Joe Tavare – Personal Trainer in Las Vegas –

A Fight Trainer, A Life Coach, A Transformation Mentor: Meet Joe TavareIn the vast landscape of personal development, Joe is a veteran in the fitness world, known for his exceptional ability to guide individuals towards transformation. A passionate fitness and self-development coach with over a decade of experience. He has trained a diverse array of individuals from professional fighters, professional athletes, military members, business executives, high school wrestlers, adults looking to lose weight, and kids development camps.

At heart, he feels he is just like many of you. Joe’s own life journey has been a testament to his resilience and determination. He faced challenges that would have broken most individuals. In the beginning he struggled with weight issues, tipping the scales at 326 lbs. Through dedication and perseverance, he transformed himself and eventually competed at a lean 155 lbs in mixed martial arts. In the peak of his fighting and fitness career, life threw him a curveball: a devastating car accident that severely damaged his L4 & L5 vertebrae left him without being able to walk. This setback could have ended his love for physical fitness, but instead, it pivoted his career. No longer set on just competing, he now dedicates his life to coaching and training others, helping them achieve their best selves both in person and online.

As an NPC Judge and a guru in the art of bodybuilding, he sculpted bodies to perfection. “I keep an all-natural approach focusing on calories, protein, hydration, and individually tailored workouts based on each individual’s needs.” The amount of focus and dedication to training for bodybuilding is very difficult and grueling but also very rewarding. Joe has found that many of his regular clients chose to try a show as a goal after they have trained with him for more than a year because of the results they have gained and never realized could be reached. He also has seen clients use the show as a way to try something new and conquer fear of being in front of others.

Joe’s expertise isn’t just limited to the fitness gym. He’s been honored to train fighters in strength & conditioning, rehabilitation, and fight strategy. Additionally, he’s worked on hand-to-hand combat and jiu-jitsu programs for the military and local police. He has developed approved exercise / stretching routines for office workers as well as provided private jiu-jitsu and self-improvement sessions for business executives in multiple major cities including Seattle, Austin, Tampa and Las Vegas. When it comes to safety, bodyguards and security teams come to him to learn risk mitigation, self-defense, and the art of de-escalation or what’s fondly known as ‘Verbal Judo.’ He’s even been honored to have taught self-defense seminars to police and first responders. One reason he is so versatile and sought after is his approach to training each person based on their unique body type and mental state. Whether it’s for group sessions or one on one, each program is handcrafted based on individual assessments and overall goals, making each a custom personal plan.

Beyond the physical, over the past seven years, He’s expanded his services to encompass self-development and has been referred to as a fixer. While health and fitness remain at the core, he works closely with clients on building self confidence, refining speech patterns, and enhancing body language. He focuses on transforming individuals into leaders, teaching them to command trust and respect from their peers as well as themselves. Together, he helps set goals, carve out milestones, and introduce systems of consequences and rewards, ensuring his clients are as mentally fit in their personal and professional lives as they are in their physical selves.

No matter where you are on your fitness or personal development journey, Joe is here to guide, support, and celebrate with you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this transformational journey together.
