My Approach
Hello, my name is Taylor. I help people achieve thier fitness goals through optimized strength trianing, targeted mobility exercises, and nutrition guidance.
I learned in college that strength training needs to be based on proven scientific principles. For example, the principle of progressive overload tells us that we must constantly increase the difficulty of the exercise stimulus to see continued increases in strength. For this reason, it is critical that performance data is tracked and used to properly adjust the exercise difficulty.
I learned in my 7 years in the industry that a strength training program needs to be completely individualized. A certain amount of emphasis should be placed on mobility exercises to support healthy strength gains. These mobility exercises must be chosen based on muscle imbalances, tightness or other limitations found for each person.
My job is to design an organized program that allows me to implement a consistent exercise stimulus based in science and individualized to your needs. Then, I guide you through the process, addressing roadblocks as they come up.

Your Complete Program
I think it's important to set my clients up for success by providing additional guidance where it is needed. Your program includes instructions for you to follow outside of the gym and you are given full access.
Data Driven
Programs are focused on building strength in the main functional lifts. Performance is measured allowing for optimal progression over time, while taking the necessary time to learn proper form. Follow along and see your progress.
Mobility + Stretching
A personalized list of daily mobility exercises will be included in your program to address any weak points or muscle imbalances. These should be done oustide of our sessions so that we can spend more time focused on the heavy lifting.
Additional Workouts
Your program can include “solo workouts" to be completed on your own or when traveling. You have the option to do part of your program independently as you become more comfortable.
Nutrition Guidance
You will be provided with nutrition guidelines based on your goals, including calorie and macro amounts to optimize muscle mass and body fat percentage.
