Shayla always inspires me to push a little bit harder than I think I can. She has taught me to believe in myself. Five years ago I decided enough was enough and I needed to start putting myself first, and her support has been invaluable!

Thank you Dr. Shayla for helping me start and stick to a fitness routine for over a year! I’ve been working out three to four times a week since last January and I am feeling amazing. Usually, I pick dance-style workouts, but Dr. Shayla encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone based on many conversations and a few goal-setting sessions. Now I have added weight training and found a new love for feeling strong! My husband and I were struggling in the mornings with time (kids, work, etc) and we often forgot to eat breakfast. Our goal for 2021 is to make healthier choices as a couple and family, so we added a superfoods shake to our nutrition routine at the end of 2020 - best decision ever! Thank you again for motivating me and keeping me accountable. My bathing suit body will also be thanking you come April!

NEVER in a million years did I think I'd be on this path... NEVER did I think I'd be able to overcome my addiction to food and the vicious cycle and control it had over my life. NEVER did I think I would be able to work out from home and see results, and in 20-30 minutes nonetheless. NEVER did I think I'd be sitting here after 3 kiddos feeling stronger than ever and in the best shape of my life physically, mentally, and spiritually! But here's the thing, sometimes it takes something bigger than you to make you realize you were made for more and can do it. Most importantly, remember your goals and your vision for your life, and don't ever lose sight of it. The hardest part is starting - thank you Shayla and INSPIRE Wellness for your support, coaching, community, and health.

One year ago, I decided to make a lifestyle change. I have “dieted” and done just about every weight loss “fad“ out there, but thanks to Shayla, who introduced me to Beachbody - it has changed my life!

365 days of hard work, tears, sweat, frustration, excitement, learning, perseverance, confidence, disappointment, pride, mindset, expectance, plateaus, joy, and all the adjectives you can imagine used to describe the ups and downs.

I’ve proudly lost 66 pounds and 31.75 inches in 365 days, and am down 4 pants sizes and down 3 shirt sizes! I’ve also lost negative self-talk, self-sabotage, several excuses, and self-doubt, and have learned to love myself truly. To be gentle and kind to myself. To appreciate and celebrate the non-scale victories because those are gains and goals too! To celebrate life and realize that eating a piece of birthday cake at a family party or an extra cookie after dinner doesn’t mean I ruined everything. This is my life and I have learned how to create (and live) a healthier lifestyle.

Shayla, thank you for being my coach. The accountability groups, virtual gym space, wellness community, and introduction to the best fitness/nutrition platform have changed my life. You have inspired, encouraged, and supported me beyond words. I can now say I look forward to what lies ahead in life; conquering my next goal and helping others see they can do it too!
