What Lauren teaches
Lauren's classes are mostly Pilates, and most of them are also about strength. Within that, the range runs from low impact Pilates fusion, which focuses on slow, controlled movement and high repetition, to high energy sessions that combine strength training with high intensity exercise. There are also continuous circuit classes that keep you moving from start to finish, and a smaller group of sessions with a focus on the core and pelvic floor.
Some of Lauren's classes carry a particular feeling or sound. A share of them are built around focus, and a small number bring in DJ and beats, which change the atmosphere of the room without changing the work.
Where and when
All of Lauren's classes take place at Solis Movement Hot Pilates, Yoga & Reformer in Moss Park, East Toronto. Lauren's sessions run about 45 minutes, and the studio's Sun Room is heated, which shapes the pace of the work.
The timing is the defining feature of Lauren's week. Nearly all classes start in the morning, with the earliest at 6:15am and the latest at 9am. Saturday, Monday and Tuesday are the busiest days, and about a third of Lauren's classes fall on the weekend, so the schedule fits both a workday start and a slower weekend morning.
