When I hire someone, I want them to be supportive, but not to the detriment of them telling me what I need to hear, otherwise it’s a disservice. It delays my progress, and as I age, I have less time to waste.

And since it is harder to get back into exercising after a hiatus than it was in my younger years, it’s just too easy to make up excuses.

You did the right thing in my book.

Exercise to me is not about “tough love” it is about aging with strong, healthy bones and mind in order to lift my grandchildren, dance with them, enjoy life with them for as long as I can. I am 61 years old and just went rock climbing with my grandchildren of 9 and 5; I don’t know who was prouder me or them. Without Lauren’s help in getting stronger and more balanced, I would never had had the strength or ability to do that.

I for one need tough love! I can think of excuses with the best of you, but I know how important it is to exercise and try very very hard to keep to my schedule. Lauren is always good in motivating me in a gentle but firm way.
