My name is Kim Spivack, and I am a certified personal trainer, nutrition specialist, and health coach. I have over twenty years of experience in the fields of health, fitness, and nutrition education. 

I began my career as a health and physical education teacher. I’ve taught children and adolescents from ages 5-18. After teaching students, I moved into an administrative role as the health and physical education curriculum specialist, where I both wrote the curriculum and trained teachers.

During this time, I began working on a Ph.D. in education. In the last year of my Ph.D. program, I took a sabbatical from my job as the health and physical education curriculum supervisor to conduct my research and complete my dissertation. At that time, I decided to start personal training to fill in the time when I wasn’t working on my research. 

I realized very quickly that I LOVED personal training and working one-on-one with people to improve their fitness. I defended my dissertation, became Dr. Spivack, had my daughter Taylor (who I named my business after), and made a 180 in my career all in the same year.

After a few years working in a health club, I branched out and created my own personal training company. I was the owner, manager, trainer, marketer, and salesperson all in one. It taught me a lot about operating a small business. I loved my clients and was able to grow the business quickly just by word of mouth. I have a training studio in my home, which I created myself. 

In 2017, I learned about a nutrition-based weight loss company opening in my area that focuses on nutrition. I had a background in nutrition from my teaching and writing curriculum as well as a certification in Precision Nutrition. Many of my personal training clients wanted help with their nutrition, and many also wanted to lose weight. Personally, I missed being part of a team after being a solo business owner for several years. So, I joined the company as a health and nutrition coach. I continued to operate my personal training company as well. 

Eventually, I was asked to open my own branch of the nutrition company. I paused my personal training business to focus on building the new company

Now, I have both extensive personal training and a nutrition/health coaching background. I’ve helped hundreds and hundreds of people get fit and eat better. I’ve trained adolescents all the way to the elderly. I have clients all over the country as well as locally. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to be able to help people improve their health and well-being. 

Now that I have taken you through a very abbreviated story of my past, I want to share where I am today. I completed another certification in Health and Wellness Coaching through Georgetown University. I love to learn, and I suppose a Ph.D. is not quite enough. But really, I wanted to learn more, and it inspired me to take this next step.

I am combining my health and nutrition coaching services with my personal training. My new name is Taylor Made Fitness & Nutrition, LLC.
