ABOUT WHALEY PERSONAL TRAINING 

Shelby Whaley is the owner of Whaley PT.  She was literally raised in a gym! Her mom owned a gymnastics school where Shelby was a gymnast and a coach. Although she was always an athlete, Shelby became slightly overweight after having surgery on a dislocated elbow when she was a teenager. She gained even more weight (along with some other bad habits!) in college. She stayed that way until she finally realized that adding proper nutrition to her exercise routine was the only way to get rid of the extra layer of fat she had been carrying around. Once she focused on better eating habits, the excess fat came off and the fit body hidden underneath was finally uncovered. At that point, she became passionate about helping other people get into shape.

Shelby got certified as a personal trainer and spent over 6 years being mentored by a veteran personal trainer and world champion athlete. During that time, she watched many pro and amateur athletes train for fitness, figure, and bodybuilding contests. It was amazing to watch their bodies transform from what already seemed like very nice fit bodies to the near perfect bodies that stepped on stage. Shelby decided to take her own body to the next level and she started competing in fitness and figure competitions. Then, when she became a mom, she began running in races to get back into shape. Only one year after she had her first baby, she placed in the top 5 at the Figure World Championships! Today, Shelby continues to balance her own fitness goals with her roles as wife, mom, and business owner. Her qualifications are:
