 "I started Bootcamp at the age of 53, after years of walking & trail hiking, with little to no upper body strength, and pre-existing knee and hip conditions. Tiazza helped me to modify her extremely challenging workout so that I could get stronger gradually, without hurting myself. It's a delicate balance, but I have gotten much stronger – and for the first time this year I ran more than I walked during a half-marathon! I have many more goals ahead of me, but Tiazza encourages and pushes while letting us work at our own (safe) pace. I look forward to being in better condition with every month I continue to attend – and I love the friends that I have made here!" Jana

"A year and a half ago I began attending Tiazza’s boot camp. I had mentioned to my girlfriend that I wanted to strengthen my core, and take fitness to the next level; she said she knew just the ticket. I quickly realized that surviving the workout came first; after a year I could truly challenge it. Tiazza urges participants to push themselves, although she also demonstrates an “easy version” for exercises so that everyone can follow, no matter what level they currently occupy. She also keeps it fresh, with variations and constantly changing exercises and routines. I enjoy boot camp, and would encourage anyone who wants to exercise in a supportive and challenging environment to give it a try. My core is stronger, and I am definitely more fit than I have been in years. What have you got to lose…?" David

"When I first moved to Ashland, OR. I was looking for exercise classes I tried a few a the YMCA but none seem to be what I was looking for. A little over two years ago I started boot camp with Tiazza and LOVED it. The work outs are challenging and different every time. Tiazza is the best she keeps you moving and pushes you to do the best you can do. I have become stronger not only physically but mentally. I walk out of Tiazza's class feeling better then ever!" Marylu

"When I turned 50 I realized it was time to make a change in my life. I was 20 plus pounds overweight and my cholesterol hit the high mark. I had never taken an exercise class in my life and for some crazy reason I decided I would try a class called Bootcamp offered by the Park and Rec Department. Here I am, starting my fourth year. I am down almost 20 pounds, my cholesterol is back to normal, I am stronger than I have ever been in my life. Is Bootcamp still hard? You bet it is, but Tiazza's encouragement and the fact that she won't let me give up on myself keep me coming back three times a week. There is so much support in this class and a variety of age groups and fitness levels. Thank you Tiazza! You not only changed my health, you changed my life!" Nancy

"Joining Tiazza's Fitness Bootcamp is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health and personal fitness goals. For years I tried working out at gym's, but never really saw the results I wanted. After just the first month of Tiazza's Bootcamp, I felt stronger. Tiazza does an incredible job of motivating and challenging each person individually depending on their fitness level while still maintaining the energy of whole group. Her coaching style is excellent; pushing you beyond what you thought you could achieve with a positive, supportive attitude. I highly recommend her classes to anyone who really wants to improve their health and fitness." Emily


"I have been overweight for about 4 years and I tried to lose the weight by myself and I did ok but I also didn't push myself the way I need to be pushed until my friend brought me to Tiazza's bootcamp. Let me tell you that if you want to shock your body in a good way, bootcamp is the way to go! I have lost 6lbs in two months but I also have definition in places  that were never defined. Tiazza is a wonderful teacher, she helps people get their bodies they want and feel good about themselves. I will continue taking her bootcamp until she retires! Thank you Tiazza, you are one AWESOME TEACHER!" Anjay


"Recently I was out with my husband and we ended up chatting with an acquaintance. She was inquiring about Boot Camp with Tiazza and asked if I had noticed any changes in my body. Before I could answer my husband interjected a quick and loud "YES". I think that says it all : ) !!" Holly



Tiazza's Boot Camp is the best workout class I've ever taken. It accomplishes the same toning and strength-building as the 3 hrs of step+weights+elliptical I used to do 10 years ago. In 4 months I've lost 22 lbs, 14 inches and 3 sizes. I feel great!  Maylee


Attending Bootcamp has been one of the best decisions I have made!  The challenge of each session has given me strength, endurance and confidence, all while shedding weight.  Tiazza motivates through encouragment and expectation.  Her training and approach creates an environment where success is guaranteed! Donnelle


Tiazza has introduced me to the wonderful world of belly dancing and is showing me that I can ACTUALLY do it. She breaks the moves down into the simplest of steps, shows us how to do them and explains the biomechanics of the movements. She is a gentle and patient teacher and a VERY effective motivator. Belly Dancing with Tiazza has turned out to be a fun way of getting a good workout. Brenda



Tiazza is tough, which means I've gotten results much faster than I would have in a different class or on my own. My clothes fit better and my muscles are toned, but more importantly, I feel much more comfortable with my own body. Every morning workout gives me a sense of accomplishment that's a great start to the day. Kelly

Tiazza’s Fitness Bootcamp in January 2009. I was still carrying around extra weight from my pregnancy and I needed help getting my body back into shape. Bootcamp is by far the hardest workout I have ever done, but the results have been worth it. With exercise and a healthy diet I have dropped weight and several clothing sizes. I am actually smaller than I was before my pregnancy, I have more muscle and I feel great! 

