Unlikely Hikers 01: Tasheon Chillous

The live show airs every Tuesday at 5pm pst. Join us: jennybruso.com/podcast Our debut episode features, Tasheon Chillous! Tasheon is a plus-size Personal Trainer and Coach located in Tacoma, Washington. The lack of diversity in the fitness industry pushed her to pursue movement as a career instead of a hobby. She believes that movement does not have to be about changing a number on the scale or measurements and instead practices a HAES (Health At Every Size) and size-inclusive approach. She loves creating programs for people who want to improve their strength and confidence with functional and intuitive movement. In 2019, she created BOPOMO, a Body Positive Movement class specifically for plus-size, fat-identified, people of color and queer folks of all abilities to find joy and empowerment through movement. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she began offering classes online. Tasheon is also a self-described Unlikely Hiker. She didn't really understand why people would climb mountains until 2017 when her brother died and hiking became a way to process her grief.
