my Story

I built what i wish existed

Mi Tavalo was created to be more than a gym. It’s my way of sharing my passion for health and wellness with others and welcoming you to have a seat at my table, where we all connect, learn, gather and grow.

I am a dedicated member of the Richmond community, and over 30 years in the fitness and fitness related community. This space allows me to share my passion for health & fitness with people from all walks of life, where everyday people train alongside elite sports teams and athletes, all pushing themselves to be better and get to the “the next level”.

As a Dryland Sports Trainer and ex-Fitness competitor, my athletic background includes fitness competitions, training various martial arts since I was a young girl, training jiu-jitsu with the Gracies, being a certified Law Enforcement Instructor and participating in the Cops for Cancer bike tour.

Fitness isn’t about perfection or pressure. It’s about building strength and confidence. It’s about being part of a gym & community that truly cares.

At Mi Tavalo, you’ll find a welcoming open-concept space where everyday people train alongside athletes and sports teams, where everyone is encouraged to move with purpose and intention. Egos left at the door.

This isn’t just a gym. It’s a community.

Welcome you to Mi Tavalo.
