Meet The Teacher

Hi! I’m Ms. Shannon, a Jesus-loving licensed and certified youth fitness coach with a background in gymnastics, cheerleading, and strength training. Fun fact: I even won a Florida State Bodybuilding title! For over 5 years, I’ve been teaching completely online and have helped more than 6,000 kids discover that movement can be joyful, purposeful, and faith-filled, all from their living rooms.

My heart is to make exercise something children look forward to each week, not only for their physical health but also as a way to build confidence, godly character, and a love for moving the bodies God has given them. With a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and multiple specialized certifications in kids’ fitness and dance, I’m so excited to bring that passion here to WonderWell Learning, a place where children can grow in confidence, community, and joy.

Every class I teach is rooted in faith, fueled by play-based fun, and designed to help kids shine as they become exactly who God created them to be. Each week, our workouts weave in Biblical truths such as courage, gratitude, perseverance, or kindness, so kids grow stronger in both body and spirit.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and multiple certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) including:

Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)

Youth Exercise Specialist

Fitness Nutrition Specialist

Adolescent Girls’ & Women’s Health Specialist

Virtual Coaching Specialist

I’m also SEL Mindful Practices Certified and a Play-Based Fitness Coach certified through Recess & Results. Before starting Ready Set Fitness Kids, I coached USGA Gymnastics and Competitive Dance/Cheer. Altogether, I’ve spent over 7 years helping kids thrive through fitness, play, and encouragement.

“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” — 1 Timothy 4:8 (NLT)

What to Expect 🙌

A joyful, Christ-centered fitness club that your child will look forward to every week!

✨ Build a Healthy Lifestyle, Faith-Filled Style

From Zumba dance parties to playful fitness circuits, classes feel more like fun with friends than a workout. Kids look forward to moving their bodies while worshipping God with joy.

🎤 Enjoy Faith-Themed Games and Challenges

From “Finish the Lyrics” with praise music to healthy-habit games, every session weaves in character-building and Biblical truths in a way that sticks.

💪 Gain Confidence

Our effort-over-perfection environment helps every child feel successful. Whether it’s trying a new exercise, dancing with friends, or simply sharing about their week, kids learn they are strong and capable in Christ.

🤸 Develop Strength, Skills, and Healthy Habits

Classes are designed to improve strength, balance, coordination, and endurance without ever feeling intimidating.

❤️ Fall in Love with Movement for Life

When exercise is rooted in joy and worship, it becomes something kids want to do, not something they have to do.

🤝 Belong to a Christ-Centered Community

Each class is more than movement, it is fellowship. Kids find friendship, encouragement, and joy through socialization and opportunities to really get to know one another!

💜 My mission isn’t to build the strongest 10-year-old on the block, it’s to build-up the most confident one, a child who knows their identity in Christ, loves Jesus and is eager to follow His ways, and is laying the foundation for an active, healthy life rooted in Him.

Helping kids see exercise as both worship and stewardship of the bodies He’s given us is exactly what the Lord has called and equipped me to do, and I couldn't be more grateful to be a small part of your child's education. I want every child to leave our classes feeling strong, successful, and loved! It’s an honor to guide children closer to Jesus and support them in their walk with Him — this work is hands down (or praise hands up!🙌) the greatest joy of my life.

I can’t wait to move, laugh, and grow in faith with your family!

Hugs and High Fives,

Shannon BS Elementary Ed, CPT Youth Exercise and Nutrition Specialist ❤ Founder, Ready Set Fitness Kids
