Jan is an excellent instructor, fun, caring, personal. She works well with folks beginning their fitness journey as well as those who are already in excellent shape. I have been attending her classes for three years, and have benefitted from her coaching program as well. She is simply the best.

Jan’s Get Lively 30-day Challenge was exactly the motivation I needed to kick off the journey down a better pathway. Simple little changes like drinking more water and eating more veggies made a huge difference in my overall approach to healthier eating. The stretching videos and the various challenges were great. Plus, the ongoing accountability for doing healthier things was an effective motivator! Jan is so positive, enthusiastic and lively — and reasonable! Great program, and I look forward to continuing the relationship!

Jan and her Get Lively crew are the most welcoming and supportive group. You’ll never have a bad day after one of the classes. She’ll give you the motivation to start but somehow you’ll end up motivating yourself … she’s kind of magic! You won’t regret it.

Jan is the absolute best instructor/fitness coach that I have ever worked with! If you think you aren't a "gym person" - this is the place for you! After a long break from exercising during the pandemic, I was so hesitant to start again. The community at Get Lively made me feel so welcome from day one, and it is now a part of my weekly routine I can't live without. Thank you so much helping me to live a happier and healthier life!

I've just finished Jan Taylor's Lifestyle program and I can't recommend it enough. In the past, I've struggled with an "all or nothing" mindset in regards to improving my health. The old "if you can't give it 100% don't bother" and as a result I so often would set unattainable goals for myself and then fail. The Lifestyle program taught me how to tackle common challenges in concrete ways and did so in an environment of humor, support and relatability. Check it out, you won't regret it!

I started with Jan at Get Lively about 3 months ago. I have struggled with my weight for years and would try to do group classes at other places or work out on my own and I couldn't help but think everyone was watching me. I felt like I couldn't do the exercises in the classes and I felt embarrassed that people were watching me or judging me (even if they aren't, we all feel like that sometimes) Working out on my own or at home was very inconsistent and unsuccessful it is so hard to get up, get dressed and push yourself to do things. During Quarantine I realized things were getting bad, I didn't want to do much of anything and I was body shaming myself for being overweight and struggling emotionally. That is when I reached out to Jan for one on one training. It start out as a this is a good thing for me (aka I just need to eat my vegetables) then when it was hard it turned into well I want Jan to be proud of me. Now just a few short months in I cannot wait for another session with Jan. Being in her studio I let go of all my problems and push myself to be the very best I can in that moment. Even if I can't give 100% any other day, I think just give 100% in this one short hour then go home and sleep and be lazy but right now it is go time. Through my journey Jan has been so supportive. She truly listens to any needs I have, maybe I am not feeling great today. Okay lets work on slower paced weight training and stretching. Maybe I don't feel like I am be challenged enough well she is always more than happy to push you further! Her energy at every appointment is happy and as stated lively. Her optimism and can do attitude is contagious. She is also patient when you are in pain or if you have hurt yourself doing dumb things in life (looking at myself for carrying something too heavy that I should not have been). Jan has been very responsive when I text her to tell her what is bothering me, maybe my back hurts, maybe I was sore the next day and she comes back with solutions and stretches even when she does not have to. With Jan I have lost 10 pounds, I feel more confident than before and can't wait to get back to show her and myself what else I am capable of.

I participated in the Get Lively Lifestyle program. It was 12 weeks long and each week had a different focus on how to live a healthy lifestyle. We learned some "hacks" so if you're in a rush to make dinner you have things you can grab and eat. We spent some time looking at our own habits and how to warp them into "healthy" habits. I've continued with some of the hacks I learned and the habits I tweaked and am much more conscious of my lifestyle choices! There is a group component which was key especially during some of the days/weeks when I was waning in my commitment. Jan's suggestions were right on target and so helpful!Jan is wonderful at motivating you to keep going and working on living a healthy lifestyle, she's inspirational and a great resource for all things health and fitness. I highly recommend the program!

It is there and she will help you find it!! If you are looking for motivation, direction, inspiration or kicking it up a notch I highly recommend Get Lively. We have benefited from the Get Lively way and advice for years and are very grateful!

I've enjoyed several of Jan's courses and can't say enough good things about her and what she offers.Jan teaches her clients to listen to their body to create the best lifestyle for themselves, through diet, exercise and mindfulness. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude is infectious and encouraging.After Jan's 12 week Lifestyle Program Íve increased my water intake, cut way back on carbs, added a lot more veggies, have very little sugar,increased my exercise, take more time for myself and lost 10 pounds. The best part of all that is that Jan taught me how to kickstart a healthier lifestyle for a lifetime.
