Tanya “TJ” Johnson
Group Fitness, MixxedFit, and Zumba Instructor/Owner
Biography:
Tanya grew up surrounded by fitness, her father was a former bodybuilding champion in Barbados. Her brothers were stars in track, weightlifting, and basketball, and Tanya herself was a competitive weightlifter and track and field athlete. She has combined her passion for teaching, community, activism, and fitness to create a facility that motivates, encourages, supports, and empowers its members.
Tanya teaches 3B HIIT, Band Camp, Beat Dat Body, Body Sculpt, Butts & Guts, Cardio Kickboxing, Stretch & Tone, Trademarked Tabata, and Zumba throughout the week.
As a first-generation American with Bajan (Barbadian) roots, Tanya has always found music to be her safe space. After moving from New York to Pennsylvania in 2018, she discovered Zumba as a way to exercise without feeling like she was doing intense work. In about a year and a half, she went from a size 24 to a size 14. Naturally full-figured, Tanya made it her mission to show that being full-figured does not equate to being unhealthy.
After earning additional fitness licenses and certifications, she founded AscenDANCE Fitness LLC. Her goal was to build a community—known as the TRIBE—that supports members in discovering stronger, healthier versions of themselves. As the community grew, she evolved AscenDANCE Fitness LLC into Trademarked Fitness, elevating the concept of a healthful journey through group fitness classes in a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment.
Tanya is honored to be part of this journey with the entire TRIBE and looks forward to everyone reaching new heights in fitness and health.
Welcome to the Trademarked Fitness Experience. Your Fitness Safe Space.
