Fitness Program

Are there different levels to Lauren's programs or is it for all fitness levels?

As the programs are personalized for your own individual needs, they can be made for all fitness levels. Each program increases in difficulty and intensity throughout the period of time to constantly challenge your body.

I'm a beginner, will this be too hard for me?

If you’re a beginner and have access to a gym you can select any of Lauren’s programs. If you don’t have access to gym equipment then we recommend you choose Lauren’s Beginner At Home Program.

Are the programs customised to my needs?

Yes, Lauren’s programs are customised to your needs based on your goals and your food preferences, using Lauren’s own unique training methods. However, Lauren’s challenges are not customised. Please refer to the product description for each challenge for more information.

Will I need to buy fitness equipment?

You do not need to buy fitness equipment to do Lauren’s programs, unless you are completing the At Home Beginner Training Program. For this program we recommend getting your hands on some moderately weighted dumbbells and a booty band.

Do I need to join a gym to do Lauren's fitness programs and challenges?

You do not need to join a gym to do Lauren’s At Home Beginner Training Program, but all other Fitness Programs and challenges you will need access to a gym unless specified.

How will I receive the workouts?

You will receive the workouts in digital format through Lauren’s online training platform. You will also be able to download and print your programs as a PDF.

I'm struggling to stay motivated, help?

Starting a new program can be exciting at first but we understand that sometimes your motivation wanes after a few weeks, this is why Lauren sends inspirational tips weekly on how to stay focused and achieve your goals. We know you can do this and we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Who can I talk to about my program?

We have an expert team of trainers and nutritionists waiting to help and guide you on your journey, please contact us at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com

I'm not losing weight, what am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately, your body isn’t a computer and we don’t have control over when it decides to lose weight or where it loses it from but if you’re following the exercise and meal plans your body is definitely changing. Your photos are so important for this reason, you may not feel the changes initially but you will definitely see them in the first few weeks of starting your new program. We’d also encourage you to avoid the scales because you’re training hard and building muscle and the scales can’t show you your muscle growth and can be discouraging.

I feel really good and I want to do more, what can I do?

Your training program is designed for best results so we’d encourage you to follow the program how it’s been written, however if you want to increase your weights to increase the intensity please go ahead.

Can I double up my training sessions?

More is not always better, so we don’t recommend you double up your training sessions - two workouts twice a week does not equal one workout four times per week which is why Lauren has designed her programs to be spaced out throughout the week to include rest days. The split between rest days and training days is so important to your progression and achieving your goals. However, we understand that with busy schedules you may need to change things around, if this is the case please contact one of our trainers at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com and we’ll be happy to help.

How important is stretching and do I have to do it?

Stretching is so important to prevent injury and DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). We encourage you to warmup and cooldown with each training session, this includes a good 5 minute stretch at the beginning and end of every session.

I'm struggling with a particular exercise, is there an alternative?

Some exercises will be difficult if you’re not used to them, we’d encourage you to try them and ask for assistance if you need it. All the exercises have been placed in the program for a specific benefit, however, if you’re really struggling with an exercise please contact one of our trainers at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com and we’ll be happy to give you an alternative.

What if I don't have time to do all the training sessions in the week?

We understand life can be busy and you may be struggling to find time to fit in your exercise plan each day, if this is the case we’d encourage you to contact us at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com so we can offer you some solutions. We don’t recommend you double up your sessions as this could result in injury and fatigue.

I'm going to be competing and would like Lauren to write a program for me?

You go girl - what a great goal to set for yourself. Lauren does not currently offer programs for competition prep. This is something she would love to offer in the future - watch this space.

I'm a male, can I do Lauren's programs too?

Absolutely, Lauren’s programs have been designed for both men and women to enjoy, so jump in guys we’d love to have you on the team!

Are Lauren's challenges customised?

Lauren’s challenges aren't customised, however, some of her challenges will allow you to choose different fitness levels. You can choose between a regular or vegetarian meal plan and there are 3 different calorie levels to choose from.

Can I choose when I want to start my program or challenge?

Your program will begin within 15 minutes of creating your account on the training platform. If you are doing a customised program we can change the start date to suit your needs, however, if you are doing a challenge the start date is set and we’re unable to alter this for you.

Meal Plans

How will I receive my meal plan?

Your meal plan will be available on Lauren’s online training platform once you have created your account. You will also be able to download and print your programs as a PDF. The meal plan will be delivered weekly, and updated every 2 weeks so you don’t get bored.

Can I adjust or customise the meal plans?

Your plan is customised to your individual food preferences and goals. You will be able to swap your meals from within your plan. If you have any other questions on adjusting your plan, email us at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com

I usually eat higher protein, can I substitute some carbs for more protein?

The majority of meals from Lauren’s plans are approximately 30% protein. However, if you are used to a different macro split then it may take your body a week to get used to the change in macros. If you are used to a higher protein diet and are nervous about a higher carb approach, here are some options:


1. When there is a carb heavy meal, half the carb content and increase the protein content.

2. Eat the carb heavy meals around your workout so that way they will fuel you and be burnt off as energy relatively quickly.

3. Add a scoop of OxyWhey to a shake in the morning/post-workout/dessert and decrease the fruit content.


The way you pick the meals could change the macro split to 40% protein, 30% carb and 30% fat. Please let us know if you have any other questions, email us at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com.

Are the macronutrient values given for cooked or raw food?

All the macronutrient values for the foods that appear in your meal plan are measured raw unless stated in the name (such as oats).

Are there vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes, there are both vegetarian and vegan options with Lauren’s customised programs. As Lauren’s programs are completely individualised, most allergy requirements can be catered

for. Please email us at support@laurensimpsonfitness.com if you need more information about your meal plan requirements.

Lauren’s challenges include a regular or vegetarian meals plan ad you can adjust the vegetarian option to suit your dietary requirements as a vegan.

Can I drink coffee?

Yes you can, but try to drink it without milk or sugar! Do try to limit your beverage consumption to water, no-sugar-added iced tea, black coffee, and other zero-calorie beverages.
