Meet Your Trainer

---

Tandy has been in the fitness industry for over 13 years and is a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach! She also is cancer-fitness trained, which is a very personal thing to her. She started out training fitness classes, along with teaching youth cooking classes and Couch to 5K, for the Bastrop YMCA. Following her time with the Bastrop YMCA, she became a trainer for Camp Gladiator and brought it to the Bastrop area. Through the years working with Camp Gladiator, she helped build a thriving and encouraging community of amazing people and trainers in Bastrop County that she is extremely proud of! After over 7 years with CG, Tandy was diagnosed in late 2020 with breast cancer. She took a hiatus from training others to focus on healing from all of the treatments and the many surgeries that followed. After fully getting back on her feet, many of her former clients were repeatedly requesting for Tandy to start training programs again in Bastrop. In the Fall of 2024, she decided she was ready to get back to it and that is when TF Brand Fitness and Nutrition was born!

Tandy is blessed with a loving and supportive husband, Stephen. She is also a mother to two adult sons, and an amazing daughter-in-law! Her oldest son is currently working full time while getting his master's degree from Texas A&M University (WHOOP!), and her youngest son is an active-duty Marine. A prouder mother cannot be found! She is also a proud Aggie with a degree in Animal Science ('00). 

Tandy loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen with foods that not only meet nutritional needs, but also fill the belly AND the soul! She believes in balance and that no food is off limits, unless you are allergic to it! Tandy and Stephen love to spend time on the water paddling, going on hikes and exploring nature, playing in the world of photography, and enjoying time with family! First and foremost of importance in her life, though, is the Lord Jesus Christ! This is her most cherished relationship, one that hopefully filters and spills into ALL of the important relationships in her life, including as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and trainer/coach!
