Tonya started her own fitness journey over 18 years ago after the birth of her second child. She desperately needed help losing the extra “baby weight,” and she hired a personal trainer to help. After working with her trainer for several months, she learned all about proper diet and exercise and even more about herself as a person. “I became totally hooked on fitness and got inspired to help others adopt healthier lifestyles,” enthuses Tonya. In 2010, she founded Your Personal Best Fitness (YPB).
Tonya holds her personal training certificate from the nationally recognized Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and she is an active member of the Idea Health and Fitness Association.

In 2014, Tonya created and co-produced her own fitness DVD entitled, Toning Your Temple with Tonya Iverson. The DVD offers two fun yet challenging beginner and intermediate workouts. Tonya also presents a simple and practical food and nutrition demonstration. Toning Your Temple with Tonya Iverson is currently sold on Amazon.
In her spare time, Tonya enjoys spending quality time with her kids and family, traveling, going to the movies, reading personal development books and suspense novels.
