“What Are Your Fitness Goals”

In the past, whenever I was asked my goals, I struggled to come up with an answer. Although I started working out regularly a few years ago, I was never working towards something. A few months ago I decided I wanted to enter a bikini competition to challenge myself. One of the first things I did was contact Tayler about her online coaching. After completing a 12-week prep with Tayler, I competed last weekend. Hiring Tayler was the best thing I did to prepare for the stage. Contest prep is hard; but having Tayler there to tell me how much to eat, the best food sources, what exercises to do, how to pose, and even what to pack, eliminated all the guesswork. I trusted Tayler’s expert advice and ended up in the best shape of my life. And I had fun doing it. I believe the reason my contest prep experience was so positive is because Tayler made my health the top priority. I did not do excessive cardio, cut out all carbs, or drop my calories dangerously low. In fact, my family and friends often joked about how I was constantly eating! It feels good to know that I accomplished what I set out to do in a healthy way that I can be proud of. No matter what I choose for my next "goal," I know the exercise and nutrition knowledge I gained from Tayler over the past several weeks will help me get there. I would recommend Tayler to anyone considering competing or looking to transform their body!

Irasema achieves her fitness goals in just 8 short weeks!

"I just want to thank Tayler Made Fitness for teaching me new things. I have been going to the gym since I was younger but I never really knew how to lift or follow a nutrition plan. When I asked Tayler to help me push myself she welcomed me right away. I was able to follow a nutrition plan and learn how to eat healthy. Also, I was eating four times more than what I usually used to eat. Six meals a day and a workout routine was the key to success. Within my first week I saw results right away. I noticed that my body started to get toned pretty fast. I told Tayler that I really wanted to gain a booty and tone my legs. I am more than happy with my results I got with just eight weeks. This program really helped me count those macros and follow correct workout routines. I think it is really awesome when people compliment my progress. I know that I pushed myself hard with the help of Tayler. I surely recommend this program to anyone that wants to change their body and learn how to eat healthy!"

Riane looses inches while eating MORE food than ever before

I've been dedicated to living a healthy life style for years. I made it a point to work out almost every day and to eat as healthy as possible. Or so I thought. While I've never had an issue pushing myself in the gym, I have with my eating. Under eating was an issue. I'm a stylist and when you're booked 10 hours a day you just have very little time to eat. My body adjusted to that over time, and because of this I wasn't seeing results and I was getting very discouraged. Mentally I knew the issue was my low nutrition, and I knew I had to get right with it or I was never going to achieve the goals I had for my body and I certainly wasn't going to be "healthy". Before Taylor, I had very little knowledge of "macros" and the sound of eating 6 times a day just blew my mind. I mean, I was eating 2 meals on average!! Whaaaa? Because of Taylor I now know how to prep for my week and plan ahead. I think in terms of macros and not calories. I also make time for each of those 6 meals during the day, and I feel the healthiest I ever have. She's a great trainer and I'm thankful for everything she's done for me.

Mallory doesn’t need a stage to achieve her ultimate goal!

I met Tayler about two years ago when I decided to compete in my first bikini competition. This time was a little different. I only had 10 weeks to get my body stage ready and Taylor gave me the confidence and tools I needed to make it happen. I chose to use the online program again because it works great with my schedule. Tayler is always available to answer any questions I have. Due to a family surprise vocation, I was unable to compete on the day of the competition. To me, the end result is not what I look like in a spray tan all fancied up in heels walking on a stage being judged. To me, I love the process! The process of watching my body change week by week by eating healthy and kicking my butt in the gym. The whole process is my competition, it’s a competition I have with myself. Every week I wanted to look and feel better, and I did! My end goal was to feel good again about my body, and I achieved that with the support and knowledge of Tayler!

Kristina steps on stage for all the right reasons

  Over the years I have become a women who works hard for everything I’ve achieved and have pushed myself harder than I thought I could. That is until my life changed in a matter of weeks making me realize how much of my life I never was selfish. Now, that word is never used lightly and I always hated it but I realized I didn’t love myself, I didn’t go out of my way to do things to make me happy and when I realized those things. I needed to fight for something to be happy and successful. To find me again. I have always been into working out and making myself better but never pushed myself to do more. When I first reached out to Tayler, I just wanted to have a distraction and finally get to the goal I always wanted. I worked out an 8 week program with her and within 3 weeks I stood in a stand still. I didn’t feel I was fighting for something, a goal. Yeah, my goal was to look better but I needed more than that. After talking to numerous amounts of people and Tayler supporting me 100% of the way I decided I needed to compete. Not to win the prize, look better than everyone else but to push myself more than ever and to find something to fight for. I had my days where friends and family questioned what I was doing and sometimes I even questioned what I was doing but all in all my biggest support system was our team that didn’t even know me well. People on Tayler’s team reached out to me for constant support, motivation and when I [...]

