How do you show off your wares? When you are the exemplifying advertisement for your own service, well, you do it with aplomb and, wow, Lauren Lillo has done just this!
\nLillo has been in Hailey for nearly four years. She arrived from Meridian offering a cleaning service. However, as a body builder and walking fitness icon, Lillo was destined to find her passion and clients. She began cleaning and, of course, training at Bigwood Fitness. In the course of interaction with owners Ariel Audet and Jordan Baker, Lillo was inevitably invited on. \u201cI got hired at Bigwood Fitness, cleaning. I dropped my other clients and focused on Bigwood. Jordan encouraged me to do it and basically gave me the opportunity to start training there and also training people while advertising. Amazing. He and Ariel, just wow! I mean, if it weren\u2019t for them I wouldn\u2019t be able to do what I love and reach people in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Never Too Early To Start<\/strong>
\n\u201cFitness is something I\u2019ve always practiced,\u201d said Lillo, \u201cas a teenager, you know, training, working out and bodybuilding. Then in my early 20s I started doing actual personal training, but kind of backed off when I had kids. Bigwood gave me the ultimate opportunity. I\u2019ve been training clients now for a year and a half there and it\u2019s been really good.\u201d
\nAll in stride. Kids are a huge deal. Lillo has managed with her unique Transformation Challenges to completely change lives. \u201cIn the middle of raising my kids and working, I trained a young lady for a bikini competition that only took her six weeks, which is unheard of. Usually it takes anywhere from 14 to 16 weeks. It was our very first show and so, I mean she did really well, but yeah, that was kind of like in the middle and I\u2019m like doing my competitions as well, you know, it\u2019s been a little bit since I\u2019ve competed but that was probably one of my best transformations.\u201d
\nLillo pushes people, challenging self-limiting beliefs, and so takes training beyond the gym with her Transformation Challenges, using an app, in-person and video training to keep everyone on track.<\/p>\n

Healthy Competition<\/strong>
\nThe app helps Lillo create a small community, with a timed\u2014generally monthly\u2014limit to generate measurable physical and mental change. \u201cYou can track your workouts in the app.
\nTrack your your meals. It\u2019s fitness power. You log all your food and it creates a community so I can set up a challenge and they have this graph, who\u2019s hitting all their goals, nutrition for the day, they get points based off of that, part of the challenge. Then I\u2019ll have rewards for whoever wins but it\u2019s nice having this so that they can push each other and I know they all check the scoreboard, you know!\u201d Lillo laughs. People need to be encouraged and by signing up and showing up they find a way to make it work with healthy competition and complete access to Lillo.<\/p>\n

Life Challenges<\/strong>
\nHurdles happen. It\u2019s in how we deal with them. \u201cI actually tore my labrum five months ago. I don\u2019t even know how. I woke up one day, thought I\u2019d tore my groin and, the timing! It was a month before a competition.\u201d An MRI showed torn cartilage. Surgery was recommended. I\u2019m just navigating this injury and finding natural ways, not surgery or drugs, to do it myself.\u201d
\nFiercely individual, friendly, clever and heavily focused on connecting women, Lillo\u2019s photos speak a million words. Lillo is healing, helping and having recently finished up her last Transformation Challenge, currently planning the next one for spring. WIth five cats, one adopted at Paw Prints by Atkinsons\u2019, Lillo is making it happen. We need people like this in our community and the proof is in the pudding\u2026 but just one spoon, now!<\/p>\n
