Strong Mama Fitness

I can’t imagine my world (or body) without Tal. After giving birth to my second daughter, I suffered from diastasis recti and lower back pain. I wanted to get strong again and to work out, but I was so scared of hurting myself again (I threw my back out last spring, 6mo pp). Tal helped me identify exactly what I needed to do to strengthen, heal AND get back in my skinny jeans again. I love our weekly sessions but even when I have to miss one due to my busy work travel schedule, Tal will customize a workout for me to do on the road (we even tested a hotel room-​version that really works!). She’s also just generally wonderful to be around. If you are looking for a fantastic pre or post-​natal trainer, she’s the best of the best!

I have been training with Tal since December and would highly recommend her, especially for those who may be unsure of whether they want to dive into personal training. I was the least in shape of my life when I started with Tal, but she was excellent at meeting me where I was while also pushing me to get stronger. I get a whole body workout in our sessions, and know that I am doing things the right way — she keeps a close eye out for form. She is highly organized and professional in addition to being very knowledgeable about multiple different types of exercise. In particular, she has a seemingly endless repetoire of exercises based on normal movement — very few tools required. I’m never bored! She’s also a kind, interesting person who is fun to chat with.

Tal is professional and warm and she knows what she’s doing. She tailors the workout to your needs, not hers. Working with her is both challenging and fun and the results are obvious. I highly recommend her.

Tal is awesome! Highly recommend! I was in SF on business for a week and wanted to keep up my training. Tal came to my hotel gym every morning for a 1 hr session. We did everything from circuits to TRX and pilates. She challenged me, but was also a tonne of fun to work with. She was also able to make great recommendations of other great fitness classes to take while I was in SF. I would definitely work with Tal again. 5 stars!

Tal offered me an hour of her time without charge and I never looked back. It’s been 3 months now, twice per week, and I can say I have a different body — strong core, muscle tone, I’m sleeping better and I have energy. She has pushed me ever so gently and I am constantly amazed of what I am capable of doing.
Tal has inspired me to be the best I can be and I will not give her up. I look at my time with Tal as an investment — in me. I will not give her up!

I have worked alongside Tal at the JCC in Palo Alto for the past year, and I am always impressed with the motivation, intense, and fun workouts that she provides to her clients. She always is full of energy and is very knowledgable in her field. The progress she has made with all of her clients is very inspiring. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

My husband and I have been training with Tal for the past six months. She is great! She is always very professional and knowledgable as well as motivational. We really enjoy working out with her and have seen great results in strength and flexibility. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends!

I trained with Tal for a few months and really felt she was a great trainer who was attentive to my needs. Unfortunately I moved a bit further away and our schedules didn’t really sync, but she gets an A in my book.

Wow! Tal is awesome! I can’t find the words to express how happy I am since I found such a trainer. I’ve tried several trainers throughout my life and could never find one that I want to stick to, till I found her. I’m fit and energetic. Thanks Tal!
