About Taylor

My name is Taylor Rivkin, I am from San Diego, California and have been a personal trainer for over a decade. I have a Bachelors degree in Human Health and a Masters Degree in Exercise Science. I started personal training because my family struggles with chronic disease! My sister was diagnosed with PCOS, my mother has Hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) and my brother has Epilepsy. I am in a constant fight with genetics to keep myself healthy especially as I get older. My training moto is baby steps. One small change or habit at a time can make a healthy lifestyle sustainable and achievable.

?My Clients End Up:
-Losing the weight
-Building physical strength
-Building fitness and healthy living in their life
-Achieving and maintaining their goals
-Gaining mental confidence

I Help People
-Get off the diet rollercoaster once and for all
-Eat better; without dieting or feeling deprived
-Get active; no matter what shape they are in
-Ditch the fad diets and food rules

With my clients, I structure programs based on each of their personal needs and fitness goals. My experience working with chronic diseases and mental health has helped hundreds of my clients and friends lose weight, get/stay healthy as well as do our best with long term chronic disease prevention and maintenance.
