Meet Shana
Co-Owner | Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach
For the past 7 years, taking care of my body—both physically and nutritionally—has been my passion and my purpose. Through my own journey, I've explored and coached a wide variety of fitness formats including weightlifting, barre, Pilates, yoga, cardio, and dance-based workouts, all through an at-home training platform.
Alongside movement, I've become deeply invested in nutrition—specifically macro tracking. I've learned how to properly fuel my body through every phase: deficit, maintenance, and now a bulk. That experience opened my eyes to how many others are looking for the tools and support to do the same.
As a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach, I now offer both in-person training and online coaching. I'm passionate about helping others feel strong, confident, and in control of their health—and I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
Meet Janae
Co-Owner | Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach
I graduated in May 2025 with my Bachelor's in Exercise Science from Carson-Newman University. During the summer of 2024, I interned at a local gym where I taught group fitness classes and led personal training sessions. That experience—along with my own wellness journey—inspired me to start coaching. I'm now a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach, with additional certifications in CPR/AED, Virtual Coaching, Business Basics, and Home Gym Design. I'm passionate about helping others feel strong, confident, and capable by optimizing their health through fitness and nutrition. I'd love to be a part of your journey!
