I may not be the fastest, strongest, or most skilled gymnast—but I keep my toes pointed, hit all the points of performance, and bring 10 years of WOD pacing and strategy to the table. That’s what keeps me a top contender in almost any workout!
If there were a signature “Tavia” workout, it would include handstand push-ups, toes-to-bar, and running… lots of rounds. The longer, the better!

I discovered CrossFit when I was 19. At the time, I was an avid long-distance runner and regular gym-goer—but little did I know, my workouts weren’t actually helping me become a better athlete! As a highly competitive high school athlete across various sports, I found myself missing the drive to practice skills and perform at a high level.
CrossFit changed that. It gave me a new set of skills to work toward, introduced me to a community of like-minded people, and helped turn my passion for health and wellness into a fulfilling career.
Today, the fitness I’ve built in the gym lets me enjoy all the activities I love—volleyball, mountain biking, running, snowboarding, skate skiing, and pretty much any outdoor hobby the Okanagan has to offer.
I don’t compete often in the sport of CrossFit, but I’m always up for jumping on a team and letting my inner competitor out. I love testing my limits and seeing how far I can push myself physically.
As a coach, I live for those “aha” moments in gymnastics, the loud celebrations after new lift PRs, and the strong sense of community that shows up in every class and event. One of my favorite things is watching women of all ages lift—I truly believe women are powerhouses, and I love helping them embrace that strength.
