Teaira Bass – Stretch Therapy (Sport Massage)
Hi, I’m Teaira!
I take a holistic approach to fitness, considering multiple aspects of your body and overall wellness. As a Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist with a degree in Exercise and Movement Science, I specialize in functional strength training, nutrition, and deep tissue assisted stretch therapy.
My Journey
My passion for health coaching stems from my personal experience. I know what it feels like to not know where or how to start. Growing up, I struggled with poor eating habits and lifestyle choices, which left me overweight and at risk for diabetes at a young age. In college, I reached my heaviest weight at 230 pounds.
Everything changed when I decided to reclaim my health. I realized no one was coming to save me, so I made healthier choices and built sustainable habits. Over the course of six months, I lost 60 pounds. This transformation inspired me to help other women—and their families—feel better and reclaim their health, just as I did.
Training Options
I offer a range of training services, including:
- 1:1 Training
- Semi-Private/Small Group Training (2–6 people)
- 1:1 Online Coaching (4–12 months)
Sessions are available in 30- or 60-minute formats, tailored to fit your needs and goals.
Training Location
I train clients in a private studio located in the Design District. This exclusive gym is reserved for personal trainers and their clients, ensuring a focused and supportive environment. The studio is conveniently located with easy access from most parts of the city, making it simple to fit sessions into your busy schedule.
What to Expect
Depending on your goals, a session may include a combination of:
- Weight Training
- Functional Training
- Stretch Therapy
Your journey starts with a FREE consultation, which includes:
- A tour of the facility
- A brief movement assessment
- A 15–20-minute conversation about your goals and health history
It’s Time to Take Action
If you’re still reading, it’s time to make a change. Say goodbye to crash diets, stop feeling deprived, and start enjoying food without giving up your favorites.
If you’re ready to start your journey, reach out today to schedule your consultation. Let’s reclaim your health together!
