UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Tami Turnley, the owner of Ideal Weight Loss Solutions LLC, for expertise in weight loss coaching. With more than 36 years of experience in the health care and wellness industry, she has helped individuals achieve transformative lifestyle changes. With Ideal Weight Loss Solutions, the entrepreneur and certified coach continues to make an impact through personalized weight loss programs.
A Trusted Source for Science-Based Wellness
Ideal Weight Loss Solutions is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based company that provides structured programs using the science-based and medically backed ShiftSetGo protocol to guide clients through their wellness journeys. Since acquiring the business in 2019, Ms. Turnley has established it as a trusted source for health and nutrition services.
After providing clients with an in-depth consultation, Ms. Turnley has them download an app that syncs their scale to her computer. The app tracks key health metrics, including body fat percentage, Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight. "Each week, they come in, I get their weight, I take their measurements, we talk over their previous week and then they receive their food," she says. The service aims to create sustainable and measurable progress.
This method goes beyond just physical transformation. Ms. Turnley's approach emphasizes education, accountability and consistent encouragement. "Do not let fear stop you," she says. "Believe in yourself and have faith that you can overcome anything."
Success Fueled by Bold Choices
Ms. Turnley's entrepreneurial aspirations began at the age of 19 when she launched Tami's Gymnastics in 1989 and successfully operated it for 25 years. The gym's success led her to pause her college studies to meet the growing demands of the business.
Later, Ms. Turnley sold the company to support her then-husband's career. She then went through a difficult divorce, involving years-long court proceedings that tested her resilience. Despite this challenge, she made the bold decision to invest in Ideal Weight Loss Solutions, a choice that charted a new course for her life.
Excellence in Business Ownership
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Ms. Turnley has maintained deep roots in the community that shaped her. In turn, the community has recognized and celebrated her entrepreneurial endeavors. For example, the Baton Rouge Business Report included her in their "Women Leading the Way" feature for three consecutive years. Ms. Turnley has appeared in Forbes Digital and Vanity Fair, and more recently, was featured in the "Inspire" sections of inRegister and 225 Magazine. A proud recipient of the Marquis Industry Leader plaque, Ms. Turnley can also be found on episode 35 of the "Life Possible Podcast."
In 2024, Ms. Turnley diversified her business interests by founding TJ Rental Properties. This venture demonstrates her ability to manage multiple companies simultaneously and reflects her talent for strategic planning. Nevertheless, she recognizes that even the most well-planned idea is subject to unknown variables. "You don't have to know everything; just believe in what you're doing," she says.
A Balance of Ambition and Motherhood
Ms. Turnley is eager to create new opportunities within the health space and is currently exploring the possibility of offering red light therapy at the clinic. "I've been drawn to the idea of doing this and hope to one day incorporate this in my clinic," she says. In the meantime, she's developing a series of books inspired by her personal and professional experiences. Writing, like wellness, offers a new channel for her to inspire others.
Despite her full plate, Ms. Turnley remains devoted to her sons, Brody and Brock. Additionally, time in the kitchen offers a personal escape. For the busy mom, cooking for family functions is essential to staying close to one another. Family remains her anchor while her work continues to reflect the values she holds close.
