Travis Snell, MPA
I hired Tara to help me lose weight, and improve my overall fitness. She listened closely to my input, worked with me to refine my goals, and established a manageable workout regime. With her assistance, I was not only able to meet my expectations, but to well exceed them. Tara is personable, easy to work with, and has a comprehensive knowledge of her craft. I highly recommend her services.

Aug 2004 - Present
I design and implement safe, effective, and fun exercise programs based on health history, skill level, lifestyle, goals, and motivational level of the participant. In recent years, I've focused more on a holistic, wellness inspired approach to fitness. To support this, I have gained certifications in Health Coaching and Nutrition Coaching. It is my joy to help inspire clients to live healthier lifestyles by empowering them with knowledge, encouragement, and the development of realistic goals and objectives. I've successfully built and maintained a client base with a consistent retention of 80-90 percent. Show less

Aug 2002 - 2004
I served as an instructor in an upper division fitness leadership laboratory at the University of Texas, Austin. In addition, during this time I collaborated with the professor on development of an instructional DVD (and was featured in it), assisted in development of written lab materials, and provided additional assistance to students during office hours. Teaching provided the opportunity to improve my communication and interpersonal skills.
