Meet Tarsha

image00009.jpeg

Hi! I am Tarsha Gibbons, the founder of Gibbons Family Fitness. I am a wife, mom, entrepreneur, businesswoman and fitness professional. My understanding of fitness came when my dad gifted me a membership to Bally‘s Gym for my 18th birthday. At that time, I was in college and overweight(I am partial to a honey bun). I started going to the gym and it was terrible at first but I kept at it. Working out made me feel empowered. It quickly became a part of my lifestyle.

    After a 12-year career in law enforcement, I was blessed to have my son and that is when everything changed. I decided to quit my job and honestly, I had no clue where I was headed next. But I trusted that God would help me. I had a friend who owned a wellness company that asked me to help her out. I worked with her for about three years teaching children physical fitness, nutrition, and healthy cooking.  

    This is how Gibbons Family Fitness was founded. I began to see this as more than just a fitness business because I would be helping people to show up as their best selves in the world and accomplish their goals. When you’re healthy everything else seems manageable, doable, and possible.

Gibbons Family Fitness has been touching so many lives it still amazes me. Our team has helped create health and wellness programs for individuals, families, community outreach organizations, schools, faith-based organizations, government agencies and corporations. The goal is to educate participants about adopting a healthy lifestyle and learning how to maintain it. 

  I thank you for choosing Gibbons Family Fitness to be a part of your wellness journey. 

"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening-- It's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. " 

                                                                                           Hebrews 12:11 NLT
