Lauren Hastings
Owner, Coach at Fort Fitness

Lauren is a coach, part owner, and one of the driving forces behind Fort Fitness. In fact, Fort Fitness wouldn’t exist without her vision, energy, and belief in what a great gym could be.
A CMPC with a career rooted in human performance, Lauren believes the best coaching starts with trust and human connection. She has a unique ability to see the things people often don’t see in themselves and then challenge them to become better because of it. Her coaching style is high-energy, direct, empowering, and occasionally fueled by some well-placed tough love.
Lauren works with everyone from first-timers to seasoned athletes, with a simple goal: get the best out of the person standing in front of her that day. Outside the gym, she’s an accomplished ultramarathoner, snow skier, dog mom to Carl, and unapologetic fan of heavy barbells and being on the water.
As a part owner, Lauren also helps shape the Fort behind the scenes through nutrition coaching, content, events, and the culture that makes Fort Fitness what it is.
