Our Amazing Athletes
M's Mother, Vaughan
My daughter Mikayla has autism and Taryn has been her personal trainer for about 3 years. Taryn shows extreme patience and a wonderful ability to listen to Mikayla’s stories and at the same time gets her to do a variety of exercises varying from cardio to strength training routines. Mikayla will at times get frustrated with the work out, but Taryn has a way of re-directing and has helped her to understand the importance of exercising. Thank you for all your efforts & patience Taryn!
T's Mother, Aroura
Taryn is absolutely amazing! My daughter has mild cerebral palsy, and she not only has become so much stronger since joining Fit Girls but also she has gained so much confidence in her self and abilities. It is the outstanding instructors, like Taryn who strive to encourage these young women to try their best each and every class and to be strong outside the studio. I am overjoyed that my daughter is excited to attend her sessions with Taryn and build the habit of physical activity into her weekly routine.
J's Mother, Vaughan
I wanted to take a moment and express immense gratitude for Taryn and her fitness program. My daughter has been attending classes with Taryn for the last few months and it is the very first program in over 6 years that she actually wants to go to. My daughter has several disabilities that hinder her ability to do things the same ways as her peers. Taryn will always make modifications so that the is always included in the class. She is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. My daughter’s confidence has grown and she has a different outlook on what healthy means, and she is proud to be a fit girl. Thank you Taryn from the bottom of my heart for such an incredible program that uplifts young girls to believe in themselves:)
