Previous to Taya, I had little physical activity and found myself with almost zero motivation. 

In the past year or two, I gained about 25 pounds and lost my confidence as well as energy.  Seeing Taya twice a week for the past few months has aided me to not only loose weight, build muscle and gain flexibility, but has provided me with endless energy and drive.  What sets her aside from other trainers is the fact that she truly does care about you and your health.  Not only does she spend two hours a week training me, but she is constantly providing encouragement and tips.  Taya provides plenty of variety within my work out and meal-plan so I never get bored, she is the most creative trainer I’ve ever met or heard of.
There is no way I could be on the road to reach my fitness goals if it wasn’t for Taya’s guidance and expertise. 

I feel so alive, thank you Taya!!

Prior to training with Taya I was a fatty.  Yep it’s true.  I worked as Nightclub Manager for several years where I smoked and drank like a champion and ate once a day, usually garbage.

I went and started working out with Taya as I felt I needed to snap out of the rut I had created for myself.  I would sleep for 12 hours a night and still be tired.  I was not happy about my physical appearance and because of this my self-confidence was shot.  Taya immediately got me started on doing exercise under her guidance and I felt that I was heading towards a solution.  All of sudden I was doing something about my physical state and it’s true that the hardest part is beginning.  I had other trainers in the past but soon lost interest in them as I felt they were all about the paycheck and had very little regard for my personal well-being.

After working out with Taya and getting into a routine we took things to the next level adjusting my diet in order for me to achieve better results.  I dropped 20 pounds in the 3 months.   We also have a lot of laughs together while she trains me and the time we spend together is fun. 

Any trainer can show you exercises to do.  Taya, through example, made me re-examine my lifestyle choices and made me realize that the destructive path I was on was leading nowhere. Since being with her I quit working in bars and successfully completed my real estate license and now am working as a Realtor.  I get up in the morning after sleeping 6-7 hours and go for a run to start my day.  I feel ready to tackle the world and am very positive about life.    My family and Taya both are very positive influences in my life and I truly feel that had I not started with her I would still be on the path to nowhere.   I consider Taya a close friend and still work out with her to this day, as we are going to “Up the Ante” again this upcoming winter and turn me into an Adonis.

I’m not perfect.  I like chicken wings and beer, and sneak the odd cigarette from time to time, but now I feel like I have a balance.  I swear  I would never have been in the place both mentally and physically had it not been for Taya and my immediate circle of family and friends of which she is part.  I owe her a debt of gratitude and would highly recommend her services to anyone. 

Thanks Taya!!

I was going to the gym on a regular basis and had already lost about 20lbs.  I knew that I wanted to tone my body and potentially start competing in shows. I had no knowledge on how to go about doing this. So I was researching online and came by Taya's website and it immediately caught my eye because she looked fantastic and also competed in shows so I knew that if anyone could get me to reach my goal it would be her.

As a result I started training hard with Taya and started seeing amazing changes in my body everything was tightening and starting to look a lot more toned just what I wanted. Today I am competing in shows and couldn't be any happier with what Taya has done for me I wouldn't have got to where I am today without her.

Thanks Taya.
