Tara Alcántara, CPT
Tara has been involved in Fitness professionally for over 10 years. Nationally certified by ACE (American Council on Exercise), she also holds three group fitness certifications, including BodyPump and RPM. Tara is serious about results. Her clients receive a results-driven training regimen where accountability is reciprocated. Tara has had substantial experience as well as results with clients interested in fitness competition, weight loss, sports specific training for performance, and injury rehabilitation. She strives to make each workout motivational with variety being a key element.
Personally, fitness has always been a part of Tara’s life. She is accomplished in both downhill and cross country mountain biking, wakeboarding, and snowboarding but also enjoys running and taking Les Mills classes.
My Philosophy:
Fitness has to be a way of life in order to achieve a healthy balance physically and mentally. Our bodies will give us in return exactly what we put into them; if it is sugar, junk food and inactivity, our bodies will react accordingly (feeling sluggish, bloated, and tired). If we train our bodies to function optimally and provide the fuel it desires, the result will be to have more energy, feel stronger, and mentally sharper.
It is not necessary to spend hours in the gym, and it certainly helps to find a mode of exercise that is enjoyable. Soon exercise will become an outlet to relieve stress and an opportunity to do something that is just for you. Exercise should be something we look forward to, not dread.
My Mission:
To help my clients’ realize their potential as well as the amazing benefits of taking your body past what your mind believes it can do. My desire is to empower my clients with the knowledge and motivation to live the life of their dreams.
My Strategy:
Ask any of my clients and they’ll tell you they work very hard during their training sessions. They will also tell you they’ve been able to decrease their body fat, increase their strength and fitness, and achieve more physically than they believed possible.
My approach provides an extremely focused training session to get the most out of every minute. Each session is created for each individual client and their goals. I provide as much education as possible so my clients have the knowledge they need to make positive choices each day to keep their health and fitness progressing in the right direction.
If you haven’t worked with a trainer before, expect to be pushed. But if you keep an open mind and allow yourself to experience something new, you will receive the workout of your life as well as a renewed perspective on what you can accomplish, in the gym and in life!
