About Shantel

I’m what you call a “late bloomer.” I was 18 years-old before I played my first sport, rugby, and 21 years-old when I figured out just how much I loved fitness. My personal fitness journey has shaped me into the trainer I am today- one who is empathetic, dynamic, and completely invested in improving the health and wellness of my clients. Count on me to meet you where you are and facilitate the path to where you’re going.

Training philosophy

My motto is "Never tired, never scared" (NTNS). No matter what challenge is in front of us- poor health, injury, doubt- we have the ability to learn and grow from it. NTNS is about switching on mentally and physically to become a better, stronger you.

A typical session

Get ready to work! My number one goal is to keep you safe, but safe does not mean easy!! I will tailor each workout to match your fitness level, challenge your current capabilities, and build towards your goals. Together, we will discover what style of training will be most effective to maximize your time, efforts, and results.
