🎂 Happy belated birthday to the one and only Lauren Birckhead! 🎉
Lauren has been training with us for seven months, and what stands out most isn’t just her strength—it’s her consistency, mindset, and quiet determination.
She originally came to us to support her Krav Maga training as she works toward earning her black belt in 2026… but what she’s built in the gym has gone far beyond any one goal.
A “bad knee” that once limited her? She now squats beautifully to depth—strong, confident, and pain-free.
And running? It used to be something she dreaded. Now it’s something she does with confidence—because she learned how to run, not just how to survive it.
Lauren is proof of something we say all the time:
💬 Consistency beats intensity.
And she lives it.
There’s also this—she’s always hot, always reframing, and she thinks mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes like toothpaste (we’ll pray for her).😅
But above all, she embodies this truth from Ecclesiastes 3:22:
“I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy [her] activities, because that is [her] reward.”
Lauren, thank you for showing up, trusting the process, and bringing your energy to our community. We’re proud of you—and we’re grateful for you.
👇🏻 Give her a HIGH-TEN in the comments!🙌🏻🎉
