HI! I’m Tarisha Shirley - a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, yoga instructor, bodybuilding competitor, mom of 3, and proud grandmother. But titles aren’t what define me.

At eleven years old, I started down a path of addiction that consumed much of my life. By my mid-twenties, I had survived countless years of physical, mental and sexual abuse, homelessness, and was raising two young children while trying to find a way out.

On June 8, 2011, I walked into my first Narcotics Anonymous meeting and have been clean ever since.

Fitness didn’t just change my body—it helped rebuild my life.

What began as a frightened woman hiding in the cardio room eventually led to teaching yoga, working with the Kilgore College Rangerettes, becoming a full-time personal trainer, and helping countless people transform their own lives.

Today, at 40, after raising three children, becoming a grandmother, navigating peri-menopause, and facing some of the hardest challenges of my life, I believe one thing more than ever:

Strength isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build.

That’s why my coaching is built on Old School Values. Modern Results.

Discipline. Consistency. Accountability. Evidence-based coaching.

Just real work that creates lasting change.

If you’re ready to build more than a body, I’d be honored to help you get there.
