RTC Fitness is home to some of the best group fitness in North Canton, Ohio — and Taylor Zeiger is one reason why.
Every once in a while, someone walks through our doors and you just know — they’re going to fit right in. Taylor Zeiger is one of those people. She came in quietly, got to work, and before long she was one of those faces you genuinely look forward to seeing every day. She shows up consistently, she pushes hard, she laughs easily, and she makes this community better just by being in it. That’s exactly the kind of person we love celebrating here at RTC. Taylor — this one’s for you.
Taylor is coming up on her one-year anniversary at RTC — and if you’ve spent any time in our classes, you’ve probably seen her putting in the work.
She grew up in Malvern and came to fitness the way a lot of athletes do: through sport. Softball carried her all the way through college, and staying active was just part of the deal. But like so many former athletes, when the structure of organized sport faded, so did the consistency.
“Prior to joining RTC, I was in a very inconsistent phase of home workouts and the occasional drop-in class here and there,” she shares. “It wasn’t as easy or simple anymore” once she hit her 30s.
Sound familiar? It’s one of the most common things we hear from new members — and it’s exactly what RTC was built to solve.
Taylor didn’t take long to find her footing here, and she dove into everything — CrossFit, BUILD, BURN, you name it. The variety kept it interesting. The coaching kept it dialed. And the community made it stick.
“I’m obsessed with this place!” she says. “It’s challenged me in a way that makes me want to keep coming back. I’m more consistent and feel stronger than I’ve ever been. I love showing up and having people tell me what to do. It takes the guesswork out of everything!”
That’s the magic of great group fitness coaching — and it’s what separates RTC from a gym membership that collects dust by February. Our coaches show up prepared, the programming is intentional, and you never walk in wondering what you’re doing that day. Taylor felt that immediately.
But it’s not just the workouts that have her hooked.
“RTC has the most supportive group of people and coaches! I love being around like-minded humans. It makes working out so much more fun. This gym has definitely become one of my favorite parts of each day.”
One of her favorite parts of every day. We don’t take that lightly.
When she’s not in the gym, Taylor works alongside her dad and uncle at their family-owned small manufacturing company in Canton South, where they make components for injection molding machines. She’s also the head varsity softball coach at her alma mater — so she knows a thing or two about showing up for a team.
Her family is close-knit and growing. Her mom is a retired kindergarten teacher, and her sister — a speech pathologist in Columbus — recently got engaged. And then there’s Crosby, her six-year-old chocolate lab, who she calls “the sweetest boy ever.”
Fun Facts about Taylor!
Taylor’s story is a good reminder that fitness doesn’t have to be something you figure out alone. After years of inconsistency, she found a place where the structure, the coaching, and the community all clicked at once — and the results followed.
Stronger than she’s ever been. More consistent than she’s ever been. Showing up because she wants to, not because she has to.
That’s what we’re building here every single day.
