About Tara

I found my passion for personal training and group fitness after my own health journey of losing 100 pounds. I wanted to help others achieve their goals and show them they don’t have to do this on their own. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and AFAA Certified Group Fitness and Cycling Instructor. I teach classes to actively aging homeowners in 50+ communities. My main clientele for personal training is typically 50+, however I have experience with all walks of life.

Training philosophy

My goal is to help people gain and maintain their independence, and to age gracefully. I am very functional fitness oriented.

A typical session

Depending on the specific needs of the client, I like to focus on functional movement patterns. The only background I do not have is yoga and dance, so I am able to offer a variety of training to best suit the goals of the client.

Client success story

My major client successes have been those that have had limited mobility and a lot of pain. It’s such a rewarding feeling when a client can begin to move again without pain.

Areas served

Outside training

I am very active in my family life, I love listening to music, and enjoy spending time with my friends.
