‘‘I am a 52-year old mom and started working with Tamar approximately 3 years ago. From the very beginning our workouts were completely different from anything else I had experienced previously. First, we were quiet and very focused on form. Each workout included some typical strength exercises that were customized for me, but also ones that were much more challenging and worked multiple areas at once, or else forced me to focus on neglected concepts like flexibility, balance and mobility. In addition, Tamar coached me on diet, digestion, mindful eating and increasing my protein intake. We also closely tracked my progress and she challenged me to lift heavier over time and encouraged me as I was able to complete exercises that had been previously impossible. 

The results have been remarkable. My core is the strongest it’s been in my life. My clothes fit better. My glutes are tighter, my arms are more sculpted. I’m able to contain my weight fluctuations and remain relatively stable. I notice I can lift much heavier and I am letting myself do that in my own time away from Tamar. I have better body awareness and can make adjustments as we lift to my core or my posture that were previously impossible. Training with Tamar is one of the most important and personally fulfilling things I do each week and I am extremely grateful for her support and wholeheartedly endorse her work. ‘‘

‘‘Tamar has a vast knowledge of the human body, and gives every movement an intention. Most impactful to me is how she has completely corrected the mistakes I've been making in exercises I've been doing my whole life - my body feels better doing them now, and I know they are giving me the maximum benefit. 

I have pelvic floor and lower back problems, and working with Tamar has allowed me to see real results - strengthening me without activating pain.  She customizes our workouts, and even in a short matter of time, has worked me up to doing exercises I haven't been able to in the past.

Working with Tamar has inspired me to re-think daily movements - something as small as how I'm standing up and sitting down. With some of my pelvis and back problems, I've in the past been deterred from working those muscles, but Tamar has helped me feel empowered to put mind over matter, knowing I'm now using them in a productive way.’’

‘‘I have trained with Tamar for over a year - I had a high risk pregnancy and Tamar approached my training during that period with a lot of thought and care - tailoring safe workouts that helped me prepare for birth. Post birth Tamar has been phenomenal in helping me safely return to weight lifting and high impact cardio. I couldn’t recommend working with Tamar more highly. ‘‘

‘‘I can’t say enough good things. 

When we started, I’d been battling chronic neck pain. It was my latest injury in a disappointing cycle of trying to re-prioritize fitness only to wind up injured. Confidence and comfort in my body was low.  

8 months into working with Tamar, my neck pain was under control, I felt strong and capable, and I looked forward to working out instead of fearing it. I felt like I was finally returning to a version of myself I hadn’t experienced in 5 years - since before pregnancies and motherhood changed my body and my relationship to it. 

Tamar is very attuned to my body. She strikes the perfect balance of safety and challenge, and never makes modifications feel like fragility. I am not focused on any specific quantitative outcomes (so I don’t take advantage of the data and insights she makes available), but it’s empowering when she tells me I’ve PR-ed. I remain surprised how frequently it happens…though I shouldn’t be given the intention she brings to how she tailors and builds my program. 

Training with her is everything that I'd hoped it'd be for my physical and mental health.  I’m beyond grateful. ‘‘
