Getting To Know Me

Hey, I’m Shayna. I have a passion to educate and inspire others to achieve greatness through their health and fitness aspirations. I truly believe that I have what it takes to help you achieve any goal! There are a few things I’ll share with you before I gain your trust and we proceed.

I am a simple small town girl who loves the outdoors and is obsessed with chasing new adventures. Growing up, I always knew that my small town wasn’t big enough for my dreams. I had goals to travel the world and help people any way that I could. I wanted to find a career that would allow me to do both. I try to live my life in complete balance and believe this is the “magic pill” to achieving complete success. Not too much work and not too much play. This means that all components of your life should be working in harmony.

Simple modifications = big changes

I began my journey of helping people by earning my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from UNLV. Go Rebels! From there, I was on track to pursue my doctorate in Physical Therapy, but decided that it wasn’t for me. I needed to dip into the realm of fitness first. Something was telling me to explore this first; I guess they call that your gut. And, let’s be honest, grad school is too expensive to not be certain or happy about your career choice. After graduation, I earned my ACSM-CPT, NASM-CPT, Precision Nutrition, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective exercise specialist certifications and have not stopped learning since.

I started training at a small local gym to get me started, but I needed more. I wanted to grow more than this small spot could offer. So it was time to cross over into the corporate gym setting. I was ready to take my fitness career to the next level; to grow as a person and a professional. I dove head first into the overwhelming amounts of education they provided. I specialized in blood panels and metabolic testing to enhance my understanding of how the human body adapts and changes through exercise. All of these tools that I added to my toolbox all contributed to one goal… to get my clients results efficiently, educate them and allow them the opportunity to become the best version of themselves. After years of working for “the man”, I finally felt confident enough to take a leap of faith and branch out on my own. This is how Vita Solutions was created.

I’d like to share my experiences, knowledge and struggles with you. I have grown to understand that it’s more than just sweating in the gym. Sooooo many factors play a role. Hopefully through my stories, resources, and support I’ll achieve my ultimate goal and true passion…inspire others to become their best self each day.

Happy reading!

Recovery/Sleep Strategies

With increasingly hectic schedules, a diet rich in processed foods, and chronically elevated stress levels, the idea of enjoying high-quality, uninterrupted sleep can feel seemingly impossible. Yet, the significance of sound sleep for leading an optimally healthy life cannot be overstated. It is during this period of full rest that our bodies undergo complete recovery, preparing us to tackle each day with renewed energy. Failing to provide our bodies with the necessary recovery can result in carrying fatigue into subsequent days, which can manifest into excessive weight in the midsection, reliance on caffeine, irritability, heightened anxiety, and increasing food cravings.

Fortunately, Vita Solutions is here to guide you. We impart knowledge on achieving a restful night’s sleep, ensuring its high quality, so you wake up revitalized and prepared to triumph over the challenges of the day.

Community Events

Exploring new experiences and venturing beyond your comfort zone can be challenging, which is why Vita Solutions accompanies you every step of the way. Through carefully organized community events, we foster stronger bonds within and beyond the workplace. We alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with team gatherings, guiding you through outdoor walks, hikes, group training sessions, recreational sports that unleash your competitive side, or even casual coffee discussions.

By cultivating a strong community, we not only enhance accountability but also elevate the overall sense of joy and fulfillment in life.

Lifestyle/Behavior Change

Approximately 90% of people have a health and wellness goal that they would like to accomplish, yet many encounter challenges in sustaining their goals. Vita Solutions is your answer to ensuring all your goals are accomplished. We stand as your comprehensive answer to guaranteeing you achieve all of your health objectives. Our approach revolves around gradual, progressive behavioral changes, allowing you to master healthy habits one step at a time. By strategically stacking these habits, you not only achieve our goal faster but also create a sustainable routine for a lifetime.

Beyond habit stacking, we provide you with a thorough understanding of navigating life’s unexpected twists and turns. Acknowledging that maintainingoptimal living practices can be disrupted by high-stress events, travel, work pressures, or family commitments, we equip you with essential tools. These tools empower you to swiftly regain momentum and stay consistently on the path of continual progress.

Nutrition Advice and Education

Are you tired of cutting carbs, experimenting with fad diets, or caught in the calorie-counting cycle? Perhaps you’re just tired of feeling overwhelmed and constrained when it comes to your diet? Think of food as the vital fuel for your body, similar to the way gasoline powers your car. It plays a crucial role in optimizing performance, and without the essential macronutrients – carbohydrates, fats and proteins, our bodies undergo changes to compensate for the deficiencies.

As a result, fatigue sets in, sleep patterns suffer, moods fluctuate, fat accumulates in specific areas, and there’s a potential rise in blood pressure and other preventable health issues. At Vita Solutions, we champion the idea that you should be able to have your cake and eat it too— quite literally! We reject the concept of restrictive eating because we believe that food is meant to be enjoyed. However, we also understand the importance of nutrient-dense foods in maintaining optimal health. Healthy eating does not have to be challenging or unsatisfying; it can be seamlessly incorporated into your life without overwhelming your daily routine.

Training Tips

Cardiovascular exercise and strength training are essential components of health and wellness. Today, more of our jobs require us to lead sedentary lifestyles, finding the time and motivation for these essential activities can be particularly challenging. At Vita Solutions, we firmly believe in the importance of tailoring fitness programs to individual needs. Recognizing that each person has unique goals and interests on their exercise journey, we understand that not everyone aspires to train at the gym or run marathons for optimal health.

In our approach to coaching, we strive to empower you to discover a personalized routine that aligns with your preferences and is sustainable for long-term success. Our guidance extends beyond exercise, encompassing a comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular and strength methodologies, as well as insightful education on the metabolic benefits achieved with regular physical activity. More importantly, we ensure that your fitness journey is both enjoyable and effective.
