Im Shy, a health and fitness lifestyle coach for TAF.

I’ve been in and out of the gym throughout my life since the age of 16. Growing up I always dealt with being overweight, not fully knowing what to do in the gym or how to eat properly. I’ve always had a passion for the gym, but never fully grasped how to work out with strategy until I invested in hiring a coach.

I became a mom of 2 at the age of 19 and have dealt with many hard times and struggles in my life. Learning how to cope with all that life was handing me in a healthy way, was such a struggle for me. I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety my entire life and have always had to take medication for it from a young age.
I was someone who never had confidence for the majority of my life and never felt like I could fit in. I feel like so many people can likely relate to that feeling growing up. I know it took a large toll on me emotionally and physically. It caused me not to make good choices regarding food, and somewhat ate my feelings.
It wasn’t until I decided to take my health and fitness seriously, that my life started to change full circle. Investing into myself and learning how to eat a balanced diet, lift weights with intention, understand my body for the reasons why it was responding the way it was, that change, and progress began to occur. Furthermore, I changed from the inside out into the best version of myself I had ever been. This all happened because I chose to ask for help and wanted to learn.
Not only did I learn the importance of a structured workout plan, but I also learned about nutrition. Properly eating and learning how to eat in moderation is when I truly started to see the weight drop. Not only was I seeing physical changes, but mental changes.
I was able to get off my antidepressants and have never felt better. Living a healthy lifestyle has helped me in so many ways in my personal life, and my children’s life. Being a healthy fit mom for my children gives them the ability to know that life can be amazing and beautiful, if you believe in yourself, are willing to learn, and put the effort and dedication into your dreams and goals.
I’ve gained so much self-love and confidence in myself over the years. I can see the same slowly appearing in my children, and that truly makes it all so worth it.
The discipline and hard work of showing up for yourself changes you in the most beautiful way. Besides the gym and that part of my life, I also run and own my own cleaning business. Helping people is such a passion of mine. To be able to help transform people’s lives like how I’ve transformed mine, makes me only want to spread the knowledge I know with other people, and help them get to their health and fitness goals.
My passion is to help busy men and women achieve long term weight loss, grow unimaginable confidence and get in the best shape of their life.
