As a personal trainer, Taunya was introduced to CrossFit in 2008 and did her first Level 1 Certification in Huntington Beach CA of that same year.

The intensity, movements and community that CrossFit is known for fascinated her and it was something she wanted to be a part of.

​By 2010, Taunya was working as a full-time CrossFit Coach in Vancouver.

With more than 10 years of experience in CrossFit, Taunya continues to educate herself through CrossFit Certifications. It is important for her to be consistently learning and improving as a coach. Taunya is passionate about CrossFit because it challenges her everyday. There is always something to improve, a record to beat, or a skill to perfect. The best part of coaching is seeing clients grow to become more confident and better athletes.
