Do I need to be fit before I hire a personal trainer?
No. Starting where you are is the point of working with a coach. Taylor meets you at your current ability, teaches each movement step by step, and builds from there. Every exercise can be adjusted, so the first sessions feel challenging but manageable.
Why train in a private gym?
Walking into a busy gym for the first time can feel intimidating. Sessions with Taylor happen 1-on-1 in a private, fully equipped gym on Fourth Avenue in Hillcrest, without the crowds and distractions of a large fitness center. Nobody is watching but your coach.
What will I learn first?
Good technique comes before more weight, speed or intensity. Taylor watches how you move, notices where you compensate, and explains what your body is doing and why. That foundation lets you progress safely and keep training for years.
How do I get started?
Every client begins with a free consultation, where you talk with Taylor about your goals and your history with exercise. Packs of 20, 30 or 40 sessions cost $140 to $180 per 1-hour session, and a Fall Fitness Special, running through the winter, offers 30 sessions at $95 each. See Rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have never lifted weights?
That is a great place to start. Taylor teaches every exercise from the basics, focuses on technique before load, and adjusts each movement to your ability. Many women who start with no gym experience build real strength and confidence because they learn to move well from day one.
How often should a beginner train?
It depends on your goals, schedule and recovery, so Taylor sets a plan with you at the free consultation. The pack options, from 20 to 40 sessions, let you choose a pace that fits your life. Call or text (619) 869-1205 to talk it through.
Can I start if I have an old injury?
Often, yes. Taylor adjusts every exercise to your body and focuses on technique and control. Check with your doctor first if you have an injury, a medical condition or recent surgery, and share that history with Taylor at your consultation so she can plan around it.
