THE MISSION
WELCOME TO MY SITE!
Hey there, I'm Shera, the founder of Strange Fitness and a passionate advocate for the well-being of Black women over 50. and feeling healthy, fit, and strong has always been a goal of mine. My personal journey navigating health challenges, societal expectations, and aging-related issues inspired me to create a space where women like me can find the support and resources they deserve. With over 20+ years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, I am committed to helping you embrace this beautiful phase of life. My coaching and training have already touched lives, like one client who triumphed over cancer, became pregnant, and gave birth naturally.
I meet you where you are in your fitness, health, and wellness journey in simple and effective ways to live happier and healthier lives. This is done by providing simple, fun ways to start shopping, preparing healthy foods, and learning to get up, move, and enjoy life!
At Strange Fitness, we challenge ageism, celebrate individuality, and foster a supportive community where you can rewrite your narrative and create your desired life. Let's embark on this transformational journey together, redefining what it means to be a Black woman over 50!
Thank you for stopping by.

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE
I help men and women improve their quality of life by becoming physically and emotionally fit with exercise and motivation. As a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor of various formats, I am motivated to lead, educate, and inform to improve your well-being and encourage a change to a healthier lifestyle. I am most passionate about it. I aim to establish relationships with the community with a no-excuses format for physical activity, resulting in better health outcomes and lasting positive change. My purpose is to motivate others to improve their quality of life and live every day to the fullest.

In 2000, at 5ft 4 1/2 inches, she weighed 210 pounds and was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Also, she had heel spurs and experienced constant pain in her hip because of the excess weight. After the multiple diagnoses, Shera knew she had to lose weight and get better health. However, it wasn't easy until two very close family members died from harmful health-related diseases. Shera decided to take a change in her life seriously. With a commitment to becoming healthy, Shera started her career on the path to fitness and better health. Today, Shera has lost over 60 pounds and improved her overall health.
