LAUREN HITE is a professional triathlete.

Coming from a background in competitive powerlifting, she decided to complete a long-time goal of running a marathon. This process led to her falling in love with the endurance side of fitness, but the challenge of adding two additional sports sounded exciting. Lauren began training with coach Natasha in September of 2021 - seven months later she completed her first triathlon (Ironman Texas). In her first year of racing, she qualified for her pro license, all while working full-time as a Radiation Therapist in Alaska.

Lauren currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia (she happily retired from the ice cleats), training and coaching. She has a passion for developing strong, lasting relationships with each of her athletes to ensure their training is customized to fit their lifestyle and set them up for success. Lauren believes the mental aspect of training is commonly overlooked but essential for success in this sport. Engineering a science-based approach to mental fortitude and training as a whole defines her methodology.
