Lauren and Evolution Mom is the best! I cant say enough!! The environment is fun, but challenging. I wish Evolution Mom was around during and after my pregnancies, but I am so glad to have found it now. Postpartum is for life and these classes will make you feel your strongest, while hanging out with friends!

Working with Lauren has been amazing and incredibly helpful! I was a lifelong runner up until I had kids and then ended up taking 5 years off. When I was ready to get back into running I knew that I needed support as my body was not what it once was. As a fellow runner and mom, Lauren developed a personalized plan that met me where I was and accommodated my busy working mom schedule (even letting my kids join me during the sessions). With each session she was able to assess my progress and make changes to continue to push and strength me. Now I am back to running without any aches or pains thanks to the support and work I did with Lauren! I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Highly recommend Evolution Mom! I started with Build after baby which was a perfect ease back into exercise postpartum. Lauren really helped me focus on my breathing and supporting my pelvic floor which was a big need for me! Then I moved on to mom strong which continued to push me and provides an awesome community of woman! I highly recommend you try evolution mom!! Run don’t walk to sign up!! You won’t regret it- Lauren is truly the best!

Lauren is so incredibly knowledgeable and I made a ton of progress in a short period of time because of her targeted approach. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain or just looking to get stronger and learn more about their body.

I am so glad I found Evolution Mom and cannot say enough good things about it. Lauren is absolutely wonderful and so welcoming from the minute you walk in the door. Being a new mom, I needed some guidance on how to get back into exercising safely but also a place that allowed me to bring my new baby along. Evolution Mom was the perfect fit and more! Lauren even has the studio stocked with toys and baby gear to help with keeping the little ones occupied. I started off with the Build After Baby classes and they were so helpful in giving me a foundation on what to do with my new post-partum body. I loved these classes so much that I continued with the Mom Strong sessions. Lauren helps you feel more and more confident in your abilities with every class. The atmosphere at Evolution Mom is truly wonderful. You get a great workout in each class, while meeting and chatting with other friendly Moms! I highly recommend joining!

I've been attending classes here for over a year, and I can't say enough good things. The variety of classes keeps things fresh and engaging, and every workout is thoughtfully designed to help moms build the kind of strength and mobility they need for real life.

Lauren creates such a positive and welcoming environment—she’s incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each person’s journey. The studio is also kid-friendly, which makes a huge difference for busy moms. I always leave feeling stronger, supported, and inspired!

I have been part of the Evolution Mom community from the beginning and I am so happy to have found friendships, solidarity and a new found appreciation for my post partum self. I was nervous to start working out again after having my third child, and that was heightened by the fact that I am a PT myself. Lauren tailors her class so each person in whatever phase of motherhood can feel comfortable but appropriately challenged. Each exercise is picked with a functional activity in mind and she will absolutely modify if needed. I feel stronger and happier, and my kids love going too!

I cannot recommend Evolution Mom highly enough. I have been taking the Mom Strong classes for about a year and a half now and love everything about it. Lauren is extremely knowledgable and able to adapt the exercises to all levels. I have gotten so much stronger and have no more pain in certain areas that were bothering me before. I love that I'm able to bring my child with me, and it's also been a great way to meet other moms. Highly highly recommend!

I’ve been attending the postpartum and Mom Strong classes, and I absolutely love them! The workouts are perfectly suited for moms at any stage. They are helping me gain my strength back after having 3 kids in 4 years. The best part is that I can bring my baby along. Lauren is very supportive and welcoming. Highly recommend for a mom looking to prioritize herself! Especially the postpartum class for when you want to keep your newborn close by. Her program is such a great addition to our community.

I worked out at Evolution Mom for my whole pregnancy, up until 38 weeks. I can confidently say it made my c-section recovery so much smoother. I felt so strong throughout my pregnancy and postpartum was a breeze (all things considered). I am now in the build after baby class and feeling great. I would highly recommend evolution mom!

I cannot say enough good things about Evolution Mom and Lauren! After my second baby I was in a lot of pain due to an injury sustained during pregnancy. This program helped me feel stronger and more confident with my post partum body, and Lauren took special care to ensure I was protecting the injured area. I’m so glad I found Evolution Mom and I can’t wait to start my next round of classes! Life with 2 kids is hectic!! Having a gym that not only allows your kids to be present, but encourages it, is really special!

Lauren is AMAZING! After having my baby, I felt lost on how to safely rebuild strength. She knew exactly what my body needed and made every session focused, encouraging, and super effective. I’m stronger, more confident, and feeling better than ever. Highly recommend to any new mom!

Lauren and the Evolution Mom community provide a challenging workout in a fun and supportive environment. I wish I had these classes during/after pregnancy, but so grateful to have them now! Although my children are already school aged, it’s never too late to improve mobility and focus on areas of strength necessary for all moms. The hour flies by like a morning coffee date with friends - all while getting your sweat on!

