About Me
Hey, I'm Shony
I’m Shontelle, but most people call me Shony. I’m a qualified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Coach, and I’ve been working in the fitness industry since 2023.
My own relationship with fitness hasn’t always been about feeling strong and confident. When I was younger, I struggled with my confidence and body image, and initially started exercising for the wrong reasons. But somewhere along the way, I discovered weight training, and completely fell in love with how strong, capable and confident it made me feel!
That experience shaped the way I coach today. I don’t believe fitness should be about chasing perfection or following an all-or-nothing approach. It’s about finding what works for you, making movement something you actually enjoy, and building habits that fit into your life.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, getting back into training, or ready to take things to the next level, I’m here to help you feel stronger, more confident and good in yourself – without fitness taking over your life.

Testimonials
Kind words from my clients!
"I’d been wanting to get back into group classes for a while after having kiddies, but didn’t want the big gym vibe or larger classes. I was looking for something smaller and more personal, and hadn’t found the right fit until I came across Shony’s Instagram.
Since then, I’ve been going a few times a week and absolutely loving it. The classes are the perfect size, the environment is supportive, and it’s been such a good way to carve out time for myself.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for small group training that doesn’t feel intimidating!”
R.Rowe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“When I saw that Shony had started her own business, I reached out for help getting back into fitness after my pregnancy. I had a one-on-one session with her and it was such an amazing experience. She was so supportive of my goals and made sure every exercise felt right for me.
After the session, she checked in with me to see how I was feeling and if anything needed to be adjusted. I would highly recommend Shony to anyone looking to start or get back into their fitness journey. She’s so supportive, makes you feel comfortable, and it’s always a good time training with her!”
Ashlee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Working with Shony has been amazing! Her 6-week plan was way more than I expected — from the clear videos, detailed descriptions, and wonderfully challenging workouts with plenty of exercises. Everything was super tailored to my needs, and being able to touch base with Shony every week was the icing on the cake.
I’m recommending her to everyone who wants good coaching!!”
Rebecca ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Starting personal training with Shony has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I was nervous about stepping out of my comfort zone, but Shony has made the whole process feel so comfortable and empowering. She’s incredibly supportive, understanding, and truly takes the time to get to know your goals.
Shony has helped me gain confidence, stay motivated, and stick to my plan. Her energy is uplifting, and she knows how to push you just the right amount. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a PT who genuinely cares and gets results.”
