Tai Fitness started with my own struggle, even though I was already a trainer.
I became a certified personal trainer in 2007 and have been training women ever since, apart from some time off after having my daughter. I knew exercise and nutrition well.
Then in 2013, I gained 20 lbs of stubborn fat that wouldn’t budge, no matter what I did. I got blood work done and everything came back fine, which made it even more confusing. After a year of trial and error, a naturopathic doctor told me that when your hormones are out of balance, weight loss is nearly impossible.
That was my aha moment. I stopped fighting my body and started training and eating in ways that supported my metabolism and hormones. I lost 15 lbs in 3 months and got my energy and strength back. It changed how I train, and it’s what I’ve been teaching women ever since.
I started Tai Fitness to help other mothers and women get their health back too. "Tai" meaning ultimate or supreme in chinese, and is why I named it Tai Fitness.
What makes my approach different
My training is built on Metabolic Fit Fusion, which combines strength training, Pilates and yoga. Strength training builds lean muscle that supports your metabolism, Pilates builds deep core strength, and yoga helps your body and nervous system recover.
Every program also includes nutrition, so you know how to eat for your goals without restrictive diets, and myofascial stretching and mindful movement, so your body feels good, not just worked.
I train women in person in Vaughan and online, and I offer workshops and classes for women who want to explore yoga and mindful movement.
Our mission: to help women feel strong, energized and at home in their bodies.
About Me
Hi, I’m Niki. I’m a certified personal trainer, nutrition wellness specialist and yoga instructor (RYT 200), and the founder of Tai Fitness. I’m also a mom, and I bring that into how I work with women.
I help busy women in their 30s and 40s lose fat, tone and get stronger without spending hours in the gym, giving up their favourite foods or counting calories. I’ve worked with hundreds of women over more than 15 years, in gyms and through workshops and classes, in person and online.
Movement has been my medicine for a long time. I’ve dealt with chronic pain from scoliosis and sciatica, and after having my daughter I went through four years of postpartum depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Exercise and yoga became tools to manage my body, mind and emotions. When I hit my own weight loss wall in 2013, I knew what it was like to feel like your body isn’t on your side.
Now I help women feel strong, capable and confident in their bodies, inside and out.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I feel so energetic now after Niki helped me with her immense knowledge of Exercise and Nutrition. She started with simple exercises to strengthen my core after a C-section. Her entire workout and nutrition plan was focused on what results I wanted. Her diet plan is very helpful and nutritionally balanced. I was suffering from back pain and its completely gone now, Niki specially designed and modified the exercises and stretches for me to be able to do without hurting my back. By just following her plan I lost 15 lbs in just 2 months. She is an amazing person and very professional. My best wishes that she will continue to give her assistance for all those who needs a positive change in their lives!! -

Before training with Niki I was not at a weight I was happy with and I wasn't as toned/fit as I wanted to be. I had no idea how to get started! After I found Niki, I knew that the services she was offering was just what I was looking for, and for a great price too! Being motivated to workout and be consistent was a huge struggle but Niki definitely kept me on track and working towards my goals. She was so great with curating a workout plan that suited my needs and was able to provide modifications when needed. I loved that I had the opportunity to do one to one training which was what I was looking for. From the personal training I hoped to learn proper form to do workouts at home and in the gym to attain my goal of a tighter tummy, bigger glutes, and stronger upper body. Now that Niki has helped me improve my form and taught me different workouts to do at home and in the gym, I have been starting to workout independently and I feel great! My body is making its way to where I want it to be, and Niki continues to be a huge support and motivation for me to my goal.

I was in pain a lot in my body due to breast cancer treatments and medication . Very hard to walk , go up and down using the stairs. I was looking to a way to improve my mobility and find your personal service training while I’m searching the web . So I decided to try it knowing that the exercise will be customized for me It is very good experience, I enjoyed working out with Niki. I have better mobility for sure and also learned how to stretch the area in my body that is very stiff. Chair yoga is also very good in relieving some stress. It was great to work with her. I learned so much, and was able to become more mobile and had lost weight too!
