Taylor Calamese is the founder and creator of Image Devotions. She is a native of Charlotte, NC and earned her bachelor’s degree at Winston-Salem State University in Sport Management.

Taylor spent ten years competing in track and field, and four years competing in cross-country. The inspiration to start her own health company was formed from her years of running, as well as her struggles with her own health and self-confidence issues throughout high school.

In 2011, the formative stages of Image Devotions began to develop from Taylor’s passion of wanting to help females to look and feel their best. In addition to that, Taylor is an ACSM certified personal trainer who has worked with overweight and obese adolescents, senior adults, running clubs and with the School Nutrition Association of North Carolina.

Currently, Taylor is pursuing her Masters at East Carolina University in Physical Activity Promotion, which is the study of how to motivate individuals to be physically active. She also instructs group fitness classes at the university, as well as Lifetime Fitness and Physical Activity courses. In addition, Taylor is  an employee of Pitt County, where she leads group fitness classes with senior adults and school administrators.

This summer, Taylor works as a fitness instructor and personal trainer at Wellspring La Jolla in beautiful San Diego, CA. Wellspring is one of the leading weight loss camps in the nation dedicated to promoting physical activity and improved health in each of its campers.
