Fitness By Sarah Taylor

I joined Fitness by Sarah Taylor on August 2020 during an offer of a 3 day trial. I chose the On Demand option as it best suited my lifestyle.From the very first workout I was hooked. Sarah offers a ton of modifications, she speaks in a way that you feel empowered and encouraged to follow your own body’s needs. She shows off her body as to ensure we see other plus size women’s bodies and how they move differently. How to give us the courage to do the same.You never feel like you aren’t good enough or that you’ll never achieve what she lays out as a plan for the workout. Her instructions are very clear, and she is very good at explaining where and how things should feel.The added benefit of her social media presence, private group on Facebook and coaching calls all wrap up her message and push for a whole body and mind journey to self love.This has been the key piece for me, while I’m not always 100% successful, Sarah reminds us regularly this is a journey, not an all or nothing attempt. Everything we do to change our selves to feel better makes a difference when it comes form a place of self love instead of the self hate we all have had at one time or another.I have now been a committed #OnDemand member for 5 months and commit to moving my body 5 days a week.Sarah often offers free live classes to members and non members, so I also get to participate in those when it’s convenient for me and that’s always a nice little boost for my confidence! <3Seriously, if you are a plus size girl looking for an embracing community of support for moving your body and generally feeling better in your body look no further than Fitness by Sarah Taylor!

WOW! When the pandemic hit, I lost any hope of being able to find a gym again that would allow me to take group classes and feel part of a community. And then a friend showed me Fitness By Sarah Taylor... a body-positive remote fitness space that would allow me to work out in a trendy Toronto gym from my home in Ottawa. The classes are thoughtfully planned, challenging and provide lots of modifications for injury, preference and ability. Sarah is highly positive and communicative with clients - highly recommend :)

Fitness by Sarah Taylor is the first gym where I have felt truly comfortable and supported no matter how I am feeling. All of the trainers at Fitness by Sarah Taylor are able and willing to provide modifications for all of the exercises regardless of your fitness level or if you have an injury. This is a true community that has been an incredible support of me in my journey to self-love, body acceptance and a higher level of confidence and happiness! Thanks Sarah for starting this amazing place!

I discovered Fitness by Sarah Taylor in October 2020, when searching for plus size fitness videos online that I could do while working from home. I tried a couple of Sarah's free videos on Youtube, and found the workouts were perfect for me: suited to my fitness level, a variety of videos to focus on different areas of my body, different class lengths (an hour, 30 minutes, even 7 minute quickies!) to suit my schedule, and the modifications and Sarah's body-positive instruction have helped me to be successful accomplishing my personal workout goals. I participated in my first 6 week fitness challenge in November 2020 and enjoyed it so much, I couldn't wait to sign up for a monthly membership as my investment in my personal well-being!

I am incredibly grateful to have found Fitness by Sarah Taylor. Sticking to a gym routine has always been tough in the past, but now I find myself looking forward to my next workout. There are a variety of classes throughout the week and Sarah does an amazing job of teaching proper form and modifying exercises for different fitness levels. She also puts a strong focus on self love and confidence rather than weight loss like most gyms, which is super refreshing. Not only am I getting stronger physically, but also mentally and emotionally. This place is so much more than just a gym!

This gym is a game changer for women/womyn of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Sarah creates an intentional space where belonging and self-love is at the centre. We are encouraged to set our own goals and celebrated when we meet them. After joining this gym, I feel stronger and more confident to take on new challenges. Thank you Sarah, for this incredible space that supports us to grow our minds, bodies and souls.

More than a gym, Fitness by Sarah Taylor is a loving community of women who support each other on their journey to self love. Going to a class here feels less like working out and more like having fun and feeling good with your best girlfriends. There is a strict no diet talk policy and you will work out with women of all fitness levels, shapes and sizes. The trainers provides modifications to exercises so you do what feels good for your body and you are encouraged to listen to your body's needs, which can also mean taking longer breaks. I can't recommend this gym enough, I've really learned to love to move my body and feel confident in my skin. Thank you Sarah Taylor for the hard work you have put into creating this amazing space and community!

I've tried many gyms and never found one like this. I no longer dread going to the gym, but actually look forward to it! Thanks Sarah for creating this unique place!

My first time participating in a Fitness By Sarah Taylor challenge and I am in love! I’ve joined many other gyms, virtual platforms and coaching groups... but this is my favorite one yet. The focus is on my body - no talk about diets, calorie counts, etc. The workouts are amazing and SO many moderations depending on your body type, and what injuries you may have. I workout on all my days off and I’m ALWAYS looking forward to seeing the ladies!
