Lauren Lichterman, a critical player in the ginger-lead hostile takeover of Dane’s Body Shop, was born in Memphis Tennessee and educated at the greatest academic institution the world has ever known- Hook ’em Horns baby!

After completing her Sport Management undergrad at Texas, (fun fact: Lauren and fellow coaching great, Coach Monica went to school together!) Lauren worked for many years in facilities and operations for the University’s athletic department, managing sustainability initiatives and customer service programs. She then went on to get her graduate degree in Sport Management as well and continues to work in sport in her new job, consulting on sustainability initiatives for sport and live event venues.  Basically she’s a sustainability Mega-Goddess who will smite anyone bold enough to stand in the way of her helping her fellow humans and the earth that they inhabit!  This gal has small feet, but a huge heart.

Lauren holds a personal training certification from NASM and was recently certified in The Barbell Rehab Method with Coach Selah.  Coach Lauren is exceptionally familiar with both the Strength and Fusion programs as she was a DBS member for basically a million years prior to becoming a coach.  She puts respect on all the lift’s names, but is particularly thirsty for the deadlift.

Outside of sustainability and lifting, Lauren has absolutely no life at all… Jokes!  Lauren is a one person social hub, actively participating in many of the Dane’s Body Shop subcultures, such as the 5am Warriors.  Lauren is currently cohabiting with an adoring feline named Yoda and may or may not be one of the world’s foremost jello-shot engineers.  If you want to hear the dulcet tones of her voice, you can check out “Tell Me More About That”, an informative and breezy podcast that she co hosts.  Rate and review my friends!
