is there for support, that LEKFIT engages with us and it feels like a community.
- What advice would you give someone just starting with us?
- Do it! Truly, this program can be modified for many levels, they’ve got workouts for when you travel, for when you are short on time or even when you have extra time and want a little more. I cannot recommend LEKFIT enough.
TERRI
- What are your 2021 resolutions?
- I want to continue to improve my mind and body by eating healthy and keeping up with my workouts. I also want to continue to work on being a better teacher for myself and my students.

NICOLE
- Message for the LEKFIT community?
- Even on the days when you think you can't I am here to tell you that you most definitely can. the days where we need to push ourselves just a little bit harder are the most rewarding.
- Who or what are you most thankful for?
- I am most thankful for my husband and son who consistently push me to feel confident and beautiful. they always see the good when I am struggling too!
- How do you give back to yourself?
- Give back by reminding myself to allow grace and not be so hard on myself so often. this also involves long baths with music, my LEKFIT and yoga sessions, dark chocolate, monthly facials, baking, and late night romcom sessions with a glass of wine in hand.
CAROLYN
- Message for the LEKFIT community?
- Ladies - you are all WARRIORS. seeing you all sweat it out on IG stories and in the LEKFIT FB group GIVES ME LIFE! I love hearing everyone's wins, relating to your struggles, and I've even made LEKFIT friends around the world.
- Who or what are you most thankful for?
- I'm most thankful for the people around me who lift me up, advocate for me, and show me what love looks like. the shutdown has allowed me to really strengthen and nourish relationships that matter to me and it's a huge silver lining of this tough year.
- How do you give back to yourself?
- I give back to myself by being kind to my mind and body and giving it what it craves. If it's a sweat sesh, I prioritize it in my day. If I'm feeling anxious, I do a little Headspace meditation and use tactics I learned in therapy. If it's a big bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, I'll honor that too ;)

- My husband and my best gal pals. they've all been my biggest cheerleaders and support systems throughout this wacky year. I couldn't have done it without them.
- How do you give back to yourself?
- By carving out an hour each morning for LEKFIT. when I've been asked how I stay so consistent working out, it's because it's the one hour a day that I get to dedicate solely to myself and it's literally the one thing I can control in a year that has felt so out of control.

- How do you give back to yourself?
- I take care of my health by doing BOOST 5x a week and following a healthy-gut based diet, and I unwind (and reward myself) with a glass (or two) of Good Clean Wine Rose, a juicy chick-flick book, and the occasional Susiecakes cupcake on the weekends.

- How do you give back to yourself?
- I give myself that time to sweat. In return I see defined shoulders & biceps, slimmer thighs, a leaner back... but I also find I am not automatically turning to food for anxiety or boredom.
