Shelley Sherertz

Classes: Body Sculpting, Body Dynamics (body sculpting with an aerobic component), FitBall and Flex-Stretch.

Training and background: I have a B.S. Degree in Elementary Education, and I minored in Psychology at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I received my personal trainer - fitness counselor certification from the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). I am also certified in Resist-A-Ball and have a Stretch Certification.

Your Passion: As a former classroom teacher, I decided to take my teaching in a new direction. After having four children in five years, I realized the challenge involved in getting back into shape. My passion is to help others reach their own personal fitness goals, gain a strong sense of self esteem, and achieve a healthier lifestyle (while enjoying the process!).

Your Fitness Philosophy: I believe that everyone has individual fitness needs and different body types. An individual's goals should be based on these two factors. We need to set realistic goals for ourselves. We should not base our goals on unrealistic images. That will only set us up for disappointment. The definition of fitness is different for everyone. Ultimately it should result in a healthier and more satisfying quality of life.
