Eighty Twenty with "Lauren Kleban"

In this episode of "Eighty Twenty", join hosts Georgia Sinclair and Shanina Shaik as they welcome fitness entrepreneur and creator of the popular LEKFIT workout studio and method, Lauren Kleban. Lauren explains how her background as a professional dancer led her to create the LEKFIT workout, which packs a full-body routine into 50 minutes. Classes take place on mini trampolines with motivational lighting and music to make exercise feel like a performance.

A major topic of conversation is Lauren's experience keeping her studio open during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Despite restrictions, she felt it didn't make sense to close since willing participants viewed exercise as beneficial. This resulted in significant backlash and accusations from people who saw her actions as dangerous or political. Lauren grieved losing friends but stayed confident in providing an outlet to stay healthy.

Later in the episode, the hosts explores their approaches to diet, self-care rituals, parenting, and more. Lauren shares her typical food intake. She listens to her body's signals rather than forcing meals.

Overall, Lauren advocates living life over fear, getting sick as part of building natural immunity. The pandemic brought legions of unknowns, but the solution is respecting differences of opinion, not forcing beliefs onto others. People deserve grace to make their own choices. The hosts praise Lauren's strength and free thinking.
