Lauren Kate Austin Fitness

Never would I have thought that 10 years ago I’d be where I am now. 10 years ago all I wanted was to stop being a bulimic, end the viscous cycle I fought on a daily basis. But now here I am; and it’s all thanks to Dewayne J Malone.

I walked into his office 10 years ago and told him I wanted to do a show that was in 9 weeks. I knew I needed to do this for myself, I was steered in this direction of competing and I just knew Dewayne would be able to kick my ass and get me there.

Also realize that during this time I was teaching 5th grade; I was extremely unhappy, unfulfilled, stressed to the max everyday. Oh and also making 36k a year.

A few months after I started, He offered me a job to work for him as a trainer a I jumped at the opportunity. For 2 years I trained with him and for him; observing and learning how to run an actual fitness business.

Fast forward to 2018 when I had my first 6 figure year. A number so foreign to me coming from teaching. I have repeated and grown every year since then; even in 2020 when the gyms shut for 3 months; I signed new clients and had a platform to do so. This is not a charge $99 a month for personal training mentality, this was a charge what your worth mentality.

I am looking forward to Dewayne’s continued mentorship and working in his Mastermind for trainers and see where I can take myself and my business.

How it’s going VS. how it started…Flash back to the 5th grade!

I was an awkward kid…always in trouble for talking, wanting to just play sports, ride my bike, be independent, find my own way. So I’m the loudest in the gym, I still love riding bikes and I’m always keen on a new adventure in life. Ive over come many battles to be where I am today; but I needed to go through them; I learned from my mistakes, my failures. But nothing and no one can stop me!

Self-Acceptance is the most liberating feeling. When you stop nit picking every little thing about your body, see it for the beautiful being it is. It’s the vehicle that will take you through the rest of your life; so only accepting perfection is exhausting. Accepting the cellulite…the number on the scale…the big b***y I have built 🤪. (Sure it gets in the way but I built it!!!)

Sure I’m not competing anymore, so the the road after the stage has been rough; many ups and downs with my weight, How I felt about myself. Sure I have goals for self improvement; both mentally and physically. But I am going to enjoy the ride, accepting what I look like at each step. Loving the good, the bad and the ugly.

Capturing these moments in time only help us see our hard work from the outside.

SWIPE! See how it started vs. how it’s going! Years of back development in between. No short cuts, or magic pill, just hitting all the right angles and lifting heavy. Even in a dress, I’m ready to flex!

I can rock the bun, but I also LOVE the glam!

Years ago, i would never have had to confidence to rock a sports bra in public or even feel worthy of getting my make up done. I lacked the confidence to be proud of myself even. I always thought I wasn’t good enough. I hid behind a mask of my eating disorder, thinking I would never be good enough or deserved beauty and success.

It hasn’t been an easy journey but I am here. Working out isn’t just “being in the gym” for me. It’s the vehicle I used to create a stronger, healthier and empowered version of myself.
