Delaney was born and raised in Zanesville, Ohio, and recently moved home to begin the next stages of her life. She was a three-sport athlete growing up, and went on to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Sport and Exercise Science at Youngstown State University. For two years she worked in the Kinesiology Lab on campus and spent the final semester as an intern under the Director of Strength and Conditioning for Austintown Local School District.
A note from Delaney:
“During my freshman year I realized very quickly that I knew very little about fitness outside of being a high school athlete. This sent me down a path of severe self-doubt and body image issues because I constantly told myself I didn’t “look” like an exercise science student. I was beginning to burn out because I wasn’t reaching my desired results despite having all of this knowledge at my fingertips. Getting into the gym felt like a chore and that’s when I switched gears and began focusing on the journey, and not simply the end result. Fitness isn’t one size fits all because it’s made for everyone. As a result I fell in love with the process and the hard work. That’s what made it fun and that’s what makes it sustainable. Now I want to help those who have found themselves in the same place of stagnancy as I did. I am proud of this opportunity to share my knowledge and passion with our community.”

Tavian is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and graduated from Zanesville High School in 2016. He has an associates degree in Sports and Fitness Science from Zane State College. He played football and track in high school and also went to Ohio Dominican for football and track for a semester before returning home. During his free time he enjoys playing video games, watching football, UFC fights, and anime.
Tavian has a profound personal story of wellness and weight loss, which has poured strength and happiness into every aspect of his life. When he was 17 years old he weighed 280 pounds, and struggled with social anxiety and depression. He often felt uncomfortable around new people, and lacked self-confidence. As he began to lose weight and gain strength in the gym, he also felt empowered to build a foundation of comfort and confidence outside of the gym in who was as a man. He believes that his health and wellness journey directly impacted who he was becoming as a person, and still continues to do so now. His desire is to build that same self-confidence in his clients, and to use the foundation of exercise and strength in the gym to help heal battles with anxiety and depression. The exercise and body composition gains, he believes, are simply a bonus to feeling better about life in general.
Tavian works with all ages and populations, and specializes in weight loss, toning, and building strength. Zanesville has always been his home, and being able to create a career doing something he loves in his hometown is a dream come true.
