I'm Taryn, and since 2005, I have been very fortunate to have trained hundreds of amazing individuals, helping them to feel better and live healthier lifestyles. I will work to help you meet your goals, in a way that works for you.
I work with clients one-on-one and in groups in my studio, just outside Creemore, at gyms, in parks and schools. I can also bring the gym or yoga studio to you in your home, club or office, making your fitness experience accessible, and providing you with the tools and motivation through which better health, wellness and happiness can be attained.
I work with people of all ages - from young children up to those in their 90’s; with healthy individuals, individuals with chronic health challenges, or those facing temporary setbacks. No matter your ability, age, or stage in life, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.
I create and implement thoughtful, well-balanced and effective fitness, yoga, nutrition and wellness programs. I strongly believe that though we may not always be able to do everything, we can always do something.
I have years of experience coaching a range of clients from those training for their first triathlons, serious sports enthusiasts, those looking to increase muscle mass, decrease body fat, clients working through post-injury rehab programs, and those trying to reduce daily stress or improve their posture. I have been very fortunate to be able to share fitness and yoga both with adults and also in schools, and to be a guest speaker at wellness events, speaking to students and parents on a variety of physical and mental wellness topics.
I have worked alongside physicians creating safe exercise programs for those managing chronic health conditions including arthritis, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, partial paralysis and hypertension. I coach and support those working on dietary changes and nutritional cleanses. I have supported women and their families through pregnancy, labour, delivery and postpartum, both as a personal trainer and as a doula.
I LOVE what I get to do each day, and feel grateful to be in a position to encourage and assist people in making healthy lifestyle changes! I take great pleasure in sharing my knowledge, experience and positivity with others, and in learning from each and every individual I work with.

“I have trained with Taryn for over 15 years. She is extremely knowledgeable and has an extensive background in various types of training, including yoga and pilates. She tailors her programs to suit your specific needs and keeps things interesting by changing the workouts periodically. She is genuinely interested in you as a person, and takes your lifestyle into consideration when preparing the training routines. For example, I recently took up curling and she created a program to address all the muscle groups that are affected by curling - it is amazing and makes me feel very confident that I am strengthening the appropriate areas. Any time I have an injury or an issue, she spends time researching the most appropriate ways to ensure no further injury while continuing our workouts. She has been an amazing trainer and and after so many years I consider her a good friend. I would highly recommend Taryn, and can honestly say she is one of the best trainers I have ever had.”

Is childcare provided?
You are welcome to bring your children to 1-on-1 training sessions. We regret we cannot accommodate children during small group classes. We have an attached playroom available. The playroom is unsupervised, but attached to the gym. Or you may choose to work out at home and let me bring the gym to you!
Do I have to sign up for a long-term contract?
No. Fitness plans are completely customized according to your needs, availability and budget. More consistent workouts mean you stay motivated and meet your goals sooner. Group classes require registration for the full series of 6-10 classes.
What sort of payment do you accept?
Cash, cheque, or e-transfer, please. Payment is due when services are rendered, unless otherwise arranged. Receipts are provided.
What equipment/space do I need in my home?
Very little! Usually, if you have enough space to unroll a yoga mat, we can make it work. I have a large selection of small equipment that travels with me to your home/office/club/school.
