Client Spotlight: Meet Talley T, One of Our Mantra Rockstars!

At Mantra Fitness, we love celebrating the incredible individuals who make our community so special. This month, we’re excited to introduce you to Talley from Mantra Lakewood Ranch. She has been a part of our Pilates family for the past six months, and her story is full of motivation, dedication, and inspiration. Let’s get to know her better!

How did you get started with Mantra?

“I was actually introduced to Mantra by my daughter’s best friend who had been doing classes for months and we noticed an amazing transformation in her physique. I have been a Physical Therapist for years and have tried so many different types of exercise and I wanted to do something where I felt welcomed and comfortable to work out and to really tone and get fit. As a 56 year old woman it becomes more and more difficult to lose weight and to tone and it is imperative that we continue to do resistance training to keep our lean body mass. I have going to Mantra for about 4-5 months now and have lost over 20 lbs and have completely transformed by mind, body and spirit.”

What’s your favorite part of class at Mantra Fitness?

“I love coming to Mantra and being greeted every time with a welcoming smile, and I enjoy all of the instructors as they are all amazing instructors.”

How have Mantra workouts changed your life?

“I have been going through a difficult time in my life and Mantra has created a positive retreat and has helped me move forward into a place of healing and renewal.”

If you had to pick one word to describe your journey at Mantra, what would it be?

“Inspirational!”

What would you say to someone thinking about trying a Mantra workout for the first time?

“You will love the change you will see in your life and your body. I always tell people that Prayer and Pilates has changed my life in an amazingly positive way. It has been a wonderful journey since I started at Mantra, just like life, Pilates is challenging but if you persevere and choose the road less traveled the reward is immeasurable.”

Talley is a true inspiration, and we’re so lucky to have her in our Pilates community. Whether she’s crushing it on the mega or bringing her positive energy to the studio, we’re always excited to see her! Be sure to say hi when you catch her in class!
