About Us

The Schweitzer House of Pain Experience

Hello, Hello, Hello!

Thanks for taking a minute to check out our website, learn about what we do and find out how we can be right for you! Above are some pictures of us! Myself (Tarah), my husband (Dan) and our three kids (Layla, Blake & Max). I am Tarah and I am your Trainer!

Schweitzer House of Pain was established in August 2018. Prior to that I had been teaching at countless studios across NY, NJ, metro Boston, RI & Worcester County for the past 20 years. Yes... I know. TWENTY years. Throughout those years I have met some of the most remarkable people, clients & friends. The connections you make with people when they are at their most vulnerable, 20-burpees-down-and-still-10-to- go, truly is something special. Fitness is a journey, there is no finish line, no end date. Fitness to me, is a lifestyle. It's a way to make time for yourself every day. It's about making the conscious decision to make a better decision. To be the absolute BEST version of yourself. (Click here to read some testimonials!) When I am the best me, I am the best mother, the best wife, the best trainer, daughter, sister, colleague, friend- the list goes on. For me to be able to show up for other people, I first need to show up for myself.

Over the last 20 years, I have taught every style of class under the sun! My most favorite style is a Bootcamp style of teaching. I love to lift weights, I love to run. I. Love. To. Work. Hard. And even when I know I don't need to, I need to!

I am also an avid runner! I have run 11 marathons on 3 continents including: 4 Boston Marathons, 3 NYC Marathons, 1 NH Marathon, 1 Goofy Challenge in Orlando, the Great Wall of China Marathon & The Big 5 Marathon in South Africa. I have competed in many triathlons and two Half Ironman competitions. A countless number of half marathons, 10ks, 5ks and everything in between.

I got married in 2012 and our daughter, Layla, was born in December 2013 followed by Blake in September 2015 and Max in January 2020. Currently I teach about 8 classes a week and those classes start my day off on the right foot. When it's still dark outside and my family is still sleeping, I am up training. Training to be the best version of ME so I can give the best version to YOU! So if you find yourself up before the birds and want to join a virtual class live, give me a shout out! If you are a night owl and like to workout when the sun goes down, those virtual classes are ready whenever you are. Tight on time? Take a 15 minute finisher and feel 15x better than 15 minutes before! I think you get the picture...

Schweitzer House of Pain offers sustainable fitness classes that fit into your life. For your whole life!

Thanks for reading & taking a minute to learn a little bit more about me!
