LAUREN'S STORY
Be Real. Be brave. Be YOU.
BE FEARLESSLY AUTHENTIC.
Buns & Gunz was founded by Lauren Reilly, a passionate strength coach, wellness advocate, and entrepreneur who believes fitness isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you live. With a bold yet compassionate approach, Lauren empowers her clients to embrace their strength, honor their bodies, and pursue health from the inside out. For her, fitness is a gateway to confidence, clarity, and transformation—not just a physical goal but a mindset shift.
​
Before launching Buns & Gunz, Lauren successfully owned and operated B&G Fit Club in Riverdale, New Jersey, for four years. There, she built a community that challenged their limits and redefined what 'strong' looked and felt like. Her work at B&G laid the foundation for a bigger vision—one that centered around personal attention, privacy, and a boutique studio experience that reflected both her coaching style and personal mission.
​
With years of hands-on experience in strength training, functional movement, and lifestyle coaching, Lauren has guided countless people to achieve sustainable results. She has helped them overcome self-doubt, reclaim their wellness, and develop a deep confidence in their abilities. Her training style is structured and supportive, blending scientifically backed programming with encouragement and positive reinforcement.
​
Lauren's belief in a whole-body approach sets her apart. She's not just focused on reps and sets—she’s focused on helping clients build habits that fuel energy, reduce stress, support recovery, and create long-term health. She understands that each individual comes with their own story, schedule, and set of goals, and she thrives on crafting personalized programs that honor those unique needs.
​
Buns & Gunz evokes Lauren’s heart for helping others. It reflects her belief that a gym can feel like a sanctuary—where strength meets softness, grit meets grace, and every person feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
​
Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to take your strength to the next level, Lauren’s passion, knowledge, and no-nonsense coaching will help you unlock the strongest, most resilient version of yourself.
