BalancedBodi is an ever-growing company eager to improve the community's overall health. Started by Lauren Labagh, with many hopes and dreams invested, she is determined to make you happier with your exercise routines. She has been involved in competitive athletics every year since the age of 4. As a San Francisco Native, Lauren participated in basketball, volleyball, and rowing during her four years at St. Ignatius College Preparatory. As a member of the Varsity 8 Rowing Team, she helped lead her team to Gold medals in the State Championships and Bronze medals in the National Rowing Competitions two years in a row. After high school success, Lauren earned a scholarship to row for California State University, Sacramento where she completed with a BA in Family & Consumer Sciences. After completing college and rowing, she was determined to continue down the road of health and fitness. She earned her Masters of Sports Science degree from the United States Sports Academy studying Sports Management in 2008. Upon completion of school, she enrolled in programs to enhance her teaching capabilities. Completing a Water Safety Instruction program in March 2008 and a Yoga Certification in June 2008, she began teaching immediately. 

Currently, Lauren partakes in one-on-one appointments and small group appointments, while simultaneously teaching a variety of fitness classes at LifestyleFIT in San Francisco. Her business as tripled in the last 12 months alone. She is determined to give people an opportunity to envision their true potential and make a difference in how people view health and exercise. Aside from BalancedBodi, she also is the Coordinator of Fitness, Wellness & Aquatics at San Francisco State University.

She is selective on the clients interested in her programs, wanting each client to put in as much hard work and dedication as she does; and admits that the client is as much responsible for achieving the results as she. But Lauren's techniques soften the blow by making workouts fun, challenging, and a bit different each time.
