In clients’ words
“She listens, personalizes your training plan, checks in frequently outside of regular meetings, makes adjustments when needed and is very personable and accessible.”
“Tara is super organized, communicative, pays close attention to form, tailors my training plan and sessions to my needs, and checks in with how my body is feeling each day to determine an action plan.”
“It's been so helpful to train with someone who understands the different biological events that women experience when working out.”
