Welcome newcomers and old friends to BrainsNGains! My name is Lauren Johnson and this blog is where you’ll find my thoughts on all things related to fitness and science! I’m a NASM certified personal trainer and student at the great University of Florida pursuing a bachelor’s degree in applied physiology and kinesiology on a pre-physical therapy track. I currently work out every day and I’m very dedicated to fitness and becoming the strongest I can be. This blog was started to inspire people to become greater than themselves, as I am trying to do through healthcare. I hope to share with you the highs and lows of my fitness journey and my journey to becoming a physical therapist. So if you like making gains or using your brain then feel free to keep reading!
