Lauren believes they are all real women trying to achieve the same goal of getting in shape in a fun and healthy way! She invites all in the area to come into Flaunt Fitness today and watch your body transform before your own eyes!

In Lauren’s opinion, their versatility makes them completely different from any other studio. They offer so many different types of classes and cross training and that is how you become a better athlete, dancer, etc. They have classes that will make you strong and flexible and help you to build a better you!

Lauren’s proudest moment coaching was when her instructors placed in the top three in their first Pole competition ever. She had a female instructor place third in her division and a male instructor place second in his division. This was so exciting and they are now a Full Competition Team with eight Competitors traveling the East Coast competing!

The biggest mistake Lauren sees dancers make is over training. Everyone is always too eager to learn the hottest new move and sometimes they work themselves to the bones.  She believes it is her job to step in and tell them to take a break and re-visit it at a later time. This tactic will always result in them finally being able to get that move

Lauren’s goals for this year are to have more winners in our Competition Team!!!

Lauren has taken dance lessons her entire life. When she went to college, she stopped because of her schedule. After she graduated from college, she discovered the Art of Pole Dance and began taking classes. She immediately fell in love with pole dancing and became a teacher. Lauren became very good friends with the owner and when the owner decided she was closing the business, she offered it to Lauren to take it over. This was the best thing that’s ever happened to her.  Lauren had no idea where it would take her and here she is, three years later, in a business of her own and heading to the top! She said she could never imagine her life without her studio, her staff and her students!

On March 1, 2015 Flaunt Fitness will be celebrating their third anniversary! In 2014, they were Voted #1 Dance Studio in Philadelphia on the Philly Hot List and surrounding areas. This was a HUGE deal for them as they were #1 out of 110 dance studios. If you are looking for a fun and alternative way to get in shape, visit them at Flaunt!

Lauren says, “Get fit and flaunt it.”
