Greetings my people! I’m Dalton Taylor, one of the newest Crossfit coaches at Ambrose. The basics of my personality include but are not limited to; coffee addict black coffee of course, + world traveler + Cook + brother + lifetime student + Coach.

When I found fitness and weightlifting in 2018 I had a small background in dance, rugby, and singing. Yes, I used to be a choir boy.  Fitness has always been a struggle for myself because of being blind in my left eye and partially in my right. When I started college I placed myself in an environment that forced me to learn to be healthy and develop my fitness goals. Becoming a coach, first in cycling and barre led me deeper down the rabbit hole where I then became certified and a coach in Olympic lifting, kettlebell, general strength training, and Crossfit. You may ask Dalton what’s your coaching style? Well there’s a great deal of sarcasm and dad jokes involved, but when the time comes we get down to business quickly. And if necessary use the trauma as fuel for the work out. There is however a time to push in a time to pull back within fitness training but as well in life. Work and rest work in cohesion to sustain a healthy life. As a coach I emphasize balance more than anything in fitness but is well in life to establish and maintain a life worth living.

Enough about health and wellness what about my likes and dislikes? I love all kinds of food; Indian food, Thai food, burgers, Mexican food, pizza. If it's edible I will most likely eat it. Favorite animal is a bear with my favorite season being fall because I get to wear flannels and boots. I greatly enjoy reading the news. When I got my degree in Public Health from UNR I specialized in Policy. I love reading about what is going on in the world with other people's health on an individual and community basis, and then seeing how I can help make my community better and stronger. Finally, I love being an early riser. I am up and at ‘em 4 AM sharp most mornings because it is never too early in the day to start the hustle.

I’m always here if you guys need anything regardless if it’s to work out or chat about life. Just give me a shout in person or on social media whenever you wish. Follow me on IG @99daltonct. See ya later alligator.
