About Today's Guest

Do you feel like you never had a role model that resonated with you when you were just getting started? Are you looking for continuing education that speaks to the population that you serve?

Sharelle Grant and I talked about her entry into the fitness industry and her experiences with midwifery and nursing. We reflect on the moments where she found herself learning more about women's health and how that's highlighted the importance of empowering other women with challenging science-based strength programs and continuing education.

We talk about how women's fitness isn't just the 3lb pink dumbbells that have been portrayed in articles online and in print and we discuss the direction we want to see the industry go in the years to come.
