about me

Lauren Hefez from Rachel Globe on Vimeo.

…it is just you and the music.

feel the music. hear your pulse. embrace the sweat. see your body change.

I used to dream of walking the red carpet and interviewing the hottest celebrities! The last thing I thought I would be doing is motivating, teaching, and enjoying spending my day with a sweaty group of people. I could not be more passionate for what I do and wouldn’t change it… even for the red carpet.

My dance background shows through in every class I teach. It plays a big part in my class style and how I communicate to you. If I could have one wish for everyone who enters my classes, or any fitness class, it would be to let go, set yourself free, and smile. Workouts should be fun. Really. I want you to dance your way to fitness. Move your body in ways it has never moved. Feel the ground under your feet, feel your pulse, embrace your sweat and all of the physical challenges you encounter. When you are in that studio, I want you to leave everything else behind and think: it is just me and the music.

Hi Lauren! I just found your “best arm workout” on Pinterest a few days ago and I’ve been doing as many of your workouts as I can since. I love your energy and spirit, you definitely keep me motivated and inspired! I’ve sent my mom the link to your desk workouts so she can particiapte while she’s at work! I’ve gained 20 pounds in the past 3 years…I wouldn’t say I’m fat, but I sure have some lol. I’ve been using your videos to help me shed some weight, and it brings me joy! Thanks for all your postings

Hi Lauren!
I found you through your bride arms workout on youtube and I’ve been hooked (and sharing with everyone) ever since! I’ve been planning my September 2013 wedding with my fiance and after finding “the dress” a few weeks ago I have that much more motivation to tone up. With an incredibly busy schedule it’s hard to make exercise a priority some days but through your short videos and infectious personality I’m sticking to it! Thanks so much for what you do…wish I was in Boston so I could take advantage of your classes too (want to move to Chicago?)!

Hi Lauren, I found your video by accident while browsing various topics related to weddings and landed on your bridal arm workout. I started using the three minute video, this is my weakest area. I’ve always had trouble toning and trimming my arms but with your videos, am sure I will have sculpted arms soon enough. Then I decided to check out your website and it was so cool to find out you’re from Boston, we’re in the same area. Also, saw that you’re getting married soon, the weekend of my birthday… well, I’m walking down the aisle a week later on May 18th. Woooohooo – congrats to you! Keep up the great work, love your energy and enthusiasm!!

Lauren,
I just have to say you are an inspiration to me. I used to be a figure skater with an ity bity body. Then working towards a Masters degree interfered with my healthy active life style. I battle food addiction and I’m difficult to motivate but your workouts have been amazing for me. They are short enough to keep me on track but difficult enough that I can really feel a difference. Thank you a million times!
