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.
