Coaching Options

Hey, I’m Shelby.

I grew up an athlete and have always loved moving my body and seeing what I’m capable of. A recurring back injury sparked my interest in how the body works and led me toward exercise physiology and coaching.

Becoming a parent changed my perspective again. I understand that time, energy, and responsibilities look different for everyone. Today, I help busy individuals and parents make their health a priority in ways that fit their lives.

Heather Hopper Bickers

Shelby is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful as a coach! I spent more than two years working with her 1:1 and during that time learned so much and made significant improvements in my overall health! I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Rachel Meltzer

Shelby is an incredible coach! She’s the first coach I had in CrossFit and she convinced me to put a barbell over my head... and the rest is history! Shelby has an outstanding attention to detail and can provide the right course of action to any situation as you progress, including when life “gets in the way.” She can manage your fitness and nutrition alongside your lifestyle, not against it, making your goals achievable. Definitely trust her with your fitness and nutrition plans!

Ashley Mahrs

Shelby changed so many aspects of my life in a year’s time.

Shelby’s kindness, patience, and guidance is something I admire and appreciate more than she probably knows. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in the science behind strength training, fitness and nutrition, she is one of the most genuinely caring people you could ever have in your corner through any phase of your fitness journey. 💜💜💜

Holly Hickman

Shelby is so incredibly knowledgeable and truly kind as a coach. Whatever season of life, whatever your goals, she is supportive and encouraging the entire way! I can’t recommend her enough. She changed how I think about food, health, and exercise and I’m so grateful to have worked with her!

Kaitlyn Ragone

Shelby is a fantastic coach with an incredible depth of knowledge in her field. What I appreciate the most is her ability to adapt her coaching style to meet you at whatever season of life you may be in. I came to Shelby this time as a freshly postpartum mom looking for nutritional guidance, and she has met me each week with grace, understanding, and relatability. The individualized attention and support you receive from Shelby is truly unmatched and I really cannot recommend her enough!

Chelsea Russell Duffy

Shelby is an amazing coach who meets you where you’re at. Whether you need tough love, a gentler hand, or something different week to week, I’d definitely recommend her. I’ve been a client now for 3+ years!

Meghan Carter

Shelby is an AMAZING coach. She listens to your needs and goals while also holding you accountable through both gentle and hard coaching. She is the coach you want in your corner during all seasons and phases of life. She coached me for nearly two years and I can honestly say I walked away having grown, achieved success in so much more than fitness, and still use her coaching methods today. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking to step into a fitness coach environment!!
