“Fitness is more than just exercise or just nutrition.” Terah is a firm believer that fitness encompasses all aspects of human health and human performance. We cannot truly perform our best until we understand how to bring balance to our physical, mental, and nutritional wellness.

​

After graduating with her Bachelor’s, a passion for learning was ignited and Terah decided to pursue and obtain a Master’s of Science degree in Human Performance. During this time, she trained underneath her former head coach for the 2018 Olympic Trials for the 800m run.. While working in cardiac rehabilitation, Terah found again, a vigor for teaching her patients not only “how” but “why”. Since joining the team at FTOT, Terah has held the p[osition of Fitness Expert and Internship Coordinator. Terah is passionate about applying her knowledge and experience of the field as the Fitness Manager at Alamo Ranch.

​

Terah has over 12 years of experience as a personal trainer or Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

​

While working as a personal trainer, Terah had a client in her 70s who came to her with knee pain that had become so bad that she could no longer walk the amount that she used to and so she was gaining weight rapidly. Her goal was to be able to walk uphill for 400m with tolerable pain. Over the course of 8 months, her knee pain almost completely diminished and she was able to perform 4 incline “sprints” on her last day of training with me. Her tears of joy were evidence of the gratitude that she held and I’ll never forget the impact those 8 months had on her life.

​

Terah's hobbies include:

Terah would like to eventually become a consultant in Exercise Physiology and continue her research in the world of inflammation.
