Who is
Shawni Cherelle?

Hey! I’m LaShawndra “Shawni” Boyd, a CPT, Mother of 1, Wife and Fitness Enthusiast. My hope is that you’re here to start your fitness journey and join our community! I want to be the first to say WELCOME!! Please make yourself at home and learn a bit more about me, my Training Trinity philosophy, and our community of strong women.

MY STORY

I became a Certified Personal Trainer in 2014, and since then I have been able to change the lives of hundreds of women through health and fitness. I started my own fitness journey in 2012, which fueled my passion to empower women and help them experience the confidence they deserve and to be their true, unapologetic selves. Growing up, I lacked confidence, so I know the feeling all too well. From a young age, I struggled with my body image and self-esteem. To put it in perspective, looking in the mirror was difficult. Additionally, I even dreaded clothes shopping, which is something young women are supposed to enjoy. I suffered with these insecurities for about 10 years until I was in my junior year at Eastern Michigan University and I reached my “breaking point”. At this moment, I decided to let go of fear, grab onto faith, and adopt a healthier lifestyle. After facing the initial struggle of getting started, I set a long list of goals and accomplished every single one! From then on, I knew God wanted me to use my testimony to help women worldwide overcome their own struggles that I once faced.

Shawni's Training Trinity

Being a trainer is an extremely personal career and my clients essentially become family and I want to see my family succeed in all aspects of their lives. This ideology has shaped what I refer to as the “Training Trinity”. This is the inclusion of physical, mental, and spiritual health growth and development. Having a psychology background, I understand the importance of dealing with your internal struggles and how that can impact your body physiologically. In addition to being spiritually aware and knowing that no matter how tough things get God is your strength and the key to all these elements working together to transform your life.

Physical

Our body is our home, we must nurture and protect it. Being active will help us create the best body that we can. Beyond aesthetics, being physically healthy gives our body an environment it can thrive in.

Mental

The thoughts that start in our minds will essentially affect our bodies. Ensuring that we have positive, affirming, stress-free thoughts will allow our bodies to work with us and not against us.

Spiritual

God is the center of our lives and ensuring that we have a strong relationship and prayer life with Him aids in the success of our fitness journeys. Having this strength allows us to overcome fears, doubts, and any other barriers that would normally enable us to quit.

Our Community

Let me say that I love ALL my clients! These ladies are absolutely amazing! I have always placed a high priority on creating a community centered around motivating and empowering women, bringing them together through fitness. My clients are some of the most supportive women I have ever met. It’s beautiful to experience them working together, sharing their stories, and building relationships that go well beyond training. I Just Love It Here!!! When you train with me, whether in person or virtually, you are never alone. You are a part of a family who has your back and aspires to see you succeed. These ladies laugh together, cry together, talk crap about me together but most importantly they stick together.
