Introducing Lauren, our 20 // Training Camp Female Winner.

Lauren, a 31-year-old Emergency Nurse, thrives on structure amidst the unpredictable nature of shift work at the local hospital. Between long hours and intense situations, she finds her balance in fitness. For Lauren, UBX isn’t just a place to exercise – it’s an essential part of her day-to-day life and social routine. Since joining UBX in 2022, Lauren’s journey has been nothing short of transformative. What started as a recommendation from fellow nurses evolved into a passion that helped her lose an impressive 28kg and win back-to-back Training Camps with UBX Gladstone.

With UBX’s flexible class structure and inclusive community, Lauren fits her workouts around her demanding schedule. Whether she’s training solo or with her best friends, the supportive atmosphere keeps her motivated. “I love just showing up and being done in 45 minutes,” she says, highlighting how UBX helps her focus on what matters most: improving her fitness while navigating a busy career.

Here is Lauren’s transformation from Training Camp:

TRAINING

What was your approach to the Training?

“I already attended UBX most days however for the 3 months prior to the Training Camp, life had gotten a lot busier and I had not been attending as much. I had lost track of my nutrition and I had also been away on holidays leading to some weight gain. Due to this I knew that my approach to Training Camp would be to do it properly to get my weight, fitness and gym routine back on track. My goals were to attend UBX daily and add in a walk/run daily to have at least 10,000 steps a day.”

NUTRITION

What was your approach to the nutrition aspect of the challenge?

“My UBX coach, Devin and I went through what caloric deficit and macronutrient split would be ideal for me at the beginning of the Training Camp, and I use that guidance for my nutrition goals.

This challenge I had a daily calorie goal of 1550-1650, with a protein intake of 2g per 1kg of body weight. I tracked everything I ate over the challenge and had no days over my calorie goal. I was very strict with myself. Devin helps us out by providing a couple of basic meal plans options which we have the option of using for the challenge. I find these work easier for me so I can meal prep 5-7 days of meals at a time and basically just eat the same thing every day until my next meal prep day; at which point I might change it slightly for the next 5-7 days.

I usually meal prep even outside of the challenges, however for this Training Camp I made changes to have all food weighed and tracked, focusing on my daily protein goal. I also used some of the meals from the Training Camp app and included some that were easily suitable for meal prepping and suited my plan. My favourite meals from the app that I used for meal prep were: the Chow Mein, Overnight Oats and Udon Stir Fry. I find for me that I cannot work in “cheat meals” during challenge as one meal turns into two and so on, so I stuck to the diet 100%.

I took also took additional fat burning and muscle building supplements prior to all of my UBX workouts, and a magnesium supplement at night. I also would use a whey protein post-gym or incorporated it into meals, not every day but on days where I could not meet my protein requirement with my meals.”

MINDSET

How are you feeling post-Training Camp?

“I’m feeling great! I find I have an increased amount of energy especially at the gym and can feel that my fitness has improved dramatically; and I am able to lift a lot heavier. I’m also sleeping well which I think has assisted with the increase in energy. I am however still staying consistent!

I knew at the start of the 6 week challenge that regardless of results I wanted to extend the strategy I used in the challenge out for a more few weeks to get myself more prepared for the Christmas / Summer period; before the year got too busy. My goal is to keep going until 12 weeks are complete. I am happy at my weight now so would also just like to continue to increase my muscle gains and lift heavier at the gym.

I am being very strict at the moment so my long-term goal will be to transition out of this and to just continue to build an all-around active healthy lifestyle that I will be able to maintain and sustain long-term.”

ADVICE

What advice do you have for other members taking on the Training Camp – 6 week challenge?

“Preparation in all areas is key. Work with your UBX Coaches to make the best plan that’s going to suit you and your lifestyle. And provide them feedback if things are / aren’t going well to see what can be tweaked. I find the diet the hardest to stick to unless I have all my meals planned and days tracked 24 hours ahead so I know I will be within my calories and won’t be tempted by foods that don’t work with this. Its hard work, however if you stick with it the results are worth it.”
