Welcome
to my website. While this website serves as a tool for my business,
I am also using it to keep my clients, friends and family updated
on my progress as an athlete. I first shared the journey that
lead to my career as a personal trainer on ABF
Magazine
following my first competition. At this time I welcome you to
view my ‘before pictures’ and read “Shara’s
Success Story” to learn more about me. I also
encourage you to read my contributions to ABF
Magazine:
“Female
Bodybuilding” and “Post-Competition
Dieting”, along with a feature article published
in Edmonton’s Real
Estate Weekly.
Bodybuilding is the reason I am a personal trainer today. After
my own trials and tribulations with weight loss, bodybuilding
lead me to the answer to an issue I had struggled with for years:
How can I feel better about me? That answer is now clear. By adhering
to the strategies and attributes that the bodybuilding lifestyle
demands - hard work, perseverance, commitment, integrity and honesty
within oneself - I now believe I am as close as I have ever been
to solving this problem. The simple pursuits towards better mental
and physical health and wellness consequently lead me to a passion
my life had been missing.
That passion is in helping others learn to feel good about themselves
and how to transform their lifestyle so that they may forever
feel better both mentally and physically. I don’t believe
in fad diets, quick fixes or magic pills - they don’t work
and or don’t exist. I believe in teaching how to change
the very habits that have brought you to the place you don’t
want to be. That is what worked for me. There is nothing more
rewarding to me than watching a client fulfill their own goals
and hearing them tell me how GOOD they feel and how they believe
they have permanently changed their lifestyle. When someone feels
good about themselves, it infects all aspects of their lives -
career, family, finance, etc.
I hold accreditation by the
National Strength and Conditioning Association as
a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). I will also be obtaining my
National Strength and Conditioning Association – CSCS (Certified
Strength and Conditioning Specialist), as well as certification
through the American
College of Sports Medicine. While I understand that
certification is necessary to ensure a more complete education,
I will always feel that my own experiences with training, research
and trials have given me the confidence and knowledge to safely
help change others’ lives.
I am also proud to announce that as of December 2006, Scott
Abel, strength and conditioning specialist and coach,
has taken me under his wing to mentor me in his training protocols
(Innervation Training, Metabolic Enhancement Training (MET) and
Hybrid Training) and nutritional techniques. I am truly honored
to be learning under someone who holds 20+ years of knowledge
in the fitness industry, has 200+ titled athletes and whose dynamic
protocols and methods change trends in physique development. I
feel that being taught by Scott far outweighs ANY certification
and accreditation available because of his knowledge base, his
passion, and his REAL approach to training and nutrition. He is
very well respected and sought after in the fitness, health and
wellness, and strength and conditioning industries.
