My Story

I’m Shana a mother of two beautiful children and wife to an amazing husband. I love running, football and being outdoors.

I have always been an active person, I grew up enjoying sports but I let myself continue to think I could eat and do whatever I wanted to my body and there would be no consequences! After the birth of my second child, in 2015, I was struggling with high blood pressure, a slew of hormonal issues, diabetes in the back of my brain (from family genetics) and I was topping the scale at over 200 lbs. I decided ENOUGH!

I was lucky enough to read an article by an amazing online trainer and I reached out to her for help. It was the best decision I have ever made! I did my exercises in my tiny bedroom while my young children slept and I soaked up all the information she taught me about nutrition…and ya know what?? It worked!

Fast forward today and not only am I smaller than I was when I graduated from high school but I’m healthier, smarter and now a certified personal trainer. I’m ready to have the same influence on others that I was lucky enough to have! I wanted to share my story so you know where I’ve been and how dedicated I am to helping others with similar stories.

On her journey to shedding 85 pounds, this 42-year-old wife and mother realized that the answer to health and weight control doesn’t always mean fewer calories and more cardio. A sustainable, reasonable approach to eating, lifting, and cardio gave her a new life!

As a mom and small business owner, I always feel crunched for time, energy and motivation. However, I’ve found Shana’s workout routines to be both manageable and flexible. She offers a great mix of cardio and strength that leave you feeling like you definitely worked out but with energy to get through the day and without committing a ton of time. Shana’s constantly checking in to make sure you’re doing ok and to offer alternatives if or where needed. I highly recommend her and Aspire Fitness and Health to get you going on your journey to wellness!!

I’ve been working out for quite some time now. I knew i wasn’t seeing any results. I’ve watched Shana workout at the same gym and always wished to be able to do the things she does. I finally pulled the trigger and asked for her help. Since I’ve done that, I couldn’t be happier. Her knowledge and ability to make me feel accomplished, after my workouts is amazing. If you’re looking for a trainer, I highly suggest Shana!

When the new year came around, I wanted to still continue my losing weight journey, but I needed someone to push me, so I asked Shana to become my personal trainer. Since I’ve started with her, not only have I been losing weight and inches all over my body, but I’ve never been so confident about my body until I began to train with her. I HIGHLY recommend Shana if you’re trying to lose weight, become more fit, and just gain more confidence.

🧠 Creatine isn’t just for the gym… it might help your brain too!A new 2025 review found that adults 55+ who consumed more creatine — either through food (like meat and fish) or supplements — tended to perform better on memory and attention tasks.Most people think of creatine only for muscle and strength, but it’s also involved in energy production inside the brain. Pretty cool, right?While research is still early, this is another reason to keep eating nutrient-dense foods (and maybe not fear that scoop of creatine in your morning shake 😉).#HealthyAging #BrainHealth #Creatine #StrongBodyStrongMind #FitnessFuel #AspireFitness ...
