Who is Lauren Flymen?
Lauren Flymen is a British star and influencer born on October 16, 1991, in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
From Sales Director to Social Media Star…
Lauren Flymen was working as a sales director. When COVID-19 hit its peak in April 2020, Lauren was put on furlough by her employer. While on leave and bored during the lockdown, she decided, according to her website, to try jump roping. Like everyone else at first, she was terrible, but there was just enough progress with each jump to make her instantly hooked. This new fun hobby led her to create her Instagram page, with the aim of holding herself accountable and connecting with what was then a very small jump rope community. One jump led to another, and before she knew it, she was sharing advanced routines featuring complex footwork and crazy tricks, encouraging thousands of people to try them as well.
On the Road to Fame…
Thanks to the social media algorithm and her physical fitness, Lauren transitioned from a career as a sales director to a successful content creator, with a strong focus on sharing her passion for jump rope and fitness on social media platforms. She quit her job and devoted herself entirely to her passion, even creating her own brand of jump ropes and mats. In an interview with the BBC, she stated: “It saved me mentally, it kept me from worrying about work, it kept me from being upset about my wedding. It just gave me a whole new distraction.”
Launching Her Jump Rope App…
Continuing to spread her videos online and growing her audience to over 2.1 million followers on Instagram and 1.4 million on TikTok in just 4 years, she embarked on a big self-funded project: creating a jump rope app from scratch. After months of saving and hard work, she managed to launch the app called “Fancy Feats” in 2023. Although the app still has much potential to explore, it is already helping many people achieve their jump rope goals.
Is She Married?
Indeed, Lauren Flymen is married. The ceremony took place on August 18, 2021. This wedding was initially scheduled for 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Famousbirthdays.
