Tamara’s circuit training class offers a total body workout that burns calories and builds muscle. The environment is fun and supportive, and there’s plenty of variety so I never get bored. She offers modifications to the exercises, if you need more or less of a challenge or have an injury. Tamara also offers optional fitness challenges outside of class, which provide a fun way to stay motivated. Tamara has helped me get stronger and more fit than ever before. I love going to her classes and always feel great!

Tamara is a MARVEL! Her training style infuses SO much heart along side her tailormade physical challenges. She has taught me to be gentle with myself, reminds me to listen to my body at all times and to truly appreciate the journey back to strength, improved balance and all around wellness. Her whole body circuit training is JUST what I needed to wake my inner glow. I highly recommend working with Tamara no matter your current fitness level.

My experience Training with Tamara has exceeded my expectations! I discovered 6+yrs post pregnancy that my abdominal muscles separated and never came back together, which was causing my back to go out randomly and painfully.
Where I was impressed and grateful in Training with Tamara that she not only that she targeted the area of weakness, but she incorporated additional techniques to work the area, taught me a breath pattern to engage the muscles, she researched the exercises that were off limits for my specific situation, and truly tailored a program for me.
