Laren Grey Umphlett


"Laren is an exceptional teacher and I don't state that lightly. I am a PhD in Exercise Physiology, train Olympic athletes for the USA Triathlon Federation and have supervised biomechanics and strength training programs for athletes for many years, and on the personal side am a long course multi-sport athlete, therefore my standards are very high the rare times I work with someone. My goals were specific strength building along with flexibility. His use of body weight approach was correct and precise and I started to see the changes within a couple if weeks. The 3 months I worked with Laren put me in the best shape I had been in almost 10 years and would have continued with him had he stayed in Florida. He is professional in his approach and he aptly conveys exactly what he wants from the student. He is by far my favorite teacher."

"Laren is a very challenging personal trainer. I learned a variety of strength moves from him. We started out with very basic moves, where I learned some key techniques in order to have a foundation to build on with my future training sessions. It is amazing how much I thought I knew about doing a squat, but quickly realized that such a simple move is actually very complex.
Most importantly, I learned how to control my breathing and my mental stamina, which has led me to take on many endeavors in all aspects of my life. I highly recommend his training to any person at any fitness level. He is very good at tailoring the workout to your specific needs; you will see results in your body and it will help you improve your overall well-being."

"Training with Laren is an interesting and eye opening experience. I came to him to improve my running, but he never once trained me in any running, but my running improved dramatically through strength and balance training and by increasing my overall physical attributes. He has taught me that there is more to running than running, and more to fitness than fitness. He is a very intense trainer that emphasizes the mind and the body."

10 Simple Things You Should Do Every Day



1. Wake up.
It may seem obviously silly to suggest waking up, but it is the most important part of your day! How you wake up is the second most important part of the day. Let your feet touching the floor for the first time be a very deliberate and positive experience.

2. Walk.
We walk every day, always going somewhere, but maybe we should try walking nowhere every day, even if it isn't very far.

3. Read.
Read, and study. Sharpen the mind. There is never a shortage of things to learn.

4. Eat.
This is another silly suggestion, but so many people feel hunger and instantly put anything considered to be "edible" in their stomach. Being mindful of what you eat every day can transform your life mentally and physically.

5. Stop.
For no reason, just stop. Anywhere. Stop, to smell the roses, watch an animal, observe something artistic, experience the sunset. There are many ways to stop, and there is plenty of time to do so.

6. Deep Breathing.
Breathing is the most important thing you do, and you do it all day long. Be mindful of your breath. Every single moment of your life is a breathing exercise. Appreciate it.

7. Laugh.
Laughter is a moment in which everything disappears.

8. Meditation.
There are many methods of meditation. All are useful. Meditation can change your life for the better no matter who you are. Do you want your life to change for the better? Practice makes it possible.

9. Brush Your Teeth.
It is the first step of health. I recommend fluoride-free natural toothpastes.

10. Drink More Water.
Water is life. Drink more and feel better. Most tap water is contaminated, so find special sources of just water. Pure H2O minus the harsh stuff.

I'll agree with drinking plenty of water everyday, and of course eating foods. But I only mean healthy foods, just to be clear. :P
