Lauren Arnold (born April 15, 1966),
is a figure competitor from Canada.
Lauren Arnold was born in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada. At age 42, is the youngest of 3 with
2 brothers, one residing in Winnipeg and the other in
Sydney Australia. Her parents always encouraged and
supported Lauren’s athletic abilities. She was
actively involved in gymnastics, volleyball, basketball,
baseball, and track.

Lauren went to college and completed her
diploma in Advertising after High School. She then moved to
Toronto to pursue her career where she resided for 10 years.
She belonged to Bally Matrix Gym where she
started to pursue weight training more actively. After living
in Toronto for 10 years, her husband Fred and Lauren decided
to move to Winnipeg where they can be closer to family, and
to start a family of their own.
Lauren then joined Shapes Gym and trained
there while continuing her career. She gave birth to 2 boys,
Mathew and Christopher. After carrying children, she didn’t
like the way she felt and looked and wanted her old body back
and decided to train harder.
Lauren was always approached by others asking
her “What do you do to look like that”? She decided
to certify herself as a Trainer through the Manitoba Fitness
Council as a Resistance Trainer. She has been training and
encouraging women ever since.
In 2006 someone told Lauren she should think
about competing in Figure Competitions. She decided to jump
into her 1st Novice competition 2 weeks before the competition
and finished 2nd in 2 categories. Lauren loved the challenge
of pushing herself to build and sculpt her physique. Since
that first Novice competition, she has completed 11 competitions.
The next competition will be the Canadian Nationals in August,
then off to the Worlds which will be held in Plzen, Czech
Republic, in November.
Bodybuilding Philosophy
Lauren’s training consists of weight
training 5-6 days a week in the off season. She uses a variation
of compound and isolation movements (with free weights, machines,
and cables) in her training, focusing more on legs and back.
For cardio Lauren runs and uses the Elliptical machine. She
usually does cardio sessions 6 days per week.
