Tell us a little bit (a lot) about yourself:
Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm a part time student studying a double degree in Exercise science and nutrition science. I currently work as a gym instructor and PT at Waves Leisure centre. In the past I have done a music degree majoring on Saxophone. After many years of teaching, I decided that it was too sedentary and wanted to keep on the move.
I have 2 kids (6 + 4). I train in martial arts and as a triathlete. I have just completed my first marathon and am looking towards a half ironman.
