Personal Training vs. Coaching

At Madison Heights , our coaches are experts in personal training, but they’re different than the personal trainers you may be used to. A trainer tells you what to do. A coach works with you, listens, and doesn’t stop thinking about your progress when the workout is finished. Your fitness needs are unique and a one-size fits all approach isn’t going to cut it. That’s why our coaches don’t create a plan for you until after you get to know each other. Makes sense, right? And don’t be surprised if you ever get a text from them when you least expect it. They like to check in.

  • Shema Reid

    GROUP FITNESS TRAINER

    Hi my name is Shema. I teach Zumba & Kickboxing. Although I was certified in Sept. 2017, I've been obsessed with the art of dance fitness since I was old enough to stand. Dance is life to me. It elevates the mind, keeps the body strong, and conveys expression from the soul. Dance being my favorite thing to do; is why I dance. I teach dance, however, to enlighten individuals through artistic movement to help improve insecurities and low self-esteem. I offer the community a fun and safe way to stay in shape. My goal is to be a positive contribution to society. Dance is my artistic legacy to human history. Through local gyms' aerobic classes and my dance/fitness company, Shema Star Danzas, I promote fitness with rhythmic moves. Let us dance these pounds away! The Bee Gees said “You should be dancin,” So let's do it
