Our SHE Squad

Our She Squad is the powerhouse behind SHIFT, a team of experienced, passionate women who live and breathe what they teach. We’re not just trainers; we’re coaches, cheerleaders, and real-life proof that strength doesn’t fade with age, it evolves.

Every member of the She Squad brings years of expertise in women’s health, hormone-informed training, strength coaching, and holistic wellness, all with one mission:
To help you feel powerful in your skin, at every stage of life.

We understand the shifts,  in hormones, in energy, in identity, because we’ve lived them. And we’re here to guide you through your own, with science, compassion, and zero judgment.

Strong. Heartfelt. Empowering.

Every woman deserves a coach who sees her fully,  who listens, understands, and shows up with real support. That’s exactly what you’ll find in our SHE Squad: a powerhouse team of coaches, educators, and cheerleaders who bring knowledge, compassion, and fire to every session.

We don’t just teach strength training , we embody it. Each member of the SHE Squad brings their unique lived experience and professional expertise to help you feel strong, seen, and supported through every phase of your hormonal and life journey.

We’re Hormone-Smart & Heart-Led

Our team is trained in the science of women’s health, especially the intricacies of perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. But beyond the certifications and credentials, we lead with empathy, intuition, and heart. We know what it means to move through change, and we’re here to guide you with both strategy and soul.

We Speak Your Language

No judgment. No pressure. Just honest conversations, real encouragement, and workouts that meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're lifting a dumbbell for the first time or coming back after a break, the SHE Squad is here to help you thrive, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

We Walk the Walk

We’re in this with you. We practice what we teach, and we believe in holding space — for strength and softness, for effort and ease, for laughter and learning. When you show up to SHIFT, you’re not just joining a class, you’re joining a sisterhood.

More Than a Team , We’re With You All the Way.

Happy Young Woman


We’re So Glad You’re Here

 

The SHE Squad isn’t just a team, we’re a sisterhood of coaches, mentors, and cheerleaders who are deeply passionate about helping women feel strong, supported, and at home in their bodies.

Every woman who walks through our doors brings her own story, her own energy, and her own power. And our job? Is to walk beside you, to meet you where you are, and to remind you just how capable and resilient you already are.

So whether you’re lifting a weight for the first time, returning to movement after a long break, or simply craving a space where your body is celebrated , we’ve got you.

Let’s move, grow, and rise, together.
