From the gymnastics gym to the barbell
Taylor Tattan's road to strength training started in a gymnastics gym.
Her former gymnastics coach introduced her to strength and conditioning, and she began to see the results of weightlifting in her own performance. That was enough to hook her, and before heading to physical therapy school she got certified through the NSCA.
She has been training clients for 5 years. Today she is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and she brings both sides of her story, the lifter and the clinician, to everyone she works with.
Two roles, one busy week
A normal week for Taylor moves between physical therapy and strength training.
She treats pelvic floor clients as a physical therapist, then heads to the training floor to work with her strength and conditioning clients. "I love the ability to offer both services," she says.
She trains out of Aspire Athletics, which makes it convenient to get her own lifts in. She also runs Monarch Training Systems for her own clients while working through the gym, and her main neighborhood is Fremont.
A pelvic floor lens on performance
Every client gets an integrated pelvic floor rehab and performance lens.
She says that blend is what makes her coaching different, and it fits naturally with her specialties in mobility and injury recovery and in pre and postnatal training.
The second piece is that she is client-centered. Everyone's voice and opinion matters to her, she says, so the plan is built with the client rather than handed down to them. She is also taking new clients.
The client who took back the driver's seat
Taylor is proudest of a new mom who started training with her while dealing with prolapse symptoms.
Her symptoms fully improved, and so did her confidence in her own body. She describes the change as stepping fully back into the driver's seat of life, with no more worry about whether she could physically pick up her own child. For a physical therapist who also loves the training floor, that is exactly the kind of result both sides of the work are built to deliver.
The hard part, and what comes next
The hardest part of the work is seeing a client's potential before the client does.
Sometimes a client does not see it in themselves and ends up not committing to the process, she says, and that is the moment she wishes she could hand over her own view.
Looking ahead, she is focused on continuing to grow and network within the community. She loves her current client base and is excited to keep expanding it.
Off the clock
Away from the gym, she recently discovered the world of romantasy, and her favorite series so far is A Court of Thorns and Roses.
She is currently reading Sarah J Maas's newest release, A Court of Splintered Harmony. She is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. She holds an NSCA certification. She runs Monarch Training Systems and trains out of Aspire Athletics, with Fremont as her main neighborhood.
