    • 4 Years

    Credentials

    • NASM corrective Exercise specialist
    • NASM Behavior Specialist and Performance Enhancement
    • NASM Nutrition Coach

    My name is Shakilla Uwera, originally from Rwanda, and I grew up in Zimbabwe as a refugee from the age of five until completing high school. Despite the challenges of limited opportunities, I discovered a passion for volleyball, which led me to represent the Zimbabwe National Team as an outside hitter during my high school years. After moving to the U.S. to study Medical Laboratory Science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, I gained 50-60 pounds due to unhealthy eating and inactivity. Determined to reclaim my health, I began working with a personal trainer and, through discipline and consistency, lost 52 pounds in six months, reigniting my passion for fitness. This transformation inspired me to help others, and I became an NASM-certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. I emphasize a holistic approach to wellness, including proper nutrition, stretching, and adequate sleep, and find fulfillment in helping clients achieve balanced, healthy lifestyles.
