Welcome back to the podcast! On this episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with Tawnya Nguyen, a strength and performance coach that I've been working with since October 2021. She has taught me a more sustainable way to approach fitness, to be more compassionate towards myself, and to see every moment as an opportunity instead of an obligation. I appreciate all that she does so much and highly recommend her to everyone. 

Tawnya is a strength + performance coach and co owner of Movement Society from Los Angeles. She is invested in helping people commit to a sustainable lifestyle while achieving  their greatest human potential through movement. One of her biggest missions is to create an safe and inclusive space for women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ community within the fitness industry.

Her love for movement started since she was dancing at the age of 7 with focuses in ballet, contemporary, and various choreography styles. From there, she was always seeking different ways to explore movement athletically and artistically. What gravitated her towards fitness was the ability to unlock one’s potential by utilizing different scientific systems and her favorite, the human connection. Training not only rehabilitated her chronic injuries, but it’s elevated her day to day and athletic performance. These experiences have shaped me into the coach that she is today and she hopes to be able to share her passion and knowledge with those she crossed paths with.
