Menagerie Photography Studio Celebrating Local Women In Business Featuring Lauren Nadwairski
You all know me as a premier boudoir photographer here in Connecticut. As a business owner I belong to many groups that support other local businesses here in CT. These groups allow me to meet amazing people that I’d love you to get to know as well. Welcome to another installment of our “Celebrating Local Women in Business” blog! We focus on local Connecticut businesses owned and run by women and some of their key employees. The blogs will give you a chance to learn about these women and why they chose the work they do. You’ll find out what drove them to transform that passion into their work. We’ll also find out how their business has had a positive impact on others.
Celebrating Local Women In Business Featuring Lauren Nadwairski
Today I want to introduce you to Lauren Nadwairski who owns and operates Tiger Strength Performance in Baltic, CT. Lauren’s dedication to her clients goes far beyond getting them physically fit. Her philosophy is a balance of both physical and mental health. Her gym is the epitome of judgment free and is very kid friendly for clients that want to get healthy but can’t find a babysitter or just want to include their children in their workout.
Name: Lauren Nadwairski
Owns/Operates: Tiger Strength Performance in Baltic, CT.
“Not only do I help clients reach their physical goals by combining working out and meal plans, but I provide a safe place they can bring their children as well. There is a gated kid’s area with toys that parents can see from all areas of the gym. At Tiger Strength Performance, it’s not only about your physical health, but your mental health as well.”
“The reason I’m passionate about what I do is I grew up getting made fun of because of my weight. It was always fluctuating, and I was never happy with myself. As an adult, I was in an unhealthy relationship, unhappy with my body, and depressed. I finally decided to do something about my life at the age of 23.
I signed up to workout at my local women’s gym and had no idea what I was doing and needed guidance and support since my boyfriend at that time was not backing me in my new journey.
In less than a year, I lost almost 100 pounds… and the boyfriend! In the process of my own personal journey, I was hired at the gym where I was working out. Quickly promoted to manager, I knew I had found my passion. I met an amazing man who actually owned his own personal training business and we started our life together!
After a series of humbling events, I found myself without a job. My boyfriend and I decided that I would be a great addition to his business! In 2015 I received my national certification to become a personal trainer.
After a tragic life changing event, I found myself taking on Tiger Strength Performance by myself. I was scared and doubted myself, but I took the jump. In 2016, I opened my first gym, which was open for 2 years until my clientele needed a bigger, better space!
Tiger Strength Performance has been in business since 2014 and my latest gym located in Baltic CT. was opened in 2018 and we now have about 3000 square feet of space.
Not only do I help clients reach their physical goals by combining working out and meal plans, but I provide a safe place they can bring their children as well. There is a gated kid’s area with toys that parents can see from all areas of the gym. At Tiger strength Performance, it’s not only about your physical health, but your mental health as well.”
Lauren’s knowledge of her industry, love of exercise and all things fitness, as well as her desire to be an active part of her community has set her and her business apart from typical “Big Box” gyms.
