MY why

Growing up, my older sister Chelsi and I were always very active. We were involved in sports; we loved working out and working hard. Opening a gym was a dream we had hoped we would get to do together someday. Our motivation was to help people feel good – not only in the gym but in life.

Chelsi passed away in 2008.  Although I miss her more than I can say, I am so thankful for the community that has helped our grown our dream through ShayFIT and ShayFIT Gym. We started ShayFIT on Instagram… After posting workouts for years we decided to start a website to offer online programs and now due to the high demand, we have the ShayFIT Gym!

This was something Chelsi and I dreamt of when we were younger and it’s finally happening. We wanted to have this space, gym, and platform to be a place for EVERYONE to feel welcome, and for EVERYONE to feel GOOD when they are here and when they leave. That focus as ShayFIT is what I love most about what I do! It has been so fun and rewarding to hear feedback from someone who does an Ab Challenge, Monthly Training workouts, or comes in to our Gym. My favorite response is when someone says, “I have never felt better or had more confidence. I am not only feeling stronger from the workouts but I’m happier and just feel SO GOOD.” This is what matters to me! This is why I love what I do and I am so grateful for everyone who has and is still supporting me every single day.

The ShayFIT Community is so real and it is something I have always wanted and want to continue to build with you guys! Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves. Everyone deserves to feel a part of something and not feel insecure or self-conscious. Working out shouldn’t be punishment because you hate your body. Working out is a lifestyle that should help you feel happier, stronger, more present, and better about yourself and everything in your life!
