TARYN
Chief Inspitational Officer
I've been passionate about fitness, health, and nutrition for over 30 years. I've spent most of my life in the gym, and fitness has always been my passion. As a certified personal trainer, I've dedicated my career to helping people build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
As a mother, I saw firsthand the positive impact that fitness can have on a young girl's confidence, resilience, and self-esteem. That inspired me to create FitGirls—a fun, supportive, and empowering program where girls can develop a love of movement while building confidence, friendships, and life skills that extend far beyond the gym.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology and have earned numerous fitness certifications, including Personal Trainer, Youth Fitness Trainer, Precision Nutrition Level 1, Brand X Professional Youth Coach, and Special Strong Certified Adaptive Personal Trainer, along with certifications in healthy eating, boot camp instruction, and older adult fitness.
In addition to FitGirls, I am the founder of Adaptive Fitness Training, where I provide individualized fitness programs for children, teens, and adults with diverse abilities.
When I'm not coaching, you'll find me training for CrossFit and, more recently, HYROX. I've completed multiple half marathons, a full marathon, and have competed in several HYROX races. I believe leading by example is one of the best ways to inspire others to discover just how strong and capable they really are.
RICA
Chief Motivational Officer
Sports and fitness have always been a part of my life. I grew up playing basketball and ultimate frisbee, and spent several years as a competitive runner. Today, I continue to challenge myself through CrossFit and Hyrox.
As a mom of adolescents, I understand how important confidence and positive influences are during these formative years. Beyond my professional work, I have also mentored university students and aspiring advertising professionals. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that the right environment and the right guidance can influence how young people see themselves and what they believe they can achieve.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and work in the marketing and advertising industry.
At FitGirls, I bring my professional experience and lifelong connection to fitness to help more girls discover what they are capable of and develop a healthy relationship with movement.
