Training with Tenae!

Tenae is a passionate and dynamic fitness professional with over 10+ years of experience in private and group training settings. Her mission is to help every BODY optimize their core function by integrating pelvic health and strength training principles. She firmly believes by combining all of these qualitative methods into a personalized program that EVERY client will achieve their personal and athletic goals!

Her education includes Bachelor’s in Science in Kinesiology, Pre/Postnatal Training, TRX Training, Pelvic Health, Core and Pelvic Floor Function. She integrates all of her versatile and evidence-based education to create customized programs for each client.

Tenae comes from an avid, athletic background, dedicating herself to pre-professional ballet and high level swimming for over 15 years. During her athletic pursuits, she dealt with constant low-back and hip pain along with various other injuries. This was baffling since she was considered to be a strong athlete, but was constantly getting injured no matter what she did. The nagging aches and pains were interfering with her quality of life so she was determined to find a solution!

After becoming a mother and refocusing on her training, Tenae realized through her top notch education that she was never taught proper breathing or movement principles. By improving her breath work, pelvic health and core function, Tenae was able to recover seamlessly during her postpartum journey and advance her strength training! She was able to lift heavier weights and incorporate impact training without leakage, discomfort or issue. It felt like she had finally addressed the root of all her problems by focusing on proper core function, pelvic health and strength training.

The empowerment and enthusiasm she felt was addicting. Tenae’s goal is to fuel each and every person with the same education and empowerment to improve their quality of life and athleticism!

My Coaching Philosophy

Tenae takes on a HOLISTIC APPROACH when creating customized strength or rehabilitative programs for every client. She considers intricate details such as how someone breathes to how they naturally hold themselves or how they move on a daily basis. Since the human body is interconnected, Tenae evaluates every individual’s habits before prescribing certain exercises to address their aches, pains or goals.

SPECIALIZED PROGRAM

  • Your pelvic health is crucial to improve your quality of life. Tenae has worked with many clients who deal with constant low back, hip, pubic or tailbone pain. Aside from these aches and pains interfering with daily living, they can also cause someone to feel hopeless and unmotivated. Most people are unaware HOW and WHY they are holding their pelvis on a daily basis or during training sessions. Tenae understands that pelvic orientation (the way someone holds their pelvis) directly affects their pelvic floor and core function. In order to improve pelvic floor or core related issues, it’s important to address one root of the problem by evaluating one’s pelvic alignment. Many of Tenae’s clients feel instant and sustainable relief by incorporating the proper pelvic alignment for THEIR BODY!

  • The core is the power house of the human body. Fun fact — ALL movement patterns are initiated from the core system! To clarify, the core is not only the 6-pack of abs that everyone desires to have… Technically speaking, the core is a system of deep muscles whose job is to manage intra-abdominal pressure and support the spine and pelvis. Core function can be improved upon no matter what stage of life someone is going through. It’s important to address core function by evaluating breath work and alignment fundamentals. Once Tenae assesses a client’s breathing patterns and alignment habits, she is able to assign rehabilitative tools to help improve core function! Tenae’s clients feel motivated and unstoppable after improving their core function. All of Tenae’s clients comment on how they no longer experience pain, leakage, prolapse or any other pelvic floor dysfuncion!

  • Strength training is all the rage these days, but why is it so important? Strength training helps women and men build and maintain muscle mass, improve bone density, enhance cardiovascular health, refine metabolism, improve daily living, enhance hormone function and decrease stress and other ailments. Tenae adjusts strength training routines to each individual’s needs and desires! After she integrates the proper pelvic health and core function tools, every client is able to progress their strength training pain free!
