MEET THE COACH

Welcome to my page! My name is Shai Peterson, and I am the owner of SHAPED by Shai. Over the years, I've discovered that fitness has always been my number one passion. From being active with dance team growing up, teaching young dancers along the way, and being a Minnesota Timberwolves dancer, I've always been immersed in the fitness industry in some way, shape, or form. Even when I found myself having no idea what I wanted to do in life, I always naturally found my way back to my love for fitness and helping others.

 

I graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth with a bachelor's degree in Applied Human Sciences. After graduating, I took everything I learned throughout college and my many years as a dancer and coach, and worked toward getting my certification to become a Personal Trainer. Which brings me here—founding my own business. Over the past year I've built my amazing client roster, have taught and continue to teach multiple group fitness classes, and started my own training business. 

 

There is no better feeling than being able to help my clients achieve their goals in a safe space where I prioritize everyone's comfort in both body and mind. It's important to know that I accept everyone no matter what your goals are —you just have to be willing to put in the work!

 

When working together, know that I'm your biggest cheerleader! My clients will tell you that I will always hold you accountable, and I'm a big believer defining your own goals and keeping them top of mind. At the end of the day, I’m going to do everything I can to help you reach them! Remember, WHAT DOESN'T CHALLENGE YOU DOESN'T CHANGE YOU!
