Taylor Metzger
Founder, Lead Trainer, Cooper CPT/BRT
I started working out at the age of 15 knowing nothing. One of my motivators was getting bullied. I was 6’1 and 150 pounds, a grasshopper. Over the years, I learned more and more and decided to get my personal training certification when I was 20. I started at 24-Hour Fitness and have worked in various gyms since. I now train at one of the best gyms in Dallas where I have been for the last 4 years. It’s a great community and place that has allowed me to assemble some of the best trainers and fitness professionals under one roof.
Personal training is extremely fulfilling to me. Knowing I can help change others’ lives as I have my own is the best feeling. The self-confidence that being fit can help anyone achieve is like throwing a stone into water and watching the ripples. My methods are simple: show up, work hard, have a good attitude, be consistent, follow, and trust the process. The more you put in, the more you will get out. I practice what I preach, and I better, or why else would you hire me to tell you what to do?

Growing up I only ever played softball during high school. It wasn’t until I graduated High School that I really fell in love with fitness. I went from being the person who was intimidated to step foot in a gym to becoming a Personal Trainer and then Master Trainer at a corporate health club. I then went on to complete certain goals that I set for myself such as completing a Spartan Race, graduating from the Oak Hill Fire Academy, and reaching my goal in strength and muscle endurance.
After having my daughter and then going through one of the toughest lessons life has ever taught me, I realized how important physical activity is, not just for our physical bodies but our minds and spirits as well. I love helping people not only meet their fitness goals but also making sure their mental status is up to par. I understand how mental illness can affect every part of our lives and I also know that adding a daily physical regimen into your schedule can improve every other aspect of your life.
I have been helping people lose weight, gain muscle, and come back from injuries since 2014 and absolutely love what I do!

As a former scholarship collegiate athlete in both volleyball and track and field, I have spent my whole life surrounded by athletics and fitness. During my collegiate experience, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Initially, it was a struggle to change my training and nutrition to manage this condition, but I took it as a challenge and transformed my training and nutrition from sports performance to aesthetics training, similar to that of a bikini or figure competitor. I have made it my mission to help others overcome the daunting challenges of PCOS and reclaim their bodies and lives. The methods I have learned in this process translate to the less complicated everyday individual looking to lose body fat, lean out, and build muscle.
During my journey to reclaim my life from PCOS, I became a trainer in 2019. I am certified in ISSA personal training, group training, nutrition, and strength and conditioning. Fitness and health have this beautiful connection to the way our bodies move, our mental wellness, and our longevity. I want to help you become successful in achieving your goals that last, for a healthier and stronger version of yourself. Let’s embark on this journey together as a team, working towards your goals and achieving a healthier, stronger version of yourself.
