How did you get started teaching?
Shape 4 Life Fitness Studio was inspired by the owner’s personal weight loss journey. Learn more about Deidra and how she and her team can help you achieve your goals.
Deidra has been a Westerville resident all her life. Her story began in April 2010 when she reached her all-time highest weight of 215 lbs. By October 2010, she had lost over 50 lbs. and went from a size 16 to an 8. Spending over 15 hours a week at the gym, her passion to become a personal trainer continued to grow. Deidra enrolled in the Personal Training Academy and NETA – National Exercise Trainers Association and became certified in Personal Training and Group Exercise, with the hope to inspire others to achieve their weight loss goals. Then, in March 2011, her dream to open her own fitness studio became a reality.
In January 2015, Deidra had reached a plateau in her fitness journey. She decided to set a 3-month goal and become intentional with her workouts, meal prep, and nutritional supplements. Her results for 3 months: a 6% body fat loss and an additional 10 lb. weight loss. “I want to always put forth my best effort and show my members that if I can do something, then they can achieve the same result if not go further. I feel it is important for members to know my struggles as well. Being healthy & fit is a journey. There are a lot of peaks and valleys. But I always want to keep my eye on the horizon, to be the best I can be for my members and myself.”
Deidra has led just about every class offered in the studio, but her ‘Command Central’ for the last few years has been in the Spin Room. Deidra is energizing and motivating. She likes to keep her workouts fun. “I believe in working hard, but also feeling amazing after!” She is a people person and takes pride in getting to know every member and their goals. “There is great satisfaction when members succeed in their journey, meet their goals, or step up their game. I can honestly say ‘I did that, my studio did that!’.”
“I am very proud of the resources available, the variety of class offerings, and the talented trainers that makeup Shape 4 Life Fitness Studio.”
