Functional & Fit

For now & your future

1:1 Personal Training

It’s never too late to start lifting weights

don’t let your aches & pains age you

You are

Lacking motivation & confidence to take yourself through an effective workout.

Needing consistency & routine rather than showing up to the gym once in 3 weeks.

Nervous to hurt yourself or worsen your aches & pains so you stick to the same 4 exercises you’re used to, but are likely ineffective. 

Hearing you should start lifting weights for your bones, hormones, weight management, & healthy aging.

Discouraged by the gym scene because the gym rats are obnoxious & the equipment looks like foreign objects.

Struggling to lose fat with your current options & dwindling energy to keep trying .

What you want

→ A guided workout program teaching you how to use the equipment in the gym beyond the cardio machines.

→ To learn how to lift with proper form and not trigger your sensitive joints or lead to more pain.

→ To lose weight without trying so hard and have motivation to get into the gym more often.

→ To become stronger and empowered fueling your confidence.

→ To train for functionality, so your daily life and fun activities can feel effortless.

What you’ve tried…

Bootcamps, spin classes, home workout equipment, dieting, online trainers, and even other personal trainers.

… Nothing seems to stick, push the needle, or a routine that increased your strength without triggering pain.

Why it’s so hard…

It’s hard with your busy schedule, often tired by the end of the day where the couch and a glass of wine is the easier choice rather than hyping yourself up for an aimless workout at the gym.

You don’t know what to do at the gym for strength training so you resort to the elliptical or treadmill.

…But these methods won’t help you lose the unwanted weight or get you stronger for longevity.

What You want…

→ Confidence in your own skin.

→ To move comfortably with ease & certainty.

→ To feel energized, improved mood, & happier on a DAILY basis

…But you feel stuck on how to get there

You feel like time is working against you, and it feels like an uphill battle.

Why other efforts failed you…

  • there was little variation in your workouts.

  • your body didn’t receive the induced variable stress from strength training to adapt & overcome for toning & muscle building.

  • The home equipment didn’t look enticing & instead collected dust & buyers remorse.

  • The spin classes are getting boring & repetitive.

  • The bootcamp trainers were too aggressive.

  • The online trainer didn’t know how to handle her physical limitations & joint pain through the camera.

  • And your former personal trainer up & left half way through the program...he was a typical meathead anyway. 

What you really need…

Individualized personal training dedicated to teaching you the tools for strength training so that you can feel confident in the gym on your own.

A program that has variation to keep it interesting but with progressive overload to see improvement & progress.

Training that is motivating while still gentle & specific to you.

A personal trainer who also has extensive nutrition knowledge as a dietitian to provide the whole package for your health & Fitness goals.

Why I’m the trainer for you

My exercise focuses are in functional and strength training. I have experience in navigating strength training with limitations of the lower back, knee, hip & ankle. Focusing on stability, and strength of both limbs together and separate.

Integrating movements that target each part of the body for injury prevention & functional strength.

I am also a Registered Dietitian which is many levels up from most personal trainers who claim to be the nutrition expert. 

 I endured six knee surgeries, repairing my medial and lateral menisci, ACL (x3), and a bone and cartilage defect. This resulted in YEARS of physical therapy, crutches, and limitations in the gym.

Not to mention, I had bulging discs in my spine (L3-S1) that preceded the knee saga. I had to roll and crawl out of bed, the lower back pain was so debilitating.

I learned how to integrate functional training, physical therapy, yoga, and core targeted exercises into my routine to heal myself from all my ailments.

I learned what was best for me and found the exercises that targeted the weak areas of my body. I wrote down every physical therapy exercise I was given along the way and the training program timeline. I was an A+ student and now I can utilize this first hand experience to my clients.

Pam E.

“I Lost strength & mobility after my knee replacement surgery. Left with knee stiffness & my balance was compromised. I tried to resume previous activities without a targeted approach.

After working with Tatum, I feel stronger without all the stiffness I used to feel. I would get stiff & achey after a four mile walk, now I can walk six miles with no issues! A bonus, my upper body is stronger even though that wasn’t my objective. I am surprised that I can do more than I thought I could.”

Here’s what your workout will look like:

  • Warm-up → lubricate the joints, heat the body

  • Dynamic warm-up → guide your muscles & joints through full range of motion to get ready

  • Functional strength training: exercises that induce strength & muscle building/toning, core focused to protect your back, glute heavy to protect your knees & hips, a sprinkle of balance and mobility to keep you steady and strong for your daily movements and recreational activities

  • Stretching → because flexibility should not be neglected, it only gets harder as we age

  • Genuine connection throughout with yours truly!

What’s Included?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

  • 4 or 6 week progressive overload program to get you stronger and comfortable with the movements

  • Workouts are logged in my app with videos of exercises, weight used, sets and reps to follow along. Additional assigned workouts if you please!

  • We won’t miss a beat. Organized sessions to follow the program with easy scheduling.

  • Access to my abundant nutrition knowledge as a dietitian, the perk many personal trainers are lacking.

“I heard I needed to lift for stronger bones & hormone balance. I’ve always worked out but never lifted before. My legs, abs, and arms are now stronger than before and my balance has improved too. I can feel the difference when I go skiing. I feel stronger, can last longer, and am in less pain after my ski trips.”
