About Taylor

Over the past few years I have gone through my own physical transformations of being 235lbs and waist 39 going into college, to then being 175lbs, a waist 31, and thinking I'm eating & living "healthy" but really starving myself of quality of life, to more recently being at a lean 193lbs, 12% body fat, and living my most fit and enjoyable life!

Growing up, I had extremely low self-confidence and body image issues due to my big and broad nature, love handles, and consistent rolls and muffin top that looked fresh out of a Pillsbury commercial.

I never understood nutrition too well, but knew I liked to eat...A LOT. It was always a challenging battle of knowing that I love to eat and that I loved to workout and live an active lifestyle, yet I could never properly create physique changes that had me looking like the other athletes at school or all the body builders I'd see at the gym. I was always scared to take my shirt off at the pool/beach, and I was a victim of the idea that it's "just my genetics".

This would always hold me back from taking a leap into actually learning about fitness and how to really sculpt a body, and partially due to the fear I'd embarrass myself in the process on top of how I already felt about my body.

It took time, but with one phrase in mind I was able to consistently and persistently pursue my physical potential (and am still consistently doing so)!

"The pain you feel now is the strength you will feel tomorrow".

I have been a Certified Life Coach for the past 2.5 years and have recently stepped into the fitness space to help others on their own fitness journey's, to teach them the lessons I learned inside and outside of the gym, and to give them a guiding hand in implementing effective workout strategies to build muscle, lose fat, and actually ENJOY pursuing their potential at the gym!
