“When I’m not training, I’m a busy mama of two littles. We like to do anything that keeps us active! Paddle boarding, soccer in the yard, bike rides, trampolines, you name it. If it’s active, count us in! I also love to bake, do puzzles, play board games, and have been known to binge a Netflix show with a glass or two of wine from time to time.
Health and fitness has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I played all the sports in a small town in Iowa. This led me to go on and play Division 1 volleyball for the University of Missouri Kansas City. I graduated in 2016 with a Psychology degree and knew I wanted to keep fitness a major part of my life.
I’ve always been known to my family as the “health and fitness lady” and would often give fitness advice and write workouts for friends. I always had a passion for health and fitness topics and would find myself reading books and listening to podcasts about fitness subjects often. Finally in 2023 I read a book called “Built to Move” by Kelley and Julliett Starrett, and I knew I had to get certified and start sharing my knowledge with others. That winter I got my Personal Training certification through NASM and started an online coaching business called Train with TayRae in the summer of 2024.
My passion is helping women build sustainably healthy lifestyles - that includes diet, physical fitness, mentality, and community. My focus is on strength training and proper pelvic floor/core strengthening. With my psychology background, I want nothing more than to help all women realize their full potential! I believe that the greatest thing a woman can do for herself is invest in her health. It’s the ultimate form of self-care, and there is no better time to start than TODAY.
I love the uplifting community that is here at NYTG. I think women flourish when they have a community of other women loving and supporting them and I love to be a part of that!
One thing I will never stop saying: You’re stronger than you think you are!
