Sharina Palaypay

I’ve always enjoyed playing sports and working out because I love to compete and test my own limits. I enjoy Spartan Races and got into Powerlifting last year. I’m currently dipping my toes into Crossfit as I enjoy learning and doing different types of training.

I worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years but never felt like I was living my life purpose until I hired a personal trainer two years ago. I initially had a goal of losing weight but as I continued training, I gained much more than just reaching my goal weight. I had more confidence, I started to take more risks, and became strong and resilient to whatever came my way. That’s when I realized I wanted to become a Personal Trainer; My mission is to turn one’s inner pain into power and help them unleash the inner athlete they didn’t know existed.

I am currently working on obtaining my Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certificate and going to work towards getting my certifications to coach for Powerlifting and Crossfit after.

Kieryn Marcellus

BSc. Kin, CSEP-CPT, FRCms, EXOS XPS 1

Behind my name is a small taste of alphabet soup. These certifications serve to dictate institutions I’ve been to, what tests I’ve passed and how I spend my weekends. It’s not indicative of what services I can provide for you.

(Seriously, it’s like grabbing a fist full of scrabble tiles.)

What matters most is what I can do for you. I want to help you lose weight, get jacked, decrease pain, improve performance and/or help with your return-to-play program.

My training philosophy can be boiled down to:

• Serious Training
• Silly Human

In other words, I don’t take myself too seriously, but I firmly believe that serious strength training fixes a lot of problems. You have to lift stuff in order to fix stuff.

When taking on new clients, the most important thing for me to understand is where you’re at and where you want to go. This is about you, after all. From there, I’ll create a fully individualized program aimed at helping you achieve the more supple, swole, resilient badass version of you that you deserve to be.

Did I miss anything? Oh yeah. O+ blood, perfect kidney function.