One of the great things about Tiazza is she continues to push you to limits you didn’t know you could reach. Tiazza supplies a fabulous, albeight hard and intense, workout. She also gives tons of support and advice. 

If you are ready to sweat, burn calories, and get into great shape… then this is the class for you. As for me… I can’t wait until my next workout. Rayme


I started Tiazza's Bootcamp class after having attended the Adventure franchise bootcamp class. I was happy with the Adventure class, but the pricing was more than I could afford. When I decided to give Tiazza's class a try, I was expecting something on a par with, or perhaps less strenuous than, the class I had been taking. Tiazza's class was MUCH more intense than the other experience I'd had: her class was probably 50% smaller, so there was probably 50% more one-on-one time, which meant that I worked what felt like 50% harder.

I didn't have much weight to lose, so once I got to Tiazza's class it was more about toning and flexibility for me. I love that Tiazza honors a woman's curves: it's not about being rail-thin, or being able to see bones, musculature, or veins, it's about being healthy and fit, and really, feeling comfortable in your own skin.

Tiazza's is not your run-of-the-mill aerobics class. It is called BOOTCAMP for a really good reason. Imagine what our troops go through to make it into the Armed Forces. Tiazza's class is a lot like that (though only an hour long), but at the end of every class, there's encouragement, advice, camaraderie, and even hugs (sweaty as they may be). Kelly Clary-Lamb


I would recommend Tiazza's women's boot camp!!   If you want to get toned, lose weight and/or want to push yourself to a whole new level, this is the class for you!!  I began Tiazza's boot camp in January, 2009, I have lost weight and I have never seen my body so toned.  Tiazza is a trainer who is dedicated, cares about her clients and has pushed me to levels that I would have never achieved on my own.  If you are ready for a workout, sign up!! Sarah



I am of the 'older' generation invited by a friend to join a free class that was offered
last Thanksgiving.  I have to say I was very leary at my age to join an exercise class with so many of the younger generation.  Tiazza welcomes all with open arms.  I have never felt out of place, slow, or out of my depth.  Tiazza works with all types, ages, and abilities that attend her classes.  She doe so with 'class' and enthusiasm.  I so appreciate the time and support that she has given me.  I was at a point where I had no exercise and was so out of shape.  My balance is improved as is my overall strength.  She makes me strive to achieve so much more than I ever thought I could do.  I have made many friends in this class even tho so many years separate us.  Thank you and thank you for the opportunity, Tiazza!  Marty



"After two babies and four years, my clothes didn't fit, my back was hurting all of the time and I felt like I needed to do something different than just my gym membership. I signed up for Tiazza's boot camp class. The class was never easy but always fun and by the end of the hour, I felt like I had made a great contribution to my well-being. The benefits of the class spilled into the rest of my day, giving me more energy to play with my babies and a sense of confidence. Within a week, I felt my core begin to strengthen and my body begin to change!

Tiazza is an amazing and gifted trainer. During every class, she challenges the most physically fit and sticks with the beginners in the class until they master a new move or meet a goal they didn't think they could meet. Tiazza will welcome you where you are and help you get where you want to be." Allyssum


"The thought of a boot camp fitness class was very intimidating, and I wondered if I would be able to last... The class is demanding but balanced so that you don't exhaust one part of your body too quickly. Working with others at your side, and Tiazza's subtle yet firm encouragement, pushes you to perform at a level that would be difficult to achieve when on your own. I feel like a million dollars every time I leave the class. It makes me feel good about my body in a way that nothing else does. Thank you, Tiazza!" Ellen


"Tiazza's Boot Camp will whip you into shape. Sure it's hard to wake up early in the morning but every time you walk by a mirror you will be startled by how buff you look. After four Boot Camp sessions and only moderate changes to my diet I have lost 22 pounds! No small feat and I feel nothing but gratitude to Tiazza for motivating and guiding me through the process"  Jessica


Tiazza's Boot Camp class rocks! She mixes it up and challenges us so no class is ever the same. Hands down, I'm in better shape than I ever have been! Candy

Tiazza makes you work no matter how many times you want to give up she keeps you positive and working toward your goal. I always feel great when I'm done I gave more energy for the rest of my day. Dana

