Hello Fit Bodies!
My name is Shira Hermant and I was born and live in Toronto, Canada. This is a bit about who I am.
Prior to having my two kids, now age 10 and almost 12, I worked for many years as a Production Manager in Special Events. Key qualities to be successful in the world of Special Events are creativity, organization and strong people skills! I am fortunate to have been able to work on many events, large and small, from sporting events to fundraisers, corporate and social.
Once I had my kids, I felt strongly that being at home while they were small was the healthiest thing I could do for them, however I still wanted to keep busy and productive on a part time basis and so I turned a 20 year passion for fitness and health into a business by certifying as a Personal Trainer with Can Fit Pro and then as a Spin/cycle instructor with Reebok.
For the past nine years, I have built and maintained a strong Personal Training business as well as I have been teaching Spin and Body Sculpt classes. I also run a group Bootcamp program that I have designed. I love to share my passion for fitness and health with others and hopefully bring a positive influence to their lives!
In addition to that, since 2009, I have taken on the role of Co-chair at my children's school where I oversee all fundraising events and initiatives, the largest of which is the annual Fall Fair. I also work on a variety of special events each year that I produce and manage for my clients.
Two years ago, my husband and I took our kids on a vacation to Dreams Riviera Cancun. We both worked out every day and there we met one of your Fit Body instructors who was teaching Spinning classes that week. He was a great instructor and he spoke very highly of his experience teaching for Fit Bodies.
After speaking with him, I decided to also join Fit Bodies and look forward to being able to teach at vacation resorts while travelling with my family!
All the best,
Shira Hermant, Toronto Canada
