Athlete Statistics

Early Life

Growing up, Lauren Findley was always in the gym, but only in a casual manner. In her early schooling days, she would be a part of her school’s track team, and this type of exercising would translate to her gym activities. She would oftentimes find herself going to a gym, and running on a treadmill a few times a week. However, she never took things too seriously, considering herself to just be a typical gym-goer.

Although she was always conscious of her diet, Findley would regularly be eating junk food. In particular, her college days saw her partying a lot, and not taking care of herself. Eventually, she got tired of this lifestyle and decided that it was time to make a change. Finding inspiration from some of the fitness models on social media, Lauren would slowly begin to devote herself to a lifestyle of fitness and bodybuilding.

Lauren Findley – Bodybuilding Career

Admittedly, Lauren Findley had to adjust her training style when making the jump to being a full-time athlete. She was used to doing the running and leg work that comes from her background in track. However weight training was a completely new venture, so there was a lot of learning at first. Teaming up with legend Hany Rambod, she was able to get all the learning that she needs.

Nevertheless, Lauren stayed at it and persevered, picking up best practices for training and diet along the way. Eventually, she became confident enough in her physique to try her hand at a bodybuilding contest. So in 2015, she would enter the NPC Gold’s Classic event, competing as a figure competitor. Ultimately this would prove a valuable learning experience, as her fifth-place performance would give her insight into what she needed to change to win at a high level.

Over the next year, Findley would keep her nose to the grindstone, working on making improvements. Using what she learned in 2015, she was able to adjust the weaker areas of her frame. Then she brought a far more complete package to the stage at the 2016 NPC South Jersey Championships. This would pay off too, as she would win this show.

Despite the fact that she has not competed since then, Lauren has not completely given up on her bodybuilding endeavors. She is still working to bring her game up, even though she has put more focus on her modeling efforts in recent years. Nevertheless, she eventually hopes to do enough to earn her IFBB Pro Card at some point.
