Taylur Avery Shares How We Can All Stay Fit at Home

Meet Taylur Avery, the owner of Floyd Mayweather’s Mayweather Boxing and Fitness Studio in Torrance, CA.

The majority of us remain at home, waiting for the pandemic to die down, and in doing so, it can be challenging to stay active while practicing social distancing.

We spoke to Taylur about some of the ways that we can all remain active while in our homes and how we can still snack and not pile on the pounds!

ShineMyCrown: So when did you first like fall in love with fitness?

Taylur: Well, I’ve always been an athlete, so since I was in second grade, I played soccer. So sports has always been a part of what I do as a student-athlete, and that carried on through college. Jen just stayed with me even after college going into my career.

ShineMyCrown: Right. You said that you’ve always been into fitness, but have you ever struggled with it at all? Like your health or being motivated to be fit? How can you relate to others who struggle with trying to lose weight?

Taylur: I always struggle. I always struggle. It’s constant, every day. Right? So growing up as a student-athlete, it wasn’t really a struggle because there’s your accountability, right? After school, you go straight to practice. It’s a no brainer. It comes natural. You have to go. But then once you get into the real world, there’s nothing to hold you accountable. So for me, I started competing, I did bodybuilding. So that was like one of the first things that I did.

ShineMyCrown: Oh, wow.

Taylur: Yeah. So when I got out of school, that was the one thing that kind of pushed me as motivation to stay in the gym. Because I knew I had to compete. Right. Same for sports. So now that I’m not really competing anymore, it’s definitely a struggle now. And I can relate more to lifestyle clients or people who just want to be in shape because you go to work, and then you’re tired, and you’re like, “ah.” So I have a lot of little life hacks that I do and that I use to make sure that I still get my workouts done.

ShineMyCrown: Okay. You said that you used to do bodybuilding. What made you decide to go into that?

Taylur: So the reason why I started decided to do bodybuilding is because I’m in law enforcement, I’ve been in law enforcement since I got out of college. It was my major. And so when I was in college, I did ROTC. So it was counted the same as being a student-athlete. Right? I knew I had to get up and PT in the mornings at 5:00 AM. That was something that held me accountable. Once I got out, I went to training, and I was working out six days a week, waking up at four o’clock in the morning. So these things helped me accountable. So like I said, once I got out into my real life, and my real career and I don’t have anything to make me work out anymore, I’m like, “what can I do?”

And I turned to bodybuilding because I know that I’m competitive. I’m very type A, and I didn’t even know bodybuilding existed where I lived because I’m from Mississippi. I was in Mississippi at the time. And a girl that I went to school with, her name was Natasha Donald, and she body built. And I followed her on social media, and I just thought it was the coolest thing. And I was like, “I really want to do this,” so that’s kind of how I got into it. And that’s the reason why, because I needed something to be able to hold me accountable. And that’s the reason why I went into bodybuilding.
