Meaningful change requires a holistic approach.
The word Kalo is derived from the greek word Kalon, meaning beauty that is more than skin deep. When we clarify what we stand for in life and start living accordingly - embodying the person we strive to be, doing the things that matter deep in our hearts, moving in life directions we consider worthy - then our lives become infused with meaning and purpose, and we experience a profound sense of vitality and internal motivation to take care of these vessels we are in.
At KALO we foster this deeper growth with a variety of tools including nervous system regulation, contrast therapy (sauna/cold plunge), breathwork, monthly coaching, scientifically based programming that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit, functional medicine, nutrition and intentional community building events to create an environment where we can all help each other show up as the best version of ourselves.

Lauren has been a coach in the Denver fitness community since 2019. Health and Fitness has always been a part of Lauren’s life; engaging in all sports such as long distance running, hiking, biking, and playing basketball.

She developed an interest in fitness and the ‘why’ to movement; from then on she gained a wealth of information in areas of biomechanics, program design, and exercise physiology. Lauren’s light comes from seeing growth in others! She believes the best part of being in the fitness industry is being able to remind anyone that being “healthy” is beyond a physical aspect. She aims to see her clients glow with confidence and be able to take that into any area of their life.
