A champion at an age most retire
Lauren began competing in her 40s and kept winning heavyweight and overall titles into her mid-50s. That isn’t luck. It takes a rare kind of discipline.
Beneath the Muscle
She didn’t start fierce.
She didn’t start fierce.
She got there.
Firefighter. Addiction survivor. Heavyweight champion at an age most athletes retire. Then Hollywood came calling.
The Roots
Valedictorian, surfer, entrepreneur
Raised in Southern California, Lauren graduated valedictorian from Huntington Beach High, then ran her own surf academy on Maui while earning a business degree at the University of Hawaiʻi.
The Fire
Pushed out, not put out
She served as a firefighter and engineer until discrimination forced her out. She fought back in court and turned that fight into fuel for a whole new life.
The Fight
Rising above addiction
She beat drugs and alcohol, rebuilt from the inside out, and found her purpose in iron, discipline and faith.
The Crown
Ten-time champion
From 2002 to 2014 she took heavyweight and overall titles from California State to Muscle Beach Venice, competing and winning into her mid-50s.
The Spotlight
Screen, stage & story
HBO, E!, MSNBC and TLC, films with Seth Rogen and Kacey Musgraves, and music videos for Lady Gaga, J.Lo and Justin Bieber. Then came a best-selling book that reached readers in 11 countries.
The Mission
Making champions
Today Lauren pours everything she has learned into other women, helping them become strong, seen and financially free at any age.
