Taylor Yates | Instructor

Taylor is an ASFA certified group fitness instructor. She and her husband, Ryan, have three boys Rhett, Colt, and Ty. As a former Division 1 soccer player, fitness has always had a major role in her life. When she had her first son in 2016, she struggled with her identity as a new mom. She was missing that “team” environment she had always known, and it was isolating. She started coming to S.L.A.M. in 2019 and found the “team” that she was missing. S.L.A.M. fosters Taylor’s love for meeting new people and friendly competition, which challenges her to be her best self. Her favorite ways to S.L.A.M. are HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), weight training and running.

Columbus SLAMer

As a “work-from-home” mom I only have a limited amount of time for things outside the home; this couldn’t be a better compromise to getting time with other moms, socialization for my daughter, and oh yeah a stinking good workout!!! My hubby even came to a class and vouched for its legitimacy. The coaches are fabulous and remember your name just after ONE class and truly make you feel like a valued member from day one. I love it and would recommend it to everyone of every kind of shape – heck, I started the first time back when I was 32 weeks pregnant!
