Throughout one’s life, many experiences bring us to where we are at today emotionally and physically. To me there is no worse feeling than recognizing, “I am out of shape.” I have observed people feeling overwhelmed with not getting the results they were looking for (how much weight should I do? How many times per week? How much cardio or what type of cardio, etc) and the outcome is feeling frustrated. That frustration led me to a career in Personal Training. With over six years of experience, I have developed a personal method that I call coaching. A coach observes mental and physical weaknesses and strengths. A personal coach allows you one on one attention insuring that you are safe and encouraging you to try your best each workout. By listening and utilizing the latest fitness methods in weight training, cardiovascular, core, flexibility, and nutrition, I will design a program to meet your specific goals. I look forward to helping you realize that exercise can be fun so you can reap the benefits that will lead to a happier healthier you.

Travis Montoya, Certified CrossFit Level Trainer

Change New to TAC’s training team, I am a CrossFit level 1 Trainer. I train using the CrossFit prescription: constantly varied, high-intensity and functional movements. This prescription produces results, not side effects. It is constantly changing and covers all areas of exercise: cardio, gymnastics, and weightlifting. Performing high-intensity workouts provides maximum results in little time. Finally, the functional movements allow you to see your results not only in a mirror, but in your everyday life. Being able to see yourself improve every day and just feel better gives you motivation to push yourself to continue to work hard. This lifestyle is addicting for the simple reason that there is no better feeling than seeing results of hard work. CrossFit’s specialty is not specializing, this means I am able to work with clients at any fitness level and help them to achieve their goals. I want to share my education, change lives, and most importantly get people excited about health and fitness. My only request is to work with clients who have heart and the desire to improve. The visual results are a byproduct of my training.

My call to a profession in the health care industry came at an early age. I love helping people. Caring for patients in my nursing career led me to the realization that many diseases can be prevented or improved with a healthy lifestyle. Eating right and exercising are two things everyone knows thy should do; but busy lifestyles today don’t always allow us the time. The solution lies in finding what you love to do. I believe that anyone can be successful; sometimes you just need guidance in the right direction. I would love to hear your story and help you change your life.

I remember my first fitness goal was to be strong enough like my dad to work with him on cars. Encouraging this strength, I have competed in Track and Field, football and bodybuilding. Experiencing many types of training and coaching, I have also experienced sticking with it and rehabbing an injury—shoulders to knees. I can design a program that helps you work around injuries and prevents future ones. Understanding busy lifestyles, I’d like to show you how to get the most results out of the time you have in the gym. As one of the newest trainers to TAC, I look forward to meeting you.

Want to strengthen your mind and body? Through positive thoughts come positive change, both mentally and physically. For over 10 years, I have been active in the fitness field through first competing in Fitness, Body Building and Power Lifting, followed by certications in Personal Training, Body Pump, Spinning, and Yoga. I used to teach high school mathematics for 6 years and then after having two children, my usual 3 days-a-week cardio was not delivering the changes I expected. I hired a personal trainer and was instantly inspired. She helped me finnd a positive mental and physical lifestyle change through education, dedication and desire. That lifestyle change evolved into and sustained my love of teaching through Personal Training and Group Fitness instruction. I have worked with power lifters, body builders, women, teens, seniors, pre and post natal, Parkinson’s, Fibromyalgia individuals and more. Not every routine or exercise regiment works for every body. Let’s work together to create positive lifestyle habits that will change your body and lift your mental spirit.

My journey began as a group exercise instructor and my passion for fitness and helping people achieve their goals grew into my number one priority as a personal trainer. I am a strong believer that when it comes to staying fit, having fun while exercising is the key to success.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, gain energy, I will listen to you and design a program suited to your needs that will help you get the results you want.

Michelle Mowbray, AFAA-CPT, DotFIT Coach

Several years ago I decided to get back to doing what I loved, which lead me back to the gym. I hired a personal trainer and learned as much information as I could from every source possible. In the process, I lost weight, gained a new sense of self confidence, and found the passion for fitness that I had lost over the years. Not only did I feel compelled to teach others what I had learned, I wanted to show people that fitness can be fun. This lead me to obtain my Personal Training certification. I know everyone’s journey is different, but I am certain that I can relate to your desire to become the healthy, strong person that you envision yourself to be. As your trainer, I will implement a plan with the most current fitness techniques specific to your goals. Whether your desire is to lose weight, gain muscle, or maintain your health with new fitness ideas, I will be your coach and cheerleader!
