*Our office accepts out-of-pocket as our primary method of payment. If your HSA/FSA includes dietitian services, we can also accept HSA/FSA funds. Many HSA/FSA providers require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from a referring physician or provider for dietitian services. We are also able to provide a superbill after out-of-pocket payment has been made.

Superbills can be submitted to insurance providers for reimbursement of out-of-network care if the insurance provider offers coverage for out-of-network dietitian services for eating disorder care. If your provider covers these services, they will reimburse you for payment made to Gamechangers at Western.

Kind Words:

  • "Take it from me, this program is the bomb!"

    The latest gem that I have had the pleasure of working with is Tad Taggart and the Performance Nutrition Program. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about foods, supplements and the how the human body works down to its cellular level, he’s also an amazing motivator. You get recipes, ideas for healthier food substitutions, information on how certain foods affect the body, snack ideas and most importantly, how to become a healthier human being. This is no cookie-cutter program, it’s tailored to each individual. I’m not the type of person to brag up anything unless I feel that it’s worthwhile. Take it from me, this program is the bomb!

    — Mindy S.

  • "More consistent and be more purposeful with my nutrition."

    “The performance nutrition coaching with Tad has been extremely helpful in my fitness training and goals. I’ve implemented some key strategies and have been able to stay more consistent and be more purposeful with my nutrition. Tad’s knowledge and insight is very valuable. Would highly recommend Tad’s coaching to anyone that wants to level up their health and fitness."

    — KEVIN L.

  • "We’re always learning."

    “Tad is very knowledgeable, and his knowledge has a firm scientific basis. I never raised a subject that he wasn’t very familiar with. What I appreciated as well was his perspective that nutritional science doesn’t lead to absolute truth. We’re always learning, and Tad has a solid understanding of the weaknesses as well as the strengths of the current research in the field. Working with him has been a rewarding experience. I’m very glad I made the decision to do so.”

    — FERGUS H.

  • "I am beginning to live a life no longer afraid of food."

    What I never expected when meeting with Tad, was his ability from the beginning to ask all the right questions. He got me thinking about nutrition in a much deeper way. I have had a life long struggle with body image and a diet mindset. Tad has pushed me to look inside to really confront my personal obstacles and unhealthy lifelong habits. I am beginning to live a life no longer afraid of food.

    —MELISSA L.

  • "My true happy place and I'm forever grateful"

    As someone who was just starting her fitness journey I was terrified of the idea of a gym. Then I joined Western. This isn't just a gym. I have never once felt judged and have always been greeted with such supportive and amazing people who work there. It's become my true happy place and I'm forever grateful

    —JAMIE B.

  • "Best is to go check it out!"

    First of all it is spacious, well lit and clean. Locker rooms are top notch. So many programs and classes to keep you from getting bored and are fun. I have especially enjoyed the personal training that is available. They have a cafe and nutrition bar. There is just so much to mention. Best is to go check it out!!!

    — TAMMY C.

  • "You walk into the facility a staff member greets you."

    When you walk into the facility a staff member greets you. If you have questions or concerns, they are answered professionally and effectively. The overall look inside is inviting and clean. If you have a personal trainer experience - they do not judge or pressure you. The machines are up-to-date. I felt the members themselves were in a good mood, they had smiles and said hi.

    — MARY G.

  • "Absolutely love this gym!"

    Absolutely love this gym! The atmosphere, the endless equipment available, the prices, the people... top notch. I'd recommend this wonderful workout facility to anyone and everyone. Completely addicted to this beautiful place!

    — ANGEL S.

  • "Western Racquet is literally the BEST gym out there!"

The staff is also always very welcoming and willing to help anyone in anyway they can. If you’re looking for a gym, Western Racquet is definitely a place to consider.
