Teaching the last classes of 2025 has filled my cup more than I can put into words. To our members and my private clients who walked through the doors day after day you are the reason I show up, the reason I keep growing, and caring so deeply about this work. I don’t wish you “happiness,” because I don’t believe it’s something we can chase or hold onto. Instead, I wish you peace in who you are, strength in the hard moments, and prosperity in whatever form truly matters to you. As a new year begins, my hope is simple: to be better, to serve deeper, and to guide more people than ever before with honesty, compassion, and purpose. Thank you for trusting me with part of your journey. It means everything.

Kind regards
Tammy Taylor

Dear Past Me,

Wow nine years sober !

I think about you often.
The version of me who was hurting, numbing, escaping, and trying so hard to feel okay. I miss you sometimes — not the chaos, but the girl underneath it all.

I’m sorry I had to leave you the way I did.
One day I just walked away from you, from the bottles, the nights you don’t remember, the mornings filled with regret. It probably felt like abandonment, like I turned my back on you.

But the truth is, I didn’t leave you behind.
I carried you with me.
Every step of these nine sober years, you’ve been right there, reminding me why I chose a different life. You were not a mistake. You were the reason.

I know you were doing your best with what you had. And I wish you could see us now the life you would’ve missed if you kept going down that road. The people, the memories, the strength, the pride, you would have never believed any of it could belong to you.

But it does.
And it’s beautiful.

Thank you for surviving long enough for me to take over.
Thank you for holding on, even on the nights you didn’t want to.
Thank you for giving me the chance to build this life . A life where I wake up clear, grateful, present, alive.

Nine years sober.
Nine years becoming the person you always hoped you could be.

I don’t know exactly what I’m destined for yet, but I know it’s something big. Something meaningful. Something built from everything we fought through. And I’m finally starting to see glimmers of it.

So here’s to you, my past self , the girl I left behind but never stopped loving.
I miss you.
I honour you.
And I promise I’ll make every year ahead worth what you went through.

With love,
The woman you grew into ❤️

never forgotten what u did for me that day ❤️

I’m doing HYROX Pro…🫠

Not for the podium.
Not for the record books.
or the heavy sled-induced nosebleeds.
(Okay, maybe for the medal and the snacks after.)

I’m doing this because I want to get mentally tougher.
I want to do something that shakes me to my core, forces me to meet myself mid-race, breathless and doubting, and still keep going.

I’m not here to break records — I’m just here to not break down (too badly).
To remind myself that discipline beats motivation, and that sometimes the strongest muscle you can train… is your mind.

This isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about being willing.
Willing to hurt a little, sweat a lot, and still choose to show up.

I want to show my bloc community if I can you can.
If we can train the body, we can train the brain too.
Let’s do hard things. Let’s surprise ourselves.
Let’s show fear the front door and invite courage to stay a while.

And in truth be told…
I panic-bought a Pro ticket because I missed the first batch of normal entries and thought, “Well, guess I’m a Pro now.”
So here we are. Mind over panic. Let’s go.

I believe in the saying train with people who challenge u to be better but unfortunately or fortunately how ever u want to look at it life does not allow me to do so but training alone day in and day has vital benefits too.

Training alone has taught me more than just how to face my own demons—its taught me discipline, it’s taught me consistency, it’s taught me how to do hard things, it’s taught me the power of self-validation.

No validation is the best validation. When you stop looking outward for approval, you discover an unshakable strength within.

I’ve learned to fight on my own. To push on my own. To fail on my own. To succeed on my own. And through it all, I’ve realized that true resilience is born when you stand alone and still move forward. And that is true for life, so once again CrossFit has taught me a valuable life lesson

In life, there’s one person you can always count on: yourself. Make that person unstoppable.

8 years sober

Every single day is a choice, a struggle, and a victory. Sobriety isn’t just about saying “no”—it’s about checking in with myself, being in tune with my feelings, and staying true to who I am. Some days are harder than others, but the journey becomes easier, and the rewards grow greater.

I do this, first and foremost, for me. I love the person I’ve become through sobriety. I’ve achieved more than I ever thought possible, and year after year, I see growth that amazes me.

But I also do it to break a cycle—a generational curse of addiction and loss that has shadowed my family for three generations. I’m here to start a new path for my nieces, my nephews, and my Romy. I want to motivate them, to be a role model they can look up to, and to show them what’s possible when you choose strength and self-love.

To my family: I hope I make you proud. Here’s to many more years of sobriety, happiness, and the freedom to truly live.

To my friends and : Thank you for finding me 8 years ago on the streets of Seapoint. Thank you for helping me and for starting me on this incredible journey—the greatest journey of my life. I’ll never forget what you did for me. I appreciate you both more than words can say.

Six months. Six months of diving deep into what my 41 year-old body actually needs to thrive. This journey started with phoning a friend of mine who happens to be a nutritionist, Claire Pye, and what a life-changing path it's been. Together, we tackled my nutrition from all angles: stress hormones, cortisol, inflammation—you name it.

Eating to calm my body, reduce inflammation, and truly nourish it has been the real game-changer. I finally feel like I have a roadmap for fueling my body at this stage of life. Here’s to health, balance, and living my purpose every day. 💪
