End of an era… sort of. ❤️
Tomorrow is Coach Lauren’s last day as one of our regularly scheduled coaches at The Gym on 5th.
Lauren has been here since the beginning. And when we say the beginning, we mean before this place became what all of you know it as today.
Over the years, she has coached countless classes, welcomed new members, encouraged people through hard workouts, celebrated PRs, put up with all of our crazy programming ideas, and helped create the community and culture that makes this gym what it is.
There are people who work at a business, and then there are people who become part of its story.
Lauren is absolutely part of the story of The Gym on 5th.
We wouldn’t be the same place without the time, energy, friendship, and heart she has poured into this gym and our members over the years.
Thankfully, this isn’t really goodbye. Lauren is just stepping away from regularly coaching, which means she finally gets to come to the gym and actually work out instead of telling the rest of us what to do. 😂
And we’re definitely not letting her get away that easily. You’ll still see her around the gym, and hopefully we can talk her into jumping in and coaching a class from time to time.
Lauren, thank you for believing in this place from the beginning. Thank you for everything you’ve given to our members, our coaches, and to us personally.
We love you, we’re grateful for you, and you’ll always be one of the OGs of The Gym on 5th. ❤️
Come and give her the best sendoff possible by attending one of her last classes tomorrow! The biggest gift would be showing her that you are giving it all you’ve got! 💪
