I started with Tall Trainer online during covid, I had never been active before to this capacity, but I had already been doing some dieting and had kicked off some weight before I started to implement exercise. I hated trying on clothes, and doing the most remedial tasks that would tire me out so easily.

I was doing a keto diet and the second I wasn’t sticking right to it, I gained, so I realized  I needed something more stable and realistic since I wanted it to be a lifestyle.

I felt myself started to slack at home, during a 30 second rest, I would get side tracked or wake up late and not finish the full work out. I struggled to wake up with enough time to get myself up and out for work, to be consistent and goal set for my health, my mental health was all over the place as I changed careers and was stepping fully into new territory in a lot of areas of my life, and I HATED tracking my food, the thoughts were daunting. I decided that I’ve spent my money on a lot of ...

Well we've moved and are at least somewhat settled.  Here's a quick look at what our new studio looks like!

I like this exercise because it:

• Works both sides at the same time
• Important muscles for walking and supporting back and knees
• You aren't limited by balance
• The tension doesn't stop until you are done

Downsides:

• Need 3 bands tied together and sliders
• You feel super weak while doing it

If you have any questions please send them my way!  [email protected] 

I like this exercise because it:

• Works the back of the arm well which is a frustrating spot for many
• get's both arms done at the same time
• Potentially prevents BAD posture
• Can improve good posture (if you are paying attention)

Downsides:

• You need a bench and the right dumbbell weights so not everyone can do it at home
• Have to lay on your stomach, some people really don't like doing that

Hope this reminds you to keep working your muscles and if you only have 30 minutes to exercise this week that it should be strength training!

We did this one in a workout and I really like it for challenging the quads and stabilizing the knee.  Not all exercises are good for all people.  If you have questions please email me [email protected].  

When I started Tall Trainer about a year ago, I was at the saddest place that I can remember.

I was overweight, depressed and tired, and I didn't know how to turn things around.

I decided to try a Saturday class with my mom. It was hard but I knew if I did that on a regular basis, my life would be different!

Thankfully, there was room in the 7am class and I started!

I have learned SO much! I have changed the way I eat and many other areas of my lifestyle. I did discover that I can not eat gluten, at all, and that has also changed my cooking and eating habits greatly.

I love the workouts, the support of the trainers and the other people in my class. I feel like everyone there is 100% FOR me and wants me to succeed as much as I do.

I am so grateful for everything that Tall Trainer has done for me and helping me turn things around!

Don W. Hood known by most as “Coach Hood”. 

Born: April 6^th 1933

For those who don't know Coach Hood has coached dozens of olympians and national champions in pole vaulting over decades of coaching.  

The first time I met Coach Hood was when he came up north for his world class pole vaulting camps.  I remember him talking about the catered meals = Subway, burgers, and Pizza.  I remember sleeping in a college dorm or motel.  I remember carrying kids to and from locations in the back of pickup trucks.  I remember him telling everyone to buy a T-shirt but only wear it at home if they weren’t going to do things right on the runway.  I remember him calling flip flops thongs and that getting a giggle out of the kids.   I remember working hard to make sure I wasn’t a “rock head”.  He could coach hard and direct and still not crush people.  He made me think higher of myself as far as pole vault goals but also for the kind of person I’d want to be.  I remember wearing...

Where did you come from, your starting fitness and nutrition level?

 Prior to starting Tall Trainer in June 2023, I did not focus on my nutrition at all. I did not pay attention to portion sizes, snacked multiple times throughout the day, and enjoyed sweets way too much! As for my fitness, I had previously ran multiple 5ks and completed runs 1-3 times a week. I would complete spin classes at home too throughout 2020-2021. I lost my motivation though and began 2023 with minimal physical activity (maybe once a week).

What inspired you to start?

I followed Tall Trainer on social media for a while and always wondered what their classes were like; however, I didn’t think I had enough time to focus on me. I lacked motivation. I was gaining weight, lost my energy, felt...
