Today we’d like to introduce you to Shay Lee
Hi Shay, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
It all started with a realization—one that came from seeing people close to me struggle with their health, dealing with issues that seemed preventable. I watched as friends and family members faced challenges that could have been avoided with just a little more awareness, healthier habits, or more self-care. I couldn’t help but feel inspired to do something about it.
Instead of feeling helpless, I decided to take charge of my own health. I dove into fitness and nutrition with the intention of bettering myself—not just for the physical benefits, but for my overall well-being. It was about feeling strong, energized, and capable in every area of my life. As I learned more, I realized how incredibly powerful these changes could be—not only for me, but for others too.
What began as a personal journey quickly transformed into a bigger mission: I wanted to help women everywhere experience the same transformation. I became passionate about guiding others to embrace holistic health—focusing on the mind, body, and spirit—and creating lasting, positive changes. It wasn’t just about fitness routines or dieting; it was about empowering women to feel their best from the inside out.
The more I learned and grew, the more I realized how much potential we all have to be healthy, vibrant, and full of life. I wanted to be the one to help other women unlock that potential, supporting them on their own journeys to wellness—whether they were starting from scratch or looking to take their health to the next level.
It’s now bigger than just me. It’s about creating a movement where women feel strong, confident, and empowered in every aspect of their lives. I want to show others that taking care of your body is a form of self-love, and when you prioritize your health, everything else in life starts to fall into place.
This journey isn’t just about fitness; it’s about holistic wellness and living a life that truly feels good, inside and out. And that’s what drives me to keep going, to help others do the same, and to spread this message of strength, vitality, and self-care to women everywhere.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My journey into fitness and nutrition wasn’t exactly a smooth, straight path. In fact, it’s been a rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns, lessons learned, and moments of doubt. But looking back, I can honestly say that every challenge along the way was worth it, because it brought me to where I am now: passionate about helping others embrace their own fitness and wellness journeys.
At the beginning, I was just like many people—feeling overwhelmed by the endless options and conflicting information about health and fitness. I tried different routines, diets, and trends, but nothing truly stuck. It was hard to stay consistent, especially when life got busy or when I faced setbacks. But slowly, I started to realize that fitness isn’t just about doing the “perfect” thing—it’s about finding what works for you, staying consistent, and being kind to yourself on the days when things don’t go as planned.
One of the most exciting parts of my journey was when I had the opportunity to lead outdoor boot camps. It was such an amazing experience to see people come together in nature, pushing themselves physically while also connecting with each other. The energy was always incredible, and we built a wonderful sense of community. I loved watching people grow stronger, both physically and mentally. But as with all things, sometimes life changes, and those outdoor boot camps eventually came to an end. While I was sad to see that chapter close, it didn’t stop my passion for helping others on their fitness journeys.
Now, as a fitness lead at my church, I’ve been able to refocus my energy and continue to support others. I’m especially excited about our **Circuit Saturday** training sessions that we host once a month in Plano, TX. The best part? They’re **free**. No more excuses, no barriers. These sessions are designed for everyone—no matter where you’re starting from. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just beginning your fitness journey, we’re here to meet you where you are.
And it’s not just about the workouts. It’s about building a community of people who hold each other accountable and cheer each other on. Accountability partners are there to make sure no one feels left behind, to support you when you need a little extra push, and to celebrate every victory, big or small. That’s what makes these Circuit Saturdays so special—it’s about coming together as a team, learning, growing, and getting stronger together.
Looking back on my journey, I can confidently say that the struggles and challenges along the way have shaped me into the person I am today—a woman who is passionate about helping others prioritize their health and wellness. Whether I’m leading a workout session at church or sharing tips on how to live holistically, my mission is clear: to empower others to live healthier, more vibrant lives, no matter where they start.
So, if you’re looking for a sign to get started or to keep going—this is it. There’s no better time than now. And with free, supportive, and fun Circuit Saturdays, there’s no excuse not to get started. Let’s do this together! Contact me for details.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in empowering women to discover their true strength, both physically and mentally, through holistic fitness and wellness. As a Certified Fitness Trainer and Nutrition coach, I focus on helping women achieve their weight loss goals while building confidence, strength, and lasting habits. It’s not just about losing weight—it’s about creating a lifestyle that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit, so you feel empowered from the inside out.
What sets me apart is my combination of fitness and nutrition expertise. I understand that weight loss isn’t just about working out or following restrictive diets. It’s about balance, consistency, and understanding what your body truly needs. My approach is holistic: I provide personalized fitness plans, expert nutrition guidance, and the support you need to succeed in both areas. Whether it’s through outdoor boot camps or our **Circuit Saturday** training at my church, I create a space where women can come together, work hard, and support one another on their journeys.
What I’m most proud of is helping women not only lose weight but also regain their strength, both physically and mentally. I see women transform—not just their bodies, but their mindset and confidence. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see them break through barriers, achieve their goals, and realize they are capable of so much more than they believed.
I’m known for my focus on ‘women’s strength’, and my dedication to helping them achieve sustainable weight loss while improving their overall well-being. My certification as a fitness trainer and nutrition coach allows me to guide women in a way that’s practical, achievable, and tailored to their individual needs. I’m here to show women that they don’t have to choose between feeling good and looking good—they can have both.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is seeing women step into their full power, and this is especially true because I have two young daughters. Watching them grow into strong, confident women is not just a dream—it’s a mission. I want them to know, from the very start, that they are capable of achieving anything they set their hearts to. I want them to understand that strength comes in many forms—mental, emotional, physical—and that they can be unapologetically confident in who they are.
Having daughters has deepened my drive to help women, because I see in them the same potential that I see in every woman I work with. I want them to know that their worth is never defined by anyone else’s standards, and that real beauty comes from strength, resilience, and authenticity. Watching them navigate life with curiosity, determination, and grace is a constant reminder of why I do what I do. I want to build a world where my daughters—and all women—can walk into any room with their heads held high, knowing they are powerful beyond measure.
This is why helping women rediscover their strength, build healthy habits, and embrace their true selves is so important to me. The confidence that comes from taking care of yourself, both physically and mentally, can change your entire life. It’s not just about fitness or weight loss—it’s about helping women feel empowered to live life on their own terms.
When I see women break through their own limitations and become the best version of themselves, it fuels me. And knowing that my daughters are witnessing these transformations only strengthens my resolve. I’m here to help women see that they have limitless potential. Because, when women rise, we all rise—and that’s the legacy I want to leave for my daughters, and for every woman I have the honor to work with. **You are strong, you are worthy, and you can achieve anything.**
