Who does Taylor train?
Taylor trains women who want to build strength, improve mobility and stability, move with confidence and stay active for years to come. That includes women returning to exercise, women new to strength training, women in their 40s, 50s and beyond who want to keep doing the things they love, brides-to-be getting ready for their wedding, and teen girls ages 13 and up with a parent or guardian’s consent.
Do I need to be in shape before I start?
No. Taylor starts where you are. Every exercise can be adjusted to your ability, and technique comes first, before adding more weight, speed or intensity. Many clients start with little or no gym experience and build strength and confidence one step at a time.
What does a program include?
Each program combines strength training, mobility, stability and balance work, with close coaching on technique. Taylor watches how you move, notices where you compensate, and progresses your training safely, with accountability and a plan built around your body, your goals and the activities you love.
Can I train if I have had an injury?
Often, yes. Taylor adjusts every exercise to your body and puts control and technique first. If you have an injury, a medical condition or recent surgery, check with your doctor before you start, and share that history with Taylor at your free consultation so she can plan around it.
Do you train brides-to-be?
Yes. Taylor trains brides-to-be 1-on-1 at her private studio in Hillcrest. Your plan is built around your wedding date, with strength training for your arms, back and posture, plus mobility work so you feel strong and confident on the day. Starting a few months before the wedding gives you the most time to build strength safely. See wedding fitness training for brides.
Do you train teenagers?
Yes. Taylor trains teen girls ages 13 and up, 1-on-1, with a parent or guardian’s consent. Sessions focus on safe technique, strength, mobility and confidence in the gym, at a pace that fits each teen’s age and experience. See personal training for teen girls.
