A prototype of the month certificate for lauren dublin

 

The criteria and standards that we look for when our team puts in their nominations for Prototype of the month are Coachability, Caring, and Community and in our opinion, Lauren encompasses all three of those qualities handily. Congratulations Lauren!

 

1.) Share your experience at Prototype

My experience so far at prototype has been amazing. From day 1 everyone was so welcoming and helpful.  Brian was so patient with me even though I was a little on the needy side for a new person (literally had no idea what I was doing!). Coming to class makes me feel accomplished and sets a good energy for the rest of my day. I can honestly say that I really look forward to coming to class and being challenged each day!

 

2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype?

I love the overall sense of community and the friends I have made. Again, everyone has been so friendly and welcoming not only to me but also my husband and kids!

3.) What are your hobbies and activities?

At this point in my life, I find much of my hobbies and activities are centered around the kids.  Weekends are filled with driving around to hockey, football and soccer games. Needless to say, I’ve become a big sports fan!  Skiing in the winter and trail walks with my family and our dogs are always fun. And of course long days on the beach with friends in the summer.  Anything outside in the sunshine! I also enjoy painting/refinishing vintage and antique furniture.

 

4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem?

A year and a half ago when I started coming to the gym I was in serious need of some “me time”.  I found myself completely overwhelmed with 4 kids, a full time job, and my mother with Alzheimer’s had recently moved in with us. I needed a break, badly – something to keep my mental and physical well being in order.  Taking class has become a much needed distraction and quite possibly one of my favorite hours of the day!

5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point?

I feel that I have come so far in the 18 months I have been a member. I’d like to continue to be committed to this one hour of the day to take care of myself with the overall goal of just staying healthy!

Shreeja has shown incredible progress during her time at PTS and we are so lucky to have her as part of our community! Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our August POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. Joining Prototype was one of the best decisions I have made in my fitness journey. My first class was a blur of burpees and sweat, I could hardly keep up. A big shout out to all the coaches who are top tier, the workouts are constantly varied but always effective.I have hit the strength goals I never thought possible. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype’s tight knit community is unique. It has taught me that showing up, even on tough days, builds more than just muscle- it builds grit and community. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love dancing - it is one of my happy spaces. I am a homebody- love to spend time at home with family and friends. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I was inconsistent with fitness and struggled to stay motivated. I needed a structured way to build resilience. The Prototype community has helped me push through self doubt. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My goal is to keep pushing my limits. I am not just chasing goals, I am excited to see how far I can go and just keep hitting the PR’s on the way 😀 6.)
