Care flighted to a Trauma One Hospital where Dionne, highlighted member of Lauren's Playground, was in a horrific deadly car accident. They are lucky to be alive. Please read her story and if you feel at all compelled, here is a GoFundMe page set up to help her with expenses.  Hi Lauren, My spouse and I had flown to AZ to visit her mother on 9/2. We were there less than an hour when we got T-boned by a truck that ran a red ligh t.  Luckily, all of us survived. I've attached pictures just so you can see how amazing that is.   I was care flighted to a Trauma One Hospital and spent 6 days in ICU and 9 days on the Ortho floor recovering. I had a l acerated spleen, liver, and pancreas; fractured L4 disc; and, multiple broken ribs . They did emergency surgery to fix the lacerations when I first got there. While I was there I had to have another procedure to put a Stent in my pancreas because it was leaking enzymes . I still will have to have another procedure to get that removed. 

Next time you're thinking you may be too old to commit to a training program or get started, I want you to think about Wally Chute, an active Kettlebell coach and lucky for me, a loyal subscriber to my newsletter/ articles. I figured it was time I highlight Wally for you all, to give you a little inspiration, to show you what you can accomplish and how powerful this well rounded training really is.  Then when you're done reading about Mr. Chute, check out a few announcements below! I always welcome feedback and comments. Thanks for reading!  Meet Wally: My name is Wally Chute, a certified 85 year old “kettlebell/bodyweight hybrid” instructor where, in earlier years, I taught  various other classes such as TBC (Total Body Conditioning), Boot camp, and a Medicine Ball class I assembled, where I filled our ballroom with participants (Fun, but still something missing) As soon as the kettlebell gained momentum after Pavel’s introduction around 2001, I knew I could be on to something

Introducing Playground LITE! A lighter monthly version of the incredible Lauren's Playground. Instead of access to many all level programs at the same time, you will get access to one effective Playground program every 4-6 weeks.  I am also opening LITE + a Weekly live option as you can see in the comparison check list.  Check out the details below! Due to receiving many emails from people asking me when Lauren's Playground registration is open again, we only open twice a year, I polled the community to see if people would be interested in a lighter version, while they wait. Or maybe a lighter version is easier on your finances and provides less choices.  I bring you  join LITE here join LITE + WEEKLY LIVE HERE What LP members had to say about  me offering a LITE version right now to the public.  Playground membership was the best thing I ever did!! I think a Lite option for those who want/need it would be an awesome way to access the programs!!!  Nikki Y. Completely life chang

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Meet Cathy Schlaht Began her training at 54 years old!  Left - Before Discovering Playground Strength       Right - After, consistency,  and 30+ pounds lighter A few words from Cathy Schlaht “I cannot believe how much I have transformed and how I know I can continue to gain strength and sculpt. You have the formula! No matter where someone is starting from, they will gain strength. Losing weight is a side effect and the amount you lose will depend on how many small changes you are willing to make. I never lifted weights, never strength trained in my life, never belonged to a gym. If I can attain these changes everyone can!! Lauren will meet you where you are and help you if you have pain or lack of mobility. This is her magic!! If you are ready to transform your mind and body, join us. You will feel supported by the community in Lauren’s Playground and we have the most caring, grounded and inspiring coach!!” Watch her video here!  Cathy, a dentist and a mother of 2, b

Meet 52 yr old, Dionne, and member of Lauren’s Playground ! Dionne is 52 in 2 days and feels stronger than she ever has in her whole life. She started liking training again, after hating it during her basketball days, when she went to grad school and took up running and weights.  Dione says: “My main focus had always been cardio up to this point. I completed two half marathons & then decided never again. I wanted to move on to challenging myself to get strong & lean, not just lean. I've been using your workouts since your 1st DVD and have never looked back. They give me a great workout whenever I need it. Once I joined the Playground, however, things took off ,  doing different types of strength exercises (e.g., TX trainer,  battle ropes) to supplement my kettlebell training, and t he power of group support was all new. I didn’t realize I was suppose to be going up in weight. All this has changed and I'm benefiting from doing/having all three. I feel strong an

Just pondering on how lucky I feel to have found “smart” training, versus “hard” training. My body, along with most of my clients bodies, have responded VERY well… to the point that people stop them all the time and ask them how they look so strong and young! Yeah none of us have to kill ourselves in our sessions. In fact half the time we don’t even get sore. We have energy all day for the rest of the stuff we need to handle in life.  In all honesty  I don’t do “cardio”. I don’t track my food. I train in a Zen mode a few times a week and have a very minimalistic approach. Like VERY minimal!  I do put sleep as a priority in my life which is a big part of how one responds.  People assume I workout all day long. When in fact I barely train.  My days are spent training others, designing programs, raising kids, keeping a house hold together, and taking care of my 400+ members in Lauren’s Playground and On The Edge Fitness. I also now have time for friend meet ups, fun activities, and creati
