I believe that if we focus on our health first, the results will come when we take care of our body as a whole. I work with a team of specialists whom I refer our clients to get them the best care in every aspect of their lives.
With my clients we set realistic and sustainable goals. Together we identify, build, and achieve these goals through consistency, focus, perseverance, passion, support, and encouragement.
In our virtual training classes, we create community by working together in a team environment that welcomes all ages and skill levels. Working out should be fun and fulfilling. I work with my clients to feel confident in their abilities and to achieve a fitness level they have not experienced before. They also gain satisfaction by seeing a decrease in body composition, inches lost, increased muscular strength, improved endurance, a more active metabolism, more energy, better mood, and overall health awareness.
Every day of training includes setting an intention and celebrating every success. No matter what obstacles one may face on a daily basis, as a personal trainer I coach, inspire, motivate, and empower my clients to train for THEIR life. I believe health is the backbone of life. Having this solid platform will allow you to conquer your life with confidence, strength, passion, love, and positivity!

lauren van keulen
Lauren's interest in movement and living a healthy life began in her very early years when she started playing sports! Her drive and desire as an athlete in elementary and high school eventually led her to California and landed her a position as a pitcher for the St. Mary’s College of California Women’s Softball Team. The experience gained as a Collegiate Athlete and her education in Kinesiology made her curious about what she was going to do to stay active and healthy when she wasn’t playing softball anymore. As a result, Lauren’s passion for health and fitness launched her into the fitness industry after college where she began her career in personal training at a private health club. After three years of training, Lauren was promoted to Fitness Supervisor and then Fitness Manager. From there, Lauren’s love for working with clients, training small groups, and teaching classes led her to creating Train-for-Life in January 2014.
Over the last 14 years Lauren has not stopped learning, and her curiosity and passion for assisting clients in training-for-life has broadened her perspective on what health and fitness actually mean. Through the challenges with her own health, she has gained more appreciation for how fragile one’s body can be and the importance of becoming the expert of your own body. Lauren stresses the importance of putting yourself and your health first, as well as having compassion for yourself so that you can show up for your life fully present and with strength and pure joy.