Before joining Evolution Mom, I would randomly work out one or two times a month and constantly make excuses for myself like that I was too tired or I had to watch my daughter. Lauren’s gym is the best way for moms (aka me) to drop the excuses and get back to a workout routine. Lauren gives modification options to make the exercise easier or more challenging based on your fitness level, and she ensures that your posture is correct so you don’t injure yourself. Evolution mom has a communal atmosphere that’s totally free of judgement. The fact that I can bring my daughter along with me and she can play with toys or other children (or eat snacks that she undoubtedly smushes into the floor) makes getting a workout in easy for my lifestyle. It’s important to me to model active behavior for my daughter and keep my body mobile so I can continue to lift her and play with her for years to come. The classes are early enough to attend before work and there’s a time slot for every schedule. I can’t say enough good things about Evolution Mom, if you’re thinking about trying it, definitely invest in yourself and your health and join in on the fun :)

Evolution Mom is a great program for anyone looking to get back into working out. I started with Evolution Mom when I was 8 weeks post partum and was devastated when I had to go back to work. It is a great community and I love that my daughter could be with me while I worked out. Lauren is an excellent resource and a master of her craft. She is very knowledgeable about all things pre and post partum. I can not say enough good things about Lauren and Evolution Mom. I am so happy to be apart of the community!

I can’t say enough good things about Evolution Mom and Lauren. I started about 8 weeks postpartum from a difficult pregnancy and Lauren has given me all the tools to improve my strength and flexibility. I love how she focuses her classes on the rehab of our core and pelvic floor in addition to strengthening so we can keep up with our little ones. As an instructor and physical therapist, Lauren is super knowledgeable and helpful. She also is a shining light to everyone’s day, always smiling and full of energy. I’m so grateful for Evolution Mom. I would have never made such good progress on my own!

I can not recommend Evolution Mom enough! Lauren is an extremely knowledgeable physical therapist and instructor and love her carefully planned classes for the real life mom! She has fostered a fun and comfortable workout (not intimidating) expirience in her studio! Her classes are great for those on day 1 and those on day 10000+ she can help anyone feel stronger on their fitness journey.

Warm, welcoming environment for moms of all stages to workout. Bring your babes and kids or come alone, it’s all good. My toddler loves coming along to workout with me and her baby brother. The owner, Lauren Mandell, is knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. She offers an essential service to the community!

I cannot recommend Evolution Mom enough; it’s been so great and Lauren is awesome! I started going for lower back pain at 9 months postpartum because the pain was impacting my daily life. Lauren was able to work with me to address the pain and the underlying issue as well as help me with general strength training to avoid future problems. I now also attend the Mom Strong classes and they are the perfect workout class for busy moms! I love that I can bring my son with me when needed, and the classes are the perfect mix of cardio and strength training with some breath work and stretching mixed in. I highly recommend the classes if you’re looking for a good workout in a fun, judgment-free environment!

Evolution mom is owned and run by Lauren. Her workouts, space, attitude, and the evolution mom experience are way every town needs. It is no shock that she is a physical therapist, every workout is challenging but accessible for every age and stage of pregnancy and motherhood. Her gym itself is the perfect size for kids to run wild and she keeps it clean and full of toys for kids of all ages from new born up to preoccupy themselves while moms move. I have been looking for something like this for a long time, where I can bring my daughter and she can be a little tornado at times and Lauren is calm and comfortable maintaining the pace while she pulls out every exercise band off the shelf. When moms with younger kids need to nurse or babies fuss Lauren is right there to offer a hold a modification so mom can still get a work out while baby is breastfeeding.

I would recommend evolution mom to any mom in the area!

Best place to workout if you're a postpartum mom. I've been going there since my daughter was 4 months old. I bring her to every class. She loves watching us all workout and see the other kids running around. Lauren (the owner and instructor) will hold my daughter if she's fussing. The studio is extremely baby/kid friendly and is a nice community of moms. I nurse during class and feel extremely comfortable and supported doing so. 10/10 recommend Evolution Mom!

I can’t recommend Evolution Mom enough for new moms needing postpartum care. Lauren has been absolutely wonderful in helping me regain strength and improve my core after childbirth. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference in my recovery journey. I've seen significant improvement under her guidance, and her expertise in postpartum rehabilitation is evident. If you're looking for a caring and effective therapist, Lauren is definitely the one to go to!

I am so happy I found Evolution Mom! As someone who has a hard time getting motivated and gets intimidated when trying new classes, I felt so at ease during my first class. Lauren offers many different modifications for the exercises, that it was easy to jump into exercising again postpartum. I look forward to her classes each week!

Finding Lauren was one of the best things in my postpartum journey! I was eager to exercise after having my first baby but was very intimidated. Lauren has so much knowledge and is very welcoming. Her classes are exactly what I was looking for and are baby/kid friendly! It’s so nice to be with other moms going through postpartum and getting a great workout in to help get stronger in postpartum. I wish I found EvolutionMom during my pregnancy! Thank you for all you do Lauren, this is such a crucial element for us moms, especially us new moms!

Lauren has treated me on and off for many years and she is truly the best. She is very knowledgeable, positive, and has been the best PT I have seen. She really cares about her clients and is dedicated to getting you back on your feet even stronger than when you walked through the door. Could not recommend Lauren enough!

I have seen Lauren on and off for years for all kinds of issues and she is hands down the best PT around. She has always gotten me back on my feet, no matter what I've come in with. I was able to run through my whole pregnancy up until the day I went into labor thanks to her! She is knowledgeable, skilled, and caring and really can fix anything and get you feeling your best!
