Tina has helped me transition from 'doing what I have always done' to trying something new in my fitness coaching journey! I had reached a point where I needed a change in order to lose the extra weight that had crept on over the past three years. Over the last two months, I have gained so much more than just strength; I have gained a friend, an excellent instructor, and stability in my health and wellness routine. She embodies the motto 'quality over quantity,' which has kept me from injury while losing inches. I am so happy to have reached out to her for personal training when I did, and I am excited to see how far we go! -Leslie L.

Tina is one of the best exercise teachers I have ever had, and her approach to fitness coaching is truly exceptional. She varies the exercise routine so that it never gets boring, catering to all levels so everyone can participate at their optimum. Tina consistently provides repeat information on the exercises and proper form, ensuring that you get the most benefit out of your workout. Her high energy and encouraging demeanor push you to your max while also offering valuable counseling on diet for those looking to lose a few pounds alongside their exercise. I am enjoying her classes immensely, and I always feel motivated by her dedication to health and wellness. I am so sad when I have to miss a session. - Marie P.

I started my fitness coaching journey with Tina after neglecting my health and wellness for over five years. I was in the worst shape of my life, and it took a lot for me to admit that to someone else, especially someone like Tina, who is in phenomenal shape herself. Tina’s approach to personal training is compassionate and supportive, and most importantly, she is committed to helping me reach my goals. She takes her clients’ successes and failures as her own, giving of herself just as much (and sometimes more) than she asks her clients to give of themselves. With her unwavering support, it's impossible to fail!

Tina has made me look at my lifestyle with new eyes. My diet was primarily carbs and coffee with little else. Within the first week of my new healthy eating plan, I lost pounds, but more importantly, I had more energy and felt fantastic. The fitness coaching guidance on what and when to eat has been a game-changer for my health and wellness journey. 

The sessions are intense, and she ensures I'm doing everything right to get the most from each one. I love that I have the whole month of personal training laid out for me. Thanks, @Tina Meza-Tamayo Better Faster Stronger.

You are seriously so talented as a group instructor! I was a bit intimidated by you because you’re obviously a very experienced fitness instructor, but you made everyone feel so comfortable and did such a good job encouraging everyone, even while offering modifications! Your approach to fitness coaching is truly inspiring and aligns perfectly with health and wellness goals. I’m already excited for next week! Thank you for such a great experience that feels like personal training tailored for everyone!

Tina is an amazing instructor, motivator, coach, and friend! I've been taking her fitness coaching class for over six months, and I look forward to each and every session, no matter how challenging. Tina motivates you to stretch beyond your comfort level to achieve results while having a blast. Each class is different, keeping you on your toes for what's next! Tina always prioritizes her students' health and wellness, working with you individually to help build a healthy lifestyle that encompasses both diet and exercise. Her dedication shines through in these customer testimonials, and I'm so glad to be on this healthy living journey with her!

I started my fitness coaching journey with Tina, aiming to pass the Marine Corps fitness test. After not running much in the previous four years, I found it challenging to improve my 3-mile runtime independently. Tina customized my personal training sessions to incorporate both cardio and strength training, focusing on my specific goal. In just 2 months, my 3-mile time improved significantly, dropping from around 32 minutes to 25:55 on the big day. Since then, we've continued to work on strength and conditioning in the gym, achieving fantastic results. Tina has fostered a great sense of community among her clients by organizing group training for local 10ks. After 10 months of working together, I'm in far better shape than when I started. Tina's enthusiasm, encouragement, and commitment to your health and wellness truly make a difference in your success! -Taylor L.

Tina is an amazing asset for our neighborhood and a true example of effective fitness coaching. Her encouragement, guidance, and patience have resulted in the ladies in our class becoming visibly and appreciably more fit. Her enthusiasm ensures that class is always fun and challenging, and she has set us on a course where we have begun to incorporate better nutrition and fitness in our lives, fostering our overall health and wellness. She keeps things interesting by constantly changing up the routines, ensuring a steady course toward improved health and strength. Because of Tina, I am leaner, cleaner, and ready for whatever life brings. And my clothes fit better, too! Tina, you are an inspiration to us all! Thanks for your guidance and friendship. -Laura K.

In February of 2018, I found myself, once again, in our community gym. For years, I had been working out on the elliptical, getting in my 10,000 steps per day and reducing my caloric intake without any changes. I felt like I was beating my head against a wall. I noticed Tina working out and was impressed with her dedication to fitness coaching. I approached her about personal training. From the moment she took me on as a client, I knew she could help me achieve my health and wellness goals. Her passion for fitness was immediately evident and infectious. She is knowledgeable and explains the reasoning behind her methods. The diverse workout plans she created kept things fresh and challenging. Tina is a stickler for form, which I appreciate due to previous injuries. She is supportive without being coddling and takes the needs and desires of her clients seriously. Three and a half months later, I reached my initial weight loss goal. It took a lot of hard work and changes in my old thinking, but when I needed it, Tina was there with information, motivation, and support. My journey with Tina transformed into something more than just numbers; it made me stronger physically and mentally. My self-esteem, confidence, and overall outlook on life have greatly improved. As an added bonus, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are now well within normal ranges. Everything Tina promised me would come true did, and what I’ve gained from our time together has been priceless. I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and I’m grateful for the positive customer testimonials I can share about her impact on my life.

I have always been athletic, but being a full-time working mom of two young kids had unfortunately put my fitness goals on the back burner. That is until I met Tina. Her contagiously positive can-do attitude and results-driven fitness coaching program have given me my old body back, even better and stronger than before. After the first class with Tina, I knew this was the personal training program for me. I saw results very quickly and felt stronger after the very first session. She keeps the adrenaline going and supports you through tough times, which is a testament to her commitment to health and wellness. Tina is very conscientious about proper form and ergonomics, which is key to staying healthy and injury-free. I can honestly say I have more energy now and feel a whole lot stronger mentally and physically, thanks to Tina’s program. This is definitely a program that gets you motivated and keeps you coming back for more week after week, and I highly recommend it based on my customer testimonials.

When I first met Tina, I was by far the most overweight, out of shape, and depressed about myself that I had ever been in my life. During that first fitness coaching class, I seriously thought she was crazy! But her encouragement and excitement for us motivated me to keep going, just to prove to myself that I could complete these exercises I had never been able to do before. Fast forward 4 months, and I am so excited!! Not only am I continually losing weight, I’m eating so much more than I ever have, but I can now do so much that I wasn’t strong enough to do even when I was in shape! Tina is by far the best coach I’ve ever had. She truly understands how life can get in the way and continually encourages you to push yourself in such a nice way that you don’t mind. I am very thankful she is in my life and for the transformation she has guided me through in my health and wellness journey! - Rebecca R.
