Tanya Shepardson

I grew up in the Washington DC area . I had my first training in fitness at our local YMCA as a fitness trainer. I found my passion and it has continued from there.

I graduated from American University in Washington, DC and proceeded to teach classes while in school . Once graduated, I applied for my dream job to 5 fitness resorts up the East Coast. After visiting all 5, I fell in love with Canyon Ranch and hoped that I would be hired.

Now, almost 20 years later I have been at Canyon Ranch in various capacities. I teach a variety of classes that are offered at our resort from spinning, to pool, strentgh training, Zumba, step aerobics, kick boxing, etc.
