I have been working with Lauren Elford Sham for over nine months. I could not be more pleased with Lauren or the program. I feel like a totally new person. Gyrotonic is a beautiful way to reconnect with your body, to use your body and your breath holistically to build strength and flexibility. It is also a beautiful and gentle way to approach overall wellness. Lauren is well-qualified as an exercise specialist to teach many forms of exercise. Yet it is evident that Gyrotonic is her passion, as is Lauren’s genuine desire to help others succeed. I had double knee surgeries. I am grateful to Lauren for her patience, passion, and persistence in getting me to where I am today.

I love taking Gyrotronics with Lauren! She takes time to customize the class specifically to my needs and makes me feel confident in my movements. She has improved my flexibility, strength and helped with my lower back and hip pain. Leaving her personalized sessions always has me relaxed and refreshed!

My niece first told me about Gyrotonics to help me with my flexibility and balance. I am 77 years old, want to keep my core muscles tight due to a minor back issue and want to keep moving! I am an amateur ballroom dancer so strength and conditioning all muscles is critical. Lauren knows how the body works and develops a plan particular to you. She adapts each training session to how you are feeling that day. I recently relocated and a Gyrotonics instructor was one of my first searches. Lauren has been a great find! Her home studio is very accommodating with several pieces of Gyrotonic equipment. With Gyrotonics, I truly believe that my body is more flexible than it was years ago. I hope to keep moving and dancing for years to come! And she will help me do this!

Not only is Lauren earnest, she's motivated. I believe she is caring and sincere. She is always learning new methods and bettering her training methods. Overall she is a great coach in that she is on a quest to help me be better at my practice of Gyro.

My first class was virtual due to the pandemic. Even using a virtual platform Lauren gave personalized attention to each member of the class. She was able to coach in more detail where needed. I had been hesitant to take anything of this nature online but after seeing how she was able to fit the individual levels of the class with care and compassion I was enthused to return. Most of my disc are extruded and do not have any cushion between them. The Gyrokinesis class helped move my spine to feel taller and relieved of pressure. Again, having already asked about any injuries/limitations, Lauren was able to let me know when I might want to choose a modification. The attention to clients really makes a difference! Thank you!

Lauren is a great instructor. I have trained with her in person on the Gyrotonic tower as well as virtually for Gyrokinesis. She is always prepared and professional while keeping the session fun and engaging.
I train for obstacle course races and workout in the gym. However, I found that incorporating this modality into my workouts has provided me with greater range of motion which helps me in my competitions.
