Bobbie Novak
Welcome to the Fitness Tailor Made website! I'm Bobbie Novak, a certified personal trainer since 1992, and I hold a B.S. degree in Human Nutrition with honors (RD Equivalent) from ASU. My journey into fitness and nutrition began early, starting with my childhood passion for ballet and a penchant for healthy choices.
If you've struggled with weight loss, strength gain, muscle tone, revving up your metabolism, or battling body image and pain issues, I invite you to read on. My lifelong mission is to guide people towards holistic health, a lesson I learned through personal experiences. I realized that it's not just about eating right or working out; it's the synergy between exercise and nutrition that truly leads to lasting results. This is why I do what I do - Fitness Tailor Made, just for you.
As a child, I was incredibly active and academically inclined. Hip and back pain plagued me from a young age, but staying active eased the discomfort. Inspired by Rocky, I began running at 12 and weightlifting at 13 after being told I was too big for ballet. This triggered a turbulent relationship with food, leading to secret binge-purge cycles and a distorted self-image. I believed my worth hinged on others' opinions of my appearance and grades. Turning vegetarian at 13, I unwittingly worsened my eating habits, gaining unwanted weight.
My life took a significant turn in my second year of college when I ventured into a Nutrition 101 class. The power of education overcame my struggles with body image and food, liberating me from their grip. I delved deep into advanced exercise science, chemistry, and nutrition, eventually earning my B.S. degree. I knew then that I wanted to combine fitness and nutrition and share this knowledge with others. I became the Wellness Coordinator at Home Depot while attending college and took a year-long unpaid internship to become a personal trainer, passing the very first ACE test in Arizona. Today, I'm proud to be among the select group of fitness professionals who continue to make a difference.
So, what sets Fitness Tailor Made apart? My focus is on fat loss and muscle gain, with extensive experience in posture, mobility, core strength, and functional capacity. I don't rely on generic workout templates or dictate your meals. I teach you how to eat and why, providing tools for tracking your nutrition and hand-picking exercises tailored to your unique needs. Your program is created based on your health history, goals, posture, body fat, and other measurements, not a one-size-fits-all template. We discuss nutrition in an empowering way, helping you understand its role in your overall health.
The FDA and the USDA have left many confused about nutrition. I aim to simplify the process, teaching you what's best for your goals, as there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Everything I offer is custom-tailored to you.
If you're seeking a highly personalized training and macro coaching experience from an experienced fitness professional, look no further. I'm available for in-person training in Central Phoenix and virtual training. Once we've established your total body health, we can streamline and adjust your fitness and nutrition programming.

Your journey to better health starts here.
