Exploring Life & Business with Taryn Hansen of Crave Personal Training

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taryn Hansen.

Hi Taryn, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started as a bright eyed 26 year old who was working for a private training studio while going to college and decided helping people was what I was doing daily and I could be more active. I risked my entire savings to open a small 1k sq. ft studio which grew within a year to 3x the studio. I knew I had something no one else had, heart. I immediately dug my feet into the community. Any spare time I had I was giving back to a local charity, meeting people but also being filled up and balanced to what matters. I played a long game as business started out with small margins but as I learned year after year to be a better business owner, leader for my coaches and human for my clients we built a community that was loyal and also understood the investment of personal training. My coaches and I became the best! Taking more certifications and educational classes then any trainers in the area and the brand exploded. During this time my life was also heading in the direction of true love, a proposal, marriage… BUT Covid got us like everyone else. And for me, my husband received a rare cancer diagnoses. Within one year he passed and I thought, “I’ll just lose it all, who cares.” Battling the deepest depression and not knowing how to show up for my clients or coaches. But that is not my nature to give up and I started building myself and my business back brick by brick. A remodel, a revamp of services and expansion to a government contract for a second location, new coaches and serving 50+ clientele. This has been a new and rewarding venture as we truly impact our community through all phases of life. We have been in Huntington Beach for 15 years and we are just getting started!
