Hi everyone! My name is Kelsey Eggleston a.k.a. Kelsey Lauren Fitness. (Lauren is my middle name). I am a California native living in beautiful Placer county. I am a simple girl who loves life in suburbia with my family, country music, homegrown roots, fitness and food!

The gym, cooking and baking, hiking, cruising the hills of Placer on the back of an R6, snow wheeling up in the mountains, skiing, Sunday drives with my babe, spending time with my family, Disneyland, early mornings, snow, coffee, Snapchat, hot tamales, sour patch kind (we refer to them as 'the kidz'), home goods, crafting home decor, trashy reality TV (guilty!) and summer BBQs and spending time with my closest girlfriends
HOW I GOT SO PASSIONATE ABOUT FITNESS AND FOOD
Growing up, my mom was really into health and fitness. She was an aerobics instructor herself! She would bring my brothers and I to the gym with her while she would teach. However, being the stubborn child that I was, I wanted her to bring me in the group fitness room with her so I could watch her teach. I remember these moments very distinctly. In addition to being in the gym environment, I was also taught at a very young age the importance food played into my health and how it made me strong and kept me from getting sick. My mom would bring us grocery shopping and talk to me about the labels and what was good and what was bad. From then, I have always been conscious of what I put into my body. Mamas are just great:)
MAKING MY PASSION MY EXPERTISE
After high school, I attended various junior colleges in the area to satisfy general education classes as well as figure out what it was I wanted a degree in. To no one's surprise, I decided to get a degree in nutrition. I attended Arizona State University. This is where I did all of my major coursework. After graduating, I moved back to my beloved CA to be closer to my family. After lots of exploring for the right job, I finally decided to work at my current job in the corporate wellness industry. While I enjoy what I do for the most part, it isn't fulfilling my true passion for helping others and spreading the word about healthy living.
USING MY EXPERTISE TO HELP OTHERS
After utilizing my education in the real world and educating myself even more on the industry, I've discovered that I have a lot to offer on the topic and want to share my knowledge with more than just my colleagues! This is where my blog comes in. My goal is more than just posting on social media and writing on a blog. I want to really help people to live more productive, happy and healthy lifestyles. I have a lot of ideas and work to put in and this is just the start of a lot of exciting content on the topic.
THE LOWDOWN
Anyone today can call themselves a trainer, nutritionist, health coach, lifestyle educator or pretty much anything and portray themselves as experts on social media. While many people may be self-taught and successful, that doesn’t mean that what they teach or promote is right for everyone. I am not saying that everyone else lacks the knowledge. There are tons of people who have a lot of good, useful advice; however, be careful as to who and what advice you take. There is a ton of information out there regarding nutrition and health and as a professional, I can discriminate between lots of myths and popular belief and get down to the nitty gritty of what works and what is just flat out wrong.
My desire is to help inspire, motivate, educate and live by example for those who really want to learn the ins and outs of a healthy lifestyle. We aren’t all striving to be a body builder, Instagram model, brand rep, fitness competitor…I could go on and on. However, we should ALL be taking steps to be healthier. That’s my goal with this blog and eventually, my services. There is no diet, wrap, waist trainer, tea, cleanse, Instagram "model", quick fix or whatever else is out there that actually gives lasting, healthy results, or teaches and fosters healthy habits that are sustainable for your whole life. I want to help others see beyond the outward effects of good health and to help change others into healthy people from the inside out, so they too can be walking, living, breathing, thriving healthy individuals...for life.
I am so excited for what's to come with Kelsey Lauren Fitness. This is just the beginning! I'd love to hear from everyone. Leave your thoughts, comments, insights and questions below. Or just simply introduce yourself!
XOXO
Kelsey Lauren
