Her signature style blends high-energy throwback remixes with rhythmic choreography, transforming workouts into an experience that flies by and keeps you coming back for more.

Off the bike, she’s a busy mom to three young athletes and wife to a Charlotte Fire Captain—celebrating 20 years of marriage this summer.

In Lauren’s class, inclusivity isn’t just a value—it’s the ride. She creates a space where every rider, no matter their background or fitness level, feels empowered.

I believe cycling is for everyone—no matter your age, experience, or fitness level. What I love about cycling is there’s no competition, no spectators, and absolutely no pressure to “keep up.” It’s just you, the rhythm of the music, and a room full of people chasing their own version of strong.

We ride in a dark room, not to hide, but to free ourselves from judgment. The dim lights, energizing playlists, and motivating atmosphere create a space where you can tune out the noise and tune into yourself. It’s a place to push past limits, clear your head, and reconnect—with your breath, your body, and your purpose.

This isn’t just a workout. It’s therapy on a bike.

It’s joy. It’s release. It’s community.

And it’s for you.
