Taylor was born and raised in a small farm town in Southern Illinois, just outside of St. Louis. Growing up in an active rural community, she played nearly every team sport and threw herself into action sports like, motocross, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Along the way, she experienced my share of injuries, which led her to years of physical therapy and strength training—ultimately sparking her passion for fitness and human performance.

While studying in Chicago, she landed her first job in fitness teaching youth soccer, which kickstarted my career. She earned my first training certification at 19, and since then, fitness has shaped every chapter of my life. She has competed at the Regional level in CrossFit and currently competes at the Senior National level in Olympic Weightlifting, where she earned a National Medal in the Snatch in 2024. Taylor's coaching background includes over 10 years of one-on-one personal training ranging from youth to seniors, sports performance, injury rehabilitation or prevention, high level program design, as well as collaborating with USA Weightlifting to help certify new coaches. Over the years, she has completed more than 10 advanced training certifications and countless seminars.

As both a nationally ranked athlete and a coach for USAW, she specializes in movement mechanics, barbell kinematics, strength development, and mobility training. However, her greatest passion is helping people rediscover their strength, overcome setbacks, and get back to the activities they love. For Taylor, success isn’t just about progress inside the gym or clinic—it’s about positively impacting people’s lives beyond it.
