Taylor Hastings
Head Coach at Fort Fitness

Taylor Hastings is the owner, creator, and head coach behind Fort Fitness, a gym built on the belief that fitness should help people live stronger, healthier, and more capable lives. A Hoosier and University of Saint Francis graduate, Taylor has spent more than a decade coaching and working in nearly every role in the fitness industry. But his passion for coaching began with his own experience in the fitness community. The culture, camaraderie, and coaching he found in the gym permanently changed his relationship with fitness and healthy living. He experienced firsthand how the right coaching and community can turn fitness from something you do into a way you live. Taylor saw an opportunity to bring that same impact to more people in Fort Wayne. He wanted to raise the standard of coaching and create a gym where expert coaching, genuine hospitality, and a strong community could help anyone from complete beginners to competitive athletes become more capable in and out of the gym. Today, Taylor leads Fort Fitness with a simple mission: **help people use fitness and healthy habits to live a stronger, longer, and more fulfilling life.**

Because Taylor believes the goal isn’t simply to become better at working out. **The goal is to become better at living and enjoy the process doing so.
