Tara Romero
Tara is a small town California girl from the Central Valley. She's the mother of three children ages 15, 10, and 8.
Tara is the owner of Made Fit by Tara, Certified Personal Trainer, Health Coach, Licensed Cosmetologist and SAHHM (stay at home homeschooling mom). She attributes her appreciation for witnessing beauty and transformation to leading her to wear many hats. Whether it's changing a hairstyle, one's physique, increasing knowledge or changing one's point of view, she's passionate about helping others become their personal best.
When she's not leading a workout or teaching her kids, you'll find her at a local Mexican restaurant (because tacos are life), visiting a museum, hiking, or dancing to live music. Tara is proud to be a contributor for the Ventura County Mom Collective. "I hope to encourage more women to honor their bodies and use their personal gifts, so that collectively, we can make a greater impact in this world."