Why I am Making Fitness My Hobby and Not My Job

Aaahhhhh where do I even begin this blog. I think just by the title many people will know what this post is about however to field the 100 of questions, gossiping, speculation and everything else that people like to come up with I am going to lay it all out there. So about 6 months ago, right around when I turned 30, I started debating whether or not I wanted to continue in the field of fitness fulltime asking myself hundreds of questions daily like “Is this what I want to do forever?” “Does fitness make me happy” “Should I be looking for other opportunities?” and the list goes on and on but I think you get the point. Throughout that process I really got to sit back and look at all the things I had created, the business I built from the ground up and all the people’s lives I had changed and touched over the years. It brought tears to my eyes and made me so happy. Reading back through testimonials and thinking how proud I was of all of my athletes and clients I have worked with over the years. Now here comes the hard part, even with the brand I have built and all that I have achieved in such a short period of time I found myself wanting more. I love fitness and I love helping people but that was just the thing “I love helping people” These words started to take on a new meaning to me as well as my love for fitness. No, I am going to stop you right there before you even begin thinking that I am just jumping ship NO NO NO that is [...]

Savannah Transforms with The Better Body Program

I have always loved to work out but my work outs were so random and unstructured. I would go to the gym, do a few different exercises and think that was good enough. I was fed up with not seeing any results. Tayler had my program ready for me in a matter of one day! After only one week working with Tayler I felt amazing. My energy levels were elevated, I had a new positive attitude (like I could conquer the world) and I even saw physical changes. The weeks flew by and Tayler kept me motivated every week with her quick and meaningful responses to my progress each week. :)

I didn’t ask for your Advice!

Ok before I even start into this I want to remind you that this is a blog post! My opinion and thoughts based off of real life experiences. This is posted on MY website; written by ME and proof read by very few so get over the grammar errors and possible miss spellings. haha This isn’t going to be published in some PhD approved magazine or going to be approved by the all knowing gods of fitness. So, no getting heated or all butt hurt over MY OPINION. Ok, now that we have covered that lets get into what this post is about. I actually started this blog post almost a year ago and just kept it in a file folder thinking maybe someday I would finish it and share my thoughts with the world. Well, after a recent incident with one of my athletes I decided to reopen this file and really share my feelings on this topic. If you don’t already know what this topic is about, this blog goes out to all the advice givers of the world. Now when I say advice givers I am speaking in terms of those in this crazy fitness world who feel the need to share their unsolicited opinion and thoughts with complete strangers, particularly females in the fitness industry. Now, let’s also remember that 1) I am a female in the fitness industry. 2) I am a CompPrep coach with a successful resume (But I don’t need to defend myself for having an opinion) 3) Yes, I will be writing this post through the eyes of a female. So guys don’t get all butt hurt and think I am being sexist towards you, there are [...]

5 Easy Tips to achieve your New Year Health Goals

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we have just survived Christmas. There were probably too many cookies consumed and a few too many servings of cheesy broccoli but don’t worry IT’S OK! As the New Year is approaching many people reflect on the past thinking about goals achieved and those that may have feel a little short. One of the biggest goals for many in the New Year is to lose weight. Many will join a gym for the very first time or go back to the gym in which they haven’t step foot in for months. Exercising plays a big role in weight loose but getting back into the swing of things takes time. The gym isn’t for everyone but you can still reach those weight loose goals by making minor changes in your daily routine. SLEEP- Sleep affects our physical and mental health tremendously, and many of us do not get enough. Lack of sleep adversely affects metabolism, mood, concentration, memory, motor skills, stress hormones and even the immune system and cardiovascular health. Sleep allows the body to heal, repair and rejuvenate itself in a way it simply cannot when a person is awake. EAT BREAKFEST EACH DAY- A healthy breakfast starts your day off right. It sets you up so that you have energy and fuel for optimal mental and physical performance. Eating breakfast helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels and a healthy weight because you are less likely to over indulge later in the day. DRINK WATER- Set down that soda and replace it with the ever so yummy H2O! Our bodies are made mostly of water. Most fluids and foods contain water that will help to keep our [...]

A whole new Madison

In 2011 I began lifting. Every time I would go to the gym I would see these girls that I one day wanted to be. It wasn’t until about a year later that I found out these girls competed and I started to think about doing it myself. After a lot of thought I thought it wasn’t for me. For the next years I continued lifting and working out. I then saw a picture of my good friend and now teammate Erin Smith looking amazing. I contacted Erin to see what she was doing and she told me about Team TaylerMade. I talked back and forth for a while about it with her. Most of her trying to convince me to do it. It wasn’t until I checked out Tayler’s website and then talked to Tayler over email that I made the decision to join Team TaylerMade. When I emailed Tayler, I was one week late of a 12 week prep, and with Tayler’s motivation and my dedication I knew that I could do the comp prep in 11 weeks. The week I joined I came to posing class on Friday and fell absolutely in love with Tayler and the girls. I knew that I was in the right place and this was for me. Now with the struggles of being a college student at the University of Kansas, I still managed to stick to my diet and my workouts. With the help of every girl on the team, I made it through the temptations of going out followed by that midnight pizza haha. Each week went by and as I hit 4 weeks out from showtime I knew that I was not where I [...]
