Meet Tamara:
I’m passionate about helping people live stronger, healthier lives—especially as we navigate the changes that come with age. With over 25 years of experience coaching people of all ages, I now have a dual focus: helping adults 35 and older with personalized programs that support both their physical and mental well-being in the gym, and guiding young swimmers—infants to age 8—toward water safety and a love for swimming.
My journey into fitness began as a way to stay active and adventurous, and it quickly turned into a lifelong commitment to helping others find the same joy in movement that I do.
​
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my husband, adult children & friends, or capturing moments through my camera lens. Whether it’s hiking, SCUBA diving, traveling, or just enjoying the sunshine, I believe in living life to the fullest—both for myself and those I train.

My Fitness Philosophy
I believe fitness to be a path to experiencing life to its fullest.
​
I specialize in empowering individuals to build strength, confidence, connection, and feel good in their bodies. Through personalized weight training programs, I create a body-positive training environment that focuses on self-acceptance while supporting positive changes towards fitness goals.
​
With a deep understanding of longevity and the unique fitness needs during peri- and post-menopause, I help clients train for life’s stages, ensuring strength and vitality as they age. I believe fitness is a path to experiencing life to its fullest, taking a well-rounded approach that extends beyond the gym. By inspiring individuals to connect with nature and explore fitness travel opportunities, I blend indoor training with outdoor adventures. This unique combination sparks self-discovery, ignites inner strength, and empowers individuals on their fitness journey.
