Fitting Fitness Into Life: Taj Davis
Taj Davis, a dedicated fitness enthusiast and professional, has been a proud owner of PRx Performance equipment for the past four years. He equipped his home gym with a PRx Profile Pro Rack (V1), PRx bumper plates, barbell storage, a dip attachment, dip storage, and a medicine ball. Taj invested in a home gym because he wanted to maintain consistency during the pandemic.
Owning a home gym has improved Taj’s life, especially with his busy schedule as a school teacher and professional musician. The convenience of having a gym at home means he is always just seconds away from a workout. That makes it easier to fit fitness into his daily routine. This setup has allowed him to stay on top of his fitness goals without the constraints of gym hours or commute times.
Taj advises anyone considering a home gym to take their time and not rush the process. “You do not have to get everything at once!” he says, emphasizing that building a home gym can be a gradual process. His main reason for fitting fitness into his life is to remain strong and healthy for both himself and his family.
Taj’s fitness journey began in 2012 during his last year of grad school. A pivotal moment came when his father was diagnosed with diabetes and told him about the family medical history. This revelation motivated Taj to get into fitness. The physical and mental results and encouragement from friends and family kept him motivated to keep going.
Like many others, the COVID-19 gym closings created challenges for Taj. Initially, he started working out with bands, a bench, and an adjustable dumbbell set. While this setup helped him stay consistent, he wanted to match the rigor of his pre-pandemic workouts.
It wasn’t until he discovered a video of PRx on YouTube that he realized the potential of a garage gym. This led him down a research rabbit hole, ultimately investing in his own home gym equipment.
Despite his success, Taj still faces challenges in his fitness journey, primarily wanting more time to work out. Balancing his weekday job as a school teacher with his weekend tours as a musician can be demanding. However, Taj has developed a system that works for him, ensuring that he makes time for his workouts. He continues to look for ways to improve and optimize his routine.
Fitness is a core part of Taj’s life, and his home gym plays a crucial role in helping him maintain a healthy lifestyle. His journey inspires people looking to fit fitness into their busy lives. He proves that with determination and the right setup, it’s possible to achieve your fitness goals.
