About
I attended the University of South Carolina for my undergraduate and graduate studies and worked in the corporate retail industry for years. However, in my early 20’s, I developed a passion for fitness and encouraging others to live a healthy lifestyle. That passion led me to obtain my certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and work part-time helping clients get fit and stay fit.
It wasn’t until my career took an unexpected detour, that I took a leap of faith and decided to pursue personal training full-time. The transition has been challenging, yet rewarding which is how each one of us feels on our journey towards living a healthier life. I find so much joy in helping someone achieve a fitness goal, break through a barrier, or take a step of faith. I make it my priority to walk on this journey with my clients and not only be there for support and guidance, but lead by example. I would love to assist you on your journey to becoming your best self. Contact me and let me know how I can help you!
ON-SITE FITNESS
Everyone's journey is different. I think it's essential to see the beauty in the process and help others embrace the small victories that ultimately lead to a lifestyle that helps one evolve into the best version of themselves. And what better way to make those changes than with a small group of people motivated to support you along the way?
PERSONAL TRAINING
I’m a firm believer that your perspective and thoughts dictate the life you experience. So I make it a point to help clients shift their thoughts about their relationship with food, exercise and, most importantly, themselves. All experience levels and body types are welcome.
Services
I utilize various techniques to push my clients and keep my workouts fun and challenging. Some of my go-to’s are high intensity interval training, plyometrics, Tabata and strength training. However, I’m always exploring new regimens and ways to keep it fresh. Please select the option below that best fits your immediate need.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Michelle P.,
Financial Services Executive
She's the BEST accountability partner there is. She inspires. She challenges. When you say "you can't" she reassures why "you can". She does more than transform your body, she transforms your mind and your spirit into being the best it can be! I would recommend her to ANYONE.
Tenisha C., Director Internal Communications
There is simply no one like Shayla. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients and wants to help you reach your personal goals. Shayla knows how to apply the right amount of pressure while also diversifying your workout regimen to keep it fun and interesting. I have an autoimmune disorder that wreaks havoc on my body when I’m overheated. Shayla tailors my workouts to ensure I get what I need without overdoing it! Highly recommend her.
Shareeka C., Data Coordinator
Shayla has been my trainer for almost a year. She has been a God send and sort of my rescue. She not only trains you, but helps get to the root of why you haven’t been able to reach your goals. Although at times I have wanted to give up on myself, she never does. If you are looking for someone who is not out to just make a dollar but someone who genuinely cares about your wellbeing, she is definitely your trainer!!
Courtney H., Supervisor - Scheduling
I highly recommend her as a trainer. Her exercises are fun and different each time. She makes it exciting! Her plans work. I was able to loose all “baby weight”, going from 200 pounds to 160!! And still going strong! 💪🏾
