Hi, I’m Tara, a personal trainer and nutrition coach with over 13 years of experience helping men and women achieve real, lasting transformation. I specialize in macro coaching, custom training, and realistic nutrition strategies that fit your lifestyle, not control it. My clients get leaner, stronger, and more confident, without cutting out the foods they love or falling into the all or nothing cycle.











Custom Programming + Macros + 1:1 Coaching This is my signature method — the same approach that helped me lose over 100 lbs (twice) and the foundation of every transformation my clients have built. No restriction. No cookie-cutter plans. No guessing. You'll get personalized macro targets, a fully customized workout program built around your goals, experience, and schedule, and weekly 1:1 coaching directly from me. We adjust as your body responds — nothing is set in stone. This is for the person who wants real, sustainable results without giving up the foods they love. If you want even more structure, you can add a Custom Meal Plan during checkout, or upgrade to The Blueprint where it's included.

With over 13 years of experience, I’ve helped more than 1,000 men and women transform their bodies and their lives through balance, consistency, and a realistic approach that actually lasts. I don’t believe in restriction. I believe in flexibility, structure, and methods that fit your lifestyle, not control it. My coaching is fully customized. From macro coaching that teaches you how to eat for your goals, to structured meal plans for those who want more guidance, to individualized training programs tailored to your body and lifestyle. I also incorporate education on peptides and supplementation to give you every tool you need to succeed. My journey is what shaped everything I do today. I’ve been in your shoes, struggling with weight, confidence, and consistency. I’ve lost over 100 pounds, twice, and learned that real transformation goes far beyond dieting or workouts. It requires a shift in mindset, habits, and lifestyle. Now, I help clients achieve results without the restriction, extremes, or confusion that once held me back. There’s a better way, and I’m here to guide you through it.






Lost 100+ lbs twice. Coached 1,000+ men and women through fat loss, muscle building, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. Not theory. Proven. I've walked the road you're on.
I don't just send numbers and disappear. You learn HOW food works for your body, why your training is built this way — with detailed form cues, alternates, and hypertrophy-focused programming — and how to keep results long after coaching ends.
Custom macros, custom training, meal plans built around your body, schedule, and food preferences — down to your morning creamer. No copy-paste. No one-size-fits-all.
Pizza with the kids. Dinners out with friends. Vacations without anxiety. A method built to fit the life you actually live — not one you have to escape.
Mobility programming, peptide and GLP-1 guidance, a built-in recipe database. In-person training and 1:1 phone consultations available.
Women and men. Every age, every background, every starting point. No "ideal client" type — just you, ready to start.
Do you offer Glute Building Programs?
Yes! My Glute Building Programs are designed for women who want to build their glutes and create a balanced, feminine physique. Every workout is programmed with intention so you’re not just exercising, you’re training in a way that actually changes your shape. For legs, each day has a different focus so nothing gets overworked, with lifted, sculpted, round but tight glutes always being the main priority. There is typically one glute day for shape, one glute and quad day to build the front of the legs, and one glute and hamstring day to build the back of the legs and create overall balance. Upper body is split into push and pull. One day focuses on shoulders, chest, and triceps, and the other focuses on back, biceps, and posture muscles so everything stays strong, feminine, and proportional. Core work is added based on the client. In the schedule it’s usually placed after your lifts or alongside recovery work like stretching and foam rolling. This structure allows you to train hard, recover well, and keep progressing while shaping the glutes and lower body the right way.
How are your men’s training programs structured?
My men’s programs are built to develop a strong, athletic, and muscular physique while keeping the body balanced and performing well. Depending on the program, I use different training styles including hypertrophy focused training, strength and progressive overload methods, and more performance based approaches. Most men follow a push, pull, legs style split or an upper lower variation, depending on their schedule and recovery. Push days focus on chest, shoulders, and triceps. Pull days focus on back and biceps. Leg days train quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves for overall lower body strength and size. Each muscle group is trained using a mix of compound lifts and targeted accessory work so you build muscle, increase strength, and continue progressing week to week. Core work and conditioning are added based on the client and their goals, whether that is fat loss, performance, or a more defined midsection. This structure allows men to train hard, recover properly, and steadily build size, strength, and a well balanced physique over time.
WHAT IF I AM A PICKY EATER OR HAVE ALLERGIES?
If you are a picky eater, that is NOT A PROBLEM! All you need to do is be as specific as you can while completing your New Client Form. My plans can be designed to accommodate almost any special request. Specific limitations will require an upcharge (ex: free of gluten dairy or eggs, pescetarian, intermittent fasting, prenatal, postpartum). Upcharges start at $25 per request per month.
ARE YOUR PLANS RESTRICTIVE?
If you looking for a restrictive plan that cuts out specific foods and/or food groups, you came to the wrong place. My plans are rather detailed, providing you with a large variety of options & recipes, in order for you not to feel deprived or restricted. I am 100% AGAINST Food Restriction, and I am very passionate about showing my clients a sustainable method to reach their goals, and KEEP the body of their dreams.
I HEAR A LOT YOUR RECIPES, TELL ME ABOUT MORE!
The customized recipes that I create in my plans include both single serve recipes and family sized recipes. Most of my recipes are very basic, simple and quick options to prepare. My clients find my recipes to be extremely helpful, compared to building a meal from the provided food lists with food measurements, which you will also receive. I also have several digital E Cookbooks available for purchase on my website.
