Lauren Jones

Lauren joined CFC with husband Gareth during lockdown. Mum of three, dog parent, wine lover and our resident "Doc" - Lauren was an instant perfect fit to the CFC community!

Lauren's our top female Oly lifter, but we're most impressed with her dedication to improving her Gymnastics - which shone through in this year's open.

What started as Donkey kicks at the start of the year, ended in her crossing the 25ft handstand walking line at Quarterfinals! A true testament to "hard work pays off!'

"The CFC community is very special. It's pretty much the best part of my day no matter when I train. No matter how I feel when I arrive, I always feel better when I leave!

I love how my perception of what I'm capable of is constantly surpassed. I also love that I see my body for what it can do rather than for what it looks like and I hope to pass that message on to my kids."
