Taija Ventrella Fitness

I have been working out with Taija for several months...and she has been amazing!! From the very first phone call, I felt comfortable with her but also like she really wanted to understand what my goals were so she could help me meet them and to make sure we were a "good fit". I appreciate that so much! I have been been an athlete and worked out for most of my life (I'm 49 now) and the abuse on my body set in a few years ago with hip, neck and shoulder injuries--this is where Taija shines. She has worked closely with me to personalize my workouts, help me regain mobility and strength--all while being mindful of my injuries. And, I cannot believe how much better, healthier and stronger I feel. I used to push myself to the point of pain and with Taija--we've been gradually building my strength to get me to the point I am now--I'm even doing full push-ups and deadlifting with heavy weights--which I haven't done in about 20 years!! And, the best part is..my pain is mostly gone. As I've gained flexibility and strength, my body is responding. Prior to Taija, I had never hired a trainer before...because I have always worked out and been an athlete, I thought I could do it on my own and I wanted to save the money...I could not have been more wrong, she has taught me so much, holds me accountable and I am seeing the results! She is so body-positive and motivating, it's never about "looking a certain way", but being strong, healthy and not in pain! Taija is clearly very knowledgeable about body mechanics and always learning--reading, sharing expertise and the background behind "why" we do certain things,. Not to mention she is just pretty cool to spend time with! I would highly recommend her, without question!

Taija is a very knowledgeable, welcoming trainer who did a great job of adapting to my training goals while also encouraging me forward in my progress. Definitely recommend!

I first connected with Tajia because I have had some repeated injuries due to hypermobility and had been advised by my doctor that I compensate for a lack of strength with flexibility, which was causing the issues. Building strength and …

Even after a short consultation with Taija, I feel empowered, and equipped with a better understanding to take an important step towards my long term self care. …

Having had a handful of trainers over the years, I appreciate so many attributes that Taija brings to the table. She’s very knowledgeable and creative in terms of curating a program tailored to the individual and their needs. No generic routine here. Taija is a dynamic trainer and an athlete herself - she walks the walk and knows how to get you where you want to be.With her studio, she has created a zero-pretense environment for her clients to attain their goals and literally change their lives. She’s the ace up my sleeve in terms of training and I can’t recommend her enough.

I can only say wonderful things about Taija! She is a fabulous personal trainer and human being. If anyone is nervous about lifting weights or getting in shape Taija will calm your nerves and make you feel relaxed and confident within her studio. She has a kind, respectful, and motivating way about her. Each session was specifically designed to meet my training goals. I am a physical therapist and have been very impressed with how observant and knowledgeable Taija is regarding the human body. If anyone has a history of chronic pain or prone to injury, she is definitely the personal trainer for you! She takes into consideration how your body is feeling at the start of each workout and has a way of challenging her clients without overdoing which could lead to injury. I have truly been inspired by the positivity and authenticity Taija radiates in her work.