"Fabulous Fun!  Excellent cardio workouts while enjoying movement and music!" Pam

" I have taken Tiazza's cardio bellydance classes and workshops for the past year, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic new workout!  Tiazza presents dynamic movements, focused instruction, and exciting choreographies to get you up and moving non-stop!  Her classes are a fusion of ancient and modern Middle Eastern music and dance styles, providing variety, challenge, and fun for every fitness level.  I always leave class feeling great, knowing I have had a super overall workout from a dedicated, authentic and very amazing teacher!  Thanks, Tiazza! " Cindra


"Tiazza's classes are high impact, high energy classes packed with fun, laughter and encouragement. Tiazza is one of the most encouraging teachers I have ever met. She will work with you until you 'get it', and will never make you feel incompetent. Anyone could feel successful after taking a class taught by Tiazza. She is a great 'coach'." Charity


"I have been working out in the gym for years but since I took the boot camp with Tiazza, I gained a lot of strength and toned in a short period of time that now my teenage daughter is also taking the bootcamp class" Carla


" I have been in Tiazza's bootcamp off and on for almost a year. she  encouraged me to push myself further than I had ever done on my own. I feel stronger and better than ever before, some of my friends now train with Tiazza as well." Cindy


"If you want to push yourself, try Tiazza's classes. I have taken both her boot camp and kickboxing classes and if there is one thing to say about both, it's what Tiazza always says: this is not your grandma's pilates class!. you will sweat, you will get tired, you will burn calories ... all in a nice encouraging motivating environment." Sara


"my favorite thing about Tiazza's boot camps is that she always changes her workouts or finds ways to make the same workouts a lot harder, you never get bored or stay in a plateau stage for a long time" Hannah


"Love Tiazza's dance choreographies, so energetic, so dynamic and fun" Lisa


"I have been taking the cardio kickboxing class with Tiazza for almost a year now and I love it. It's my favorite hour of the week. she applies real situations to every technique. I also like that we partner up in classes, use gloves and mitts and practice one on one" Kim


"Tiazza cried when her and I first met to talk about my weight issues. she is not just a trainer, she is a great person with a great heart who loves to help others. she trained me hard ... I started riding my bike again ... and when I could not afford to take classes, she welcomed me in her classes at no charge. Thank you Tiazza"
Hannah

"Tiazza will tell you you are weak when you are, you are strong when you are... and that you could always do 10 more pushups when you feel like you can't ... because you can. she is real, her workouts are real, no aerobics, no repetitive easy moves, she will push you hard and it feels good..." Emily


"faster, stronger, give me more, drop down, come on, you can do it, don't cheat, now ready, don't do it the easy way  ... oh I miss those words when I am not in class ... Tiazza is a hardcore trainer" Chelsi

"she is very technical, gives good instructions and very picky about form, I like that" Rachelle

"Tiazza teaches the only practical and non-aerobics type cardio kickboxing class in the valley. her fighting and competing background makes her a great instructor to learn good technique from" Michelle


"I always wanted to take belly dance classes, but always put it off. Now, I am so glad that I started. It the most fun I have ever had exercising. I love the music and the movements. Tiazza is a really great teacher and makes the classes so fun. My six year old daughter comes with me sometimes and she really loves it too. I would recommend it to everyone at every fitness level."

Tiazza's teaching skills, presence. sense of caring, and wonderful talent have been a blessing of an experience.  I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to dance and exercise with Tiazza she's added a lot to my life.  Thanks Tiazza for everything" Julia


"The best thing about Tiazza's classes is that they are fun. Whether we're there for belly dancing or kickboxing, she makes sure that we have a good time while learning to dance or get in shape. She is also a gifted teacher, she knows exactly how to teach complete beginners the first steps of belly dancing or the first phrases of Arabic so they aren't intimidated and her  boot camps are challenging for everyone no matter what kind of physical condition they are in" Sarah


"Tia is the most awesome teacher I have known. She has the most fun and best classes. I learned a lot from her. thanks Tia for being the best" Kandy

Ally

"Tiazza's Belly Dancing class is the best in the valley; good moves, music, and people. It feels more like a party than a fitness class, but you definitely feel the workout the next day. I highly recommend it for beginners, experienced dancers, and anyone looking to get in shape" Anne



Being new to Southern Oregon, I saw a brochure for Tiazza´s belly dancing classes, so I decided to try them out. They were so much fun that it´s weird to think as belly dancing as exercise! Tiazza´s choreography was up beat and I had no idea I was capable of moving my hips in so many directions! Now I can say I have a new hobby and I definitely will attend her classes again! Alaina
