Tyler McClain, fitness and nutrition coach
Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Tyler.
Fitness & Nutrition Coach

My passion for fitness started through basketball and volleyball, but my purpose grew through my own challenges, from overcoming an Achilles injury to navigating my own 30-pound weight loss journey.

Those experiences taught me that fitness is about more than physical transformation. It's about building confidence, overcoming obstacles, and discovering what you're capable of.

That's why I became a coach.

My mission is to help people of all fitness levels build strength, move better, and create sustainable habits through intentional training and nutrition.

My personal weight-loss journey

I've been on
the journey, too.

These photos are part of my own 30-pound weight-loss journey. I know what it feels like to work toward change while learning how to show up for yourself.

That experience informs my coaching: meet you where you are, give you direction, and help you keep moving forward.
