Taylor's season was curtailed by a knee injury following a nasty challenge from Roman Bednar against West Brom.
But he has flown highly-regarded fitness coach Michael Pellegrino with him to his holiday base in LA.
Pellegrino worked with Taylor last summer.
Chris Hughton: “Steven’s a big player for us, he’s been here a lot of years and knows what the club is all about.
“He’ll be back with us at the start of pre-season.
“And it will be like a fresh start for him after a long period of no football.”
