Meet Tara Heston

Tara is a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast, with basketball as her lifelong passion. Along the way, injuries became part of her journey, making many traditional workouts painful. But Tara couldn’t imagine going a day without moving her body—and that’s when she discovered Pilates. Pilates didn’t just make working out enjoyable again—it made it painless.

 

Her passion for movement led her to pursue a comprehensive path in fitness: she earned her NASM Personal Training certification, completed over 500 hours of comprehensive Pilates training at Club Pilates, and expanded her expertise with certifications in TRX, Kettlebells, Percussive Therapy, Corrective Exercise, and Sound Bath.

 

Tara’s approach to teaching is fun, athletic, and safe. Having navigated her own injuries, she prioritizes form, alignment, and individualized modifications so every session is both effective and accessible.

 

Why DualCore Fitness?

After years in the industry, Tara was ready to create a workout experience that truly delivered. She noticed a common problem: while high-intensity and functional training were excellent for burning calories and improving fitness, many classes lacked proper form, individualized attention, and safe progression. Meanwhile, her Pilates clients experienced incredible benefits—stronger global and stabilizing muscles, core support, improved posture, and reduced back pain—but often didn’t see the full results they wanted.

 

DualCore Fitness was born to solve this problem. It’s a fusion of three powerful modalities: FHIT (Functional High-Intensity Training), Reformer Pilates, and Sound Bath.

With DualCore, you get the strength, mobility, and performance benefits of FHIT, the stability, posture, and injury-prevention benefits of Pilates, and the restorative, recovery, and mind-body balance benefits of Sound Bath.

 

Tara believes in balance. While FHIT is powerful, it’s not meant to be done every day. Pilates can be practiced daily to strengthen and protect the body, while Sound Bath helps restore, reset, and recharge both body and mind. DualCore Fitness allows each member to create a personalized mix, building strength, enhancing wellness, and delivering real results—without burnout.

 

This is why DualCore Fitness is one of the best, most effective and most efficient workouts around!
