TAMS ● Tami J. Anastasia, M.A.

“Everyone has the ability to make exercise a habit; regardless of their age,size, shape, or fitness level. The key is tapping into a person’s unique individual needs, limitations, and preferences. When we let go of trying to conform to cultural ideals and standards that work against us, we develop exercise habits we can live with,” says author of Toward A Magnificent Self, Tami Anastasia.

Anastasia has been involved in the health and fitness industry since 1967, when her father opened the first of their five health clubs in Northern California. With nearly a lifetime in the fitness industry, Anastasia experienced first hand the cultural pressures and demands to be thin and developed an addiction to exercise that put her health in jeopardy. She had to stop exercising altogether and for three years struggled to make exercise a habit and part of a healthy lifestyle. Through her struggles, she realized the connection between the mind and body.

Earning a master’s degree in counseling, Tami merged the two disciplines of counseling and personal training to form her own business called TAMS — Toward A Magnificent Self, located in Los Gatos, California. She specializes in working with people who struggle to make exercise a habit, feel they’re out of shape, have special medical needs, and/or suffer from chronic pain.

It is with years of personal and professional experience that Anastasia wrote Toward A Magnificent Self, an inspirational book that restores your faith and confidence in yourself, your body, and exercise.

Anastasia is a frequent speaker at professional and community organizations, she also conducts workshops and lectures at health and wellness conferences, high-tech companies, local schools, and support groups. She has been a guest on local television and radio shows. She is the author of numerous health and fitness articles. Tami is also a member of IDEA, the International Association of Fitness Professionals.
