Shelly has over 13 years of experience working in the fitness industry. At a young age, Shelly had many sport/athletic pursuits including a passion for martial arts. After earning her black belt in Taekwondo, she had the opportunity to start teaching and instructing students below her. Shelly continued in martial arts as a student throughout her college years, earning a third-degree black belt in two different martial arts and continued to teach during college breaks. This experience led to her passion for fitness and wellness. After college, Shelly became a recreational specialist for developmentally disabled adults, where she helped participants train for the Special Olympics. She also had the opportunity to work with patients in a physical therapy setting. This experience only added to her interest in exercise and convinced Shelly that she wanted to pursue a career in personal training. Since joining the health and fitness industry, she has been fortunate enough to work with a variety of clients in the areas of small group training, weight loss, strength training, and corrective exercise. Shelly enjoys using an array of strength and mobility assessments to help people meet and track their health goals.
