Tammy Parkinson CPT ACSM, NASM and Nutritionist has consulted hundreds of clients towards body fat loss, eating for energy, sports performance and eating for health (i.e., lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and controlling diabetes).Tammy believes there isn’t a “perfect” diet which fits every person. In fact, each person is so different in their lifestyle, needs, habits, likes, dislikes, belief systems and goals that to best help a client reach his or her goals, first Tammy needs to understand how they live and what their nutritional habits are like. It’s only from that foundation that a person can understand what habits to change and what habits to add in, for life. This begins with an analysis and evaluation.Each analysis begins with a 7 day food diary and nutritional questionnaire, followed by an in depth analysis given by Tammy to each client. Strategies are then created on an individual basis with accountability programs.
Tammy speaks throughout the Bay Area about health, wellness and weight loss with “wellness and quality of life” being the foundation for happiness. She also writes for several Nationally known companies and is a published author of “101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health” If you would like her to be a contributing editor, please contact her at tammy@mybodyfirm.com

Some Testimonials
From the first time I spoke with Tammy, I felt confident that I would reach my goals for weight loss, nutrition, conditioning, and overall good health! Tammy has delivered on all categories. Only a few weeks into the program, I’m already almost halfway to my weight loss goal, my nutritional deficiencies have been cut down to almost nil, and I’m eating a healthy diet and taking good supplements. We have set out a fitness program to prepare for my first full marathon in a few months (and possible future Triathlon?). Overall, my energy level is up and I feel so good! Tammy is very knowledgeable on so many levels of nutrition, recipes, meal planning, and making good choices while dining out. My favorite activity in the program was the personal grocery shopping trip where Tammy showed me what to choose, what to avoid, how to read labels, etc. It was very eye opening and has helped me make better, more informed decisions at the grocery store! I am looking forward to the future with Tammy and Body Firm…you’re the best!

I am a long-time customer of Body Firm, and have been impressed with Body Firm’s personal training and nutrition management services. I have also utilized and been equally impressed with their on-site partners at Symmetry Injury Care and Sports Performance Center. Body Firm’s staff is unique in their extensive expertise, innovative techniques and commitment to evolve their approach as their industry and customers have evolved.
I am an active runner and consistently participate in 5, 10, and 12k races. In 2009, my health and fitness were good, but I wanted to improve in both areas and lose weight. My personal trainer, Scott Adams, suggested that I have my Resting Metabolic Rate checked (another great service from Body Firm) and that I utilize a phone app to track my calories and fitness activities on a daily basis. I have been amazed at my weight lost results as Scott pushed me to own my weight lost program. He also partnered with me by directing my physical activities, advising me on daily total calorie goals and recommending good foods to eat to maintain a balance between protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
I continued my training and started losing weight, but this was all interrupted in 2010 when I had a serious back injury. My recovery took a year and I questioned whether I would be able to continue my active lifestyle in the future. I was very concerned that my injury would have a negative impact on my good heath, conditioning and weight lost accomplishments. Body Firm has a unique business model that provides nutrition management, personal training and sports injury and performance therapy. This provided the opportunity for my personal trainer and the sports injury performance therapy doctor, Dr. Capobianco to work together to provide an incredibly effective recovery program. My personal trainer pushed me continue losing weight, while working on the new rehabilitation program which focused on flexibility, strength, endurance and physical therapy for my back. Over a 2-year period I lost 35 pounds. As a result, my flexibility, strength and endurance are now at an all-time high level. I have also had my best times in over a decade in both my 5k and 12k runs in this year. What is most amazing to me is that I’m doing this at 60 years old!
Body firm’s integrative model of personal training, nutritional counseling and physical therapy were the keys to my recovery and improved performance. I give Body Firm my highest recommendation

I am a 48 year old pre-diabetic woman with a slow thyroid. Nice! With the combination of training with Nikki Busch and nutrition counseling with Tammy Parkinson, I feel better than ever. My blood sugars and A1C are now normal, I’m stronger and more toned than ever, and I feel great! My work-outs are never boring, and Tammy has been extremely helpful and informative. Especially with my resistance to giving up bread and wine! Of course, once I really listened to her, the pounds started dropping right off. The majority of my work with Tammy has been by telephone. It’s extremely convenient and really helps keep me on track. I’ve had the opportunity to work with almost all of the trainers at Body Firm and had a great work out every time. It really is a group effort and makes all the difference in the world. If you have been losing and gaining the same five to ten pounds for what seems like forever, I highly recommend that you work with Tammy and any of the trainers at Body Firm. You’ll be glad you did!

Hi, my name is Jill I’m writing a testimonial, because of my incredible epiphany while spending time with Tammy a couple of weeks ago.
Tammy has been encouraging me to eat a plant-based food plan for years. It fell on deaf ears, ’cause I did not want to give up fast food and sweets. Did I know that those were not healthy choices? Of course I did, but………… When I was threatened with meds for high cholesterol and blood sugar, was over feeling tired and depressed, and completely fed up with being overweight (we’re talking 35-40 lbs, not those pesky 5 to 10 lbs), the emotions finally caught up with the intellect and I was ready to go for it! It was so easy, it’s amazing that I protested so much. The results have been transforming. I’ve lost 8 lbs, the bloating, fatigue, depression, and I’m off anti-depressants and blood pressure meds. I know, I sound like a televangelist (if you only knew me, you’d be laughing)! Remember…this has only been 2 weeks! The other factor in this transformation has been daily exercise. You knew that was coming, didn’t you! I’m going to be 74 in November, so we’re not talking marathon bike rides and the like. So far, I’m just walking 30 minutes a day (with some hills) and I really enjoy it. For the present, I’ll just work at increasing the length of the walks and, perhaps, expand my venues later on.
I’m eternally grateful that I was finally ready to do this. Without Tammy, it never would have happened. She and her trainers inspire me… I hope that my story will inspire someone else, especially someone my age, not to EVER give up!!
