Gillis and Tarryn, the owners of GT Nutrition Performance, met when they were both serving active duty in the Navy. After getting to know each other, they quickly realized they both had a passion for helping individuals get in shape and feel better about themselves.

Upon honorable discharge from the Navy, they knew they wanted to get serious about helping others, so they decided to pursue their degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics. As they got more involved in their studies, they were eager to start applying their knowledge so they contacted the head of the veteran’s program at the university, and presented him with an idea. Together, they developed the Wellness for Warriors program. Within this program, Gillis and Tarryn not only helped train veterans, but educated them on the importance of nutrition while providing them with ways to cope with any issues related to trauma they may have experienced while serving in the military.

After they earned their BS in Nutrition and Dietetics, Gillis and Tarryn wanted to take their education to the next level by bridging nutrition and exercise science together. They both earned their Master’s in Exercise and Nutritional Sciences, and shortly after they began their coaching business, GT Nutrition Performance.

Gillis and Tarryn’s main goal with GT Nutrition Performance is to debunk the various “diet myths” that are out there today, and reeducate clients on a sustainable and optimal way to achieve their goals without feeling like they are a prisoner to a “diet.” 

​The beauty of working with GT Nutrition Performance is that you are getting two coaches for the price of one – this is what makes them a unique duo. By having two different people, with two different approaches come together and develop a plan for you, you’re getting a program that was developed and looked at from every angle, therefore, you’re getting the best of both worlds!
