“I am 52 years old and was beginning to blame my lack of strength, fatigue, and heart burn on getting older. After committing to Tatum's nutrition and workout plan, in 6 months I lost 30 lbs, my cholesterol dropped 60 points, triglycerides back to normal, and testosterone went from 265 to 585. Life changing.”

“As a professional athlete, I was genuinely impressed with his depth of knowledge and attention to detail. Tatum took the time to truly assess me, identifying both my strengths and the areas where I needed the most development. I was able to reach my goals while also creating a stronger foundation for continued growth.”

“We went to Take5athletics hoping to find strength and agility support for our 12 year old baseball player. We got even more than we expected. Tatum is incredibly knowledgeable. After an initial assessment, Tatum built an individual plan to strengthen specific areas our son was struggling with. Tatum was able address problem areas other specialists had neglected. I strongly recommend Take5athletics for any athletes, especially young athletes.”

“My 14 year old son, Jacob, has been training regularly with Tatum for about 8 months. He has noticed an increase in speed, strength, and agility in all of his sports. He can hit the baseball harder and farther, run faster, is overall quicker and more explosive in all aspects of his various sports. The mental side of working with Tatum has helped him push through tough moments and stay focused on his goals. I would definitely recommend Tatum to young athletes looking to maximize their potential.”

“Training with Tatum is an incredibly beneficial experience. As a professional soccer player, it’s hard to know who to trust and how to make yourself better in a short amount of time. Tatum truly reassures you through his knowledge, effort and care as he tailors each and every workout. Keep up the great work Tatum!”

“I’ve had an outstanding experience with Take5Athletics and Coach Tatum, who also leads the HVVC volleyball club strength program. His expertise, attention to detail, and sport-specific training approach are exceptional. Every session is intentional and tailored to build strength, improve movement, and elevate on-court performance. His experience with competitive athletes is clear in how he develops and supports them. Highly recommend Take5Athletics for athletes seeking a true competitive edge.”

“Tatum is a very knowledgeable, fun to train with, and works with you to find the lifts that work for your body. I used to have pain in my knees, especially when squatting, but Tatum figured out some alternative techniques and now I am able to squat without knee pain. Plus as an added benefit, my knees are no longer bothering me in my everyday activities. Highly recommended!”

“Tatum is by far the best personal trainer I've had. His explanations, demonstrations, and focus on correct form resonated perfectly with my goals to maintain strength and fitness in my retirement.”

“Full disclosure, I’m close friends with his wife, and she’s the reason I first walked through the door. I’m glad I did. The gym itself is exceptional. Top quality equipment throughout, and a private, unhurried space to actually work. But the programming is what sets Take5 apart. Everything he writes is thoughtfully structured and genuinely tailored, so if there’s a specific area you want to develop, he builds around it rather than handing you something off the shelf. And he clearly loves what he does. Talk to him for five minutes about training and it’s obvious how much thought he puts into it, and how much he wants people to reach their potential, whether they’re a young athlete or someone starting later in life. If you want a coach who takes your goals seriously, I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“I’ve been training with Tatum at Take5 Athletics, and it’s been an awesome experience. He’s a great coach who knows how to push you while making sure you’re improving the right way. Every workout has a purpose, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping people reach their goals. I’ve noticed real improvements in my strength, movement, and overall confidence since I started training. The environment is positive, motivating, and makes you want to keep showing up. I always leave feeling like I got better. I highly recommend Tatum and Take5 Athletics if you’re looking for a coach who truly knows what he’s doing.”

“Couldn't ask for a better strength and conditioning coach. I've been training here for two months in preparation for military enlistment and have already noticed significant changes in my functional fitness and athletic ability. It's not just about training while you're there — it's about coaching you so you can keep chasing goals on your own.”

“Amazing trainer, really focuses on what’s best for you and your goals! Very professional and dedicated to wanting the best for his clients. Has a very positive attitude.
