Holistic Lifestyle Coach | Medical Exercise Specialist | Author
"No two bodies are the same." For 30 years, Terahshea has dedicated his career to this single truth, rejecting cookie-cutter fitness in favor of true personalization.
​
Before becoming a coach, TJ was a storyteller. He earned his B.A. in Communications and Television Production from Rider University, originally envisioning a life in media. However, while studying Human Biology, he discovered a deeper fascination: the mechanics of the human body and the science of movement. He realized that true transformation doesn’t happen on a screen—it happens in the daily habits we build and the discipline we master.
Today, TJ merges these two worlds. He uses his background in communication to listen deeply and guide clients with clarity, while applying his deep expertise in anatomy and kinesiology to build bodies that last. In a world of social media "influencers" and quick fixes, TJ offers longevity.

Although Cheryl started teaching group fitness in college, she chose to pursue a corporate career after graduation. Once her kids were born and she wanted to have more flexibility with her schedule, she decided to switch gears literally and figuratively. Being a workout enthusiast and with her college fitness experience under her belt, a career in group fitness seemed a natural choice for her.
Cheryl obtained her certifications in personal training, group fitness, kickboxing and kid's fitness through AAAI and began teaching part time in various gyms. Most recently she also became certified in Tabata Bootcamp and PIYO. Cheryl brings with her over 30 years of experience in fitness and we are thrilled to have her as part of our team.
She is a high energy trainer who loves to exercise personally and enjoys helping others reach their fitness goals. She is very familiar with the specific needs of the women who are working hard to change their relationship with fitness. When not training or teaching, Cheryl is a very involved mom with her children's academic and athletic commitments.
