OUR PHILOSOPHY

You were not put on this earth to be average. You were put on this earth to engage in seemingly impossible activities and achieve success in a manner that renders all onlookers completely awestruck.

​

At Inner Beast, our passion is to help people realize their maximum potential. We care about so much more than just physical fitness--we care that you become the epic human being you were always meant to be. We can help you find what makes you feel like your most powerful, beautiful, capable, magical, complete self, so you can start living as the person you want to become. 

​

Would you believe, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW AWESOME YOU ARE YET!! It only gets better from here!

MEET THE TRAINER

Hi, I'm Shay! I'm a mom, athlete, and fitness coach. I got into fitness accidentally, but discovering my capacity for strength has left me ever more amazed with myself. I've accomplished more in life than I ever dreamed possible, thanks to the confidence and mental fortitude fitness have given me. My personal transformation inspired me to spend my life helping others achieve their own greatness.

​

I'm certified in personal training, advanced biomechanics, injury rehab, and sports nutrition, and am a former chiropractic assistant. I specialize in powerlifting, and use my advanced understanding of the human body to create highly individualized fitness programs that are scientifically proven, progressive, and safe. (And I love the Oxford comma!)

At the gym, you can recognize me by my crazy pants, wild gesticulating, and the borderline terrifying encouragements I shout at my clients. I love powerlifting, and eating like a powerlifter. When I’m not at the gym, I’m usually relaxing behind a piece of Russian literature, sipping strong coffee, a stiff Old Fashioned, or maybe both simultaneously. I'm a classically trained pianist, love 80’s, goth, synth-pop, and post-punk music, and am often on long walks around the city, eating things and petting cats all day.

FACILITY

We are a woman owned, LGBTQ friendly place! We take pride in our spacious, clean, all-inclusive facility. Because we prioritize safe, functional movements, we use free weights in our gym. We offer a fully ADA accessible gym and a unisex, wheelchair friendly restroom.

​

Inner Beast strives to increase access for those who may be uncomfortable in a big box gym environment. There are no bro vibes here. Nobody is going to be checking you out and making you uncomfortable. This gym is for you, and we really want you here.
