It all starts with a smile. Did reading that make your lips curl upward? I hope so, as that's my main goal at Get Lively: Health & Fitness. When you are smiling and feeling good about your life, all the other stuff seems to fall into place. As a health coach, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor, I'm on a mission to help you smile more.
My passion for health and fitness traces back to the 1980s as a young girl jumping along to Jane Fonda videos and begging my mom to wear the gray Flashdance sweatshirt with the cut off neck, but my "work life" initially had different plans.

I've enjoyed several of Jan's courses and can't say enough good things about her and what she offers.
Jan teaches her clients to listen to their body to create the best lifestyle for themselves, through diet, exercise and mindfulness. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude is infectious and encouraging.
After Jan's 12 week Lifestyle Program Íve increased my water intake, cut way back on carbs, added a lot more veggies, have very little sugar,
increased my exercise, take more time for myself and lost 10 pounds. The best part of all that is that Jan taught me how to kickstart a healthier lifestyle

Jan Taylor is definitely in the business she was born to be in! A true natural at understanding how food and fitness play into our lives & mindset and how each and every one of us has the ability to feel amazing and maximize our own deep potential. It is there and she will help you find it!! If you are looking for motivation, direction, inspiration or kicking it up a notch I highly recommend Get Lively. We have benefited from the Get Lively way and advice for years and are very grateful!

I participated in the Get Lively Lifestyle program. It was 12 weeks long and each week had a different focus on how to live a healthy lifestyle. We learned some "hacks" so if you're in a rush to make dinner you have things you can grab and eat. We spent some time looking at our own habits and how to warp them into "healthy" habits. I've continued with some of the hacks I learned and the habits I tweaked and am much more conscious of my lifestyle choices! There is a group component which was key especially during some of the days/weeks when I was waning in my commitment. Jan's suggestions were right

I've just finished Jan Taylor's Lifestyle program and I can't recommend it enough. In the past, I've struggled with an "all or nothing" mindset in regards to improving my health. The old "if you can't give it 100% don't bother" and as a result I so often would set unattainable goals for myself and then fail. The Lifestyle program taught me how to tackle common challenges in concrete ways and did so in an environment of humor, support and relatability. Check it out, you won't regret it!

I stopped working out for years and didn't know how to get back in it. I took one of Jan's classes with a friend (after a lot of convincing) and was instantly hooked! Jan is such positive energy that she makes her classes exciting and FUN! Her classes are hard enough that I'm sore for days after... but not too hard that I don't want to ever go back. It's the perfect balance. I now work out 3 times a week with Jan and I'm looking forward to her bumping up her class schedule!!

I started with Jan at Get Lively about 3 months ago. I have struggled with my weight for years and would try to do group classes at other places or work out on my own and I couldn't help but think everyone was watching me. I felt like I couldn't do the exercises in the classes and I felt embarrassed that people were watching me or judging me (even if they aren't, we all feel like that sometimes) Working out on my own or at home was very inconsistent and unsuccessful it is so hard to get up, get dressed and push yourself to do things. During Quarantine I realized things were getting bad, I didn

I have been taking exercise classes from Jan for a few years and I know her to be a fun, high energy, engaging coach. If Jan is teaching the class, I’m looking forward to taking it. Last month I signed up for a 30-day workshop that Jan offers called Get Lively 30. The basic idea of the seminar is to help you jettison bad habits and incorporate good habits. In particular, I was looking for help with diet and weight loss. Jan’s approach with me was less about a strict diet regimen and more about why I was making the choices to eat what I was eating. I had never looked at my eating habits through

Are you thinking about making a change? You know that feeling right? You've tried every diet and work out craze there is and nothing sticks? I was the same until I found Jan at Get Lively! With Jan it isn't about counting calories and depriving yourself. Jan not only teaches you how to embrace life with joy and balance but sets an example of how to live life with energy and kindness. Working with her is uniquely special and I couldn't recommend her more!

I consider myself so lucky to have been introduced to Jan and her classes, through a friend, a number of years ago. What I love about Jan‘s classes is that she keeps things Interesting, and she keeps things moving… Though I have been in her classes for years, we never repeat the same exercise routine! Jan is friendly, upbeat and motivating and makes people of all levels of fitness feel comfortable in her classes. She helps with modifications with each exercise so that people of all can participate. Jan keeps the music pumping, and classes feel fun. I always feel great leaving Jan’s classes
