About Coach Talia

From spotlight to squat rack: Talia found her path to coaching after studying Musical Theatre at New York University, where she learned that presence, discipline, and timing translate seamlessly to athletic performance. Talia originally built her foundation in kettlebells, earning certifications through HKC, RKC, and StrongFirst Levels 1 & 2. 

Talia’s coaching is informed by lived experience. Having lost 80+ pounds on her own fitness journey, she believes in strength and fitness being safe and accessible for every body, and that any goal is achievable through consistency, programming, and genuine curiosity.  Such a mindset has led Talia to explore alternative training modalities such as Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and pole dancing, and led to accomplishments such as running the Rosebowl Half Marathon and Los Angeles Marathon in 2025/26.  

Homing in on the world of iron, Talia is beyond excited to be coaching with High Voltage Fitness. She’s ready to help you claim the squat rack and get after your goals.  Equipped with certifications in USAW Level 1, SafeSport, and CPR/AED & First Aid, Talia blends technical precision with practical progressions, meeting athletes where they are and guiding them toward sustainable, confidence-building results.  

Talia accepts no liability for the high kicks, splits, or toe touches that may erupt when you set a PR. Former theater kid. The body remembers.
