Thinking she would be a lawyer, Tanya got her bachelors and began applying to law schools.
Found herself very overweight and unhealthy so started working out and eating healthy foods.
Became enthused by the health and fitness world and switched career tracks, focusing initially on the fitness aspects.
Started giving fitness classes to friends and family and then began doing local group training classes.
Used her friend’s basement as a location for her classes, but opened her first store-front gym after her friend’s husband complained about the noise.
Opened a second branch, but ultimately closed both branches after they failed to generate real profit.
Switched emphasis from fitness to nutrition, spending the next 10 years as a local nutrition counselor.
Opened her first Nutrition By Tanya branch in Borough Park in 2014, beginning her boom from low-key operations to explosive growth.
Opened more branches across the Tri-State area every few months, growing her business insanely fast to its current state of 10 national branches and a brand new international branch in Jerusalem.
