THE MISSION
WELCOME TO MY SITE!
Thank you for stopping by. I am Shera and feeling healthy, fit and strong is my passion. Sometimes you can't do it alone, therefore I like to say that "I like to meet people where they are and give a little direction" I specialize in helping busy women and men from all walks of life, as well as moms/families and diseased prevention individuals. I provide Health coaching, personal and group training in the Chicago area and online nationwide to promote wellness. I have the desire to educate and train people where ever they are in life in simple and effective ways they can live happier and healthier lives. This is done by providing simple fun ways to start shopping, preparing fun healthy foods, and learning to get up and move and start enjoying life! When was the last time you played in the snow? Let me help and teach you how to start living again. My Fit Over Fifty series.
