Hey there! I’m Tanner 💪🏼
Personal trainer/Nutrition Coach with a passion for helping others achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. I’m just an everyday person who began my fitness journey as a total beginner—lacking confidence, struggling with self-esteem, and standing exactly where many of you may be now.

MY BACKGROUND
Believe it or not, the personal trainers that you see weren’t born with good physiques! We all are beginners at the start, and many of us were in the same spot that you might be in right now.Â
Growing up, I was smaller and on the skinnier side (nothing wrong with that), but it did lead to some self confidence issues down the road.
At 17, I started to struggle with confidence and being self-conscious about my size compared to my peers. While many of my friends had been lifting weights since middle school, I hadn’t ever stepped foot into a weight room.
The summer after my junior year, I decided to make a change. My brother worked at a local gym and let me tag along with him and his workout partner, essentially taking me under their wing.
That summer was the start of my obsession and the rest is history!
Personal Training History
I first got my personal training certification through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) in 2015. I was young, naive, & thought that I would excel at the business just because I was in decent shape. I was definitely wrong!
After a year or so of training, I decided to pursue a career in the fire service. I got hired on at my first department as a Firefighter/Paramedic in January of 2018, and after 4 years of doing this I decided to hang it up. I wasn’t happy going to work, and I knew I never really had a passion for the career.
I quit without having a plan (smart, I know), and eventually needed to generate some cash flow. That’s when I started personal training again (early 2022), and fell in love with the craft & the business side of things as well. I guess growing a bit older and wiser helped out a bit lol.
The business grew and turned into something I could have never imagined. I give God all of the credit – and I am very grateful to do what I do!
