Marvin is a dedicated and compassionate personal trainer with a passion for transforming lives through fitness. From an early age, Marvin discovered his love for fitness while engaging in various physical activities during his high school years, including weightlifting, running track, and playing sports. It was during this time that he realized his innate desire to help others, and he recognized fitness as the perfect avenue to make a positive impact.
Marvin faced a life-altering challenge when he experienced a severe injury during his MMA career, resulting in a broken neck and temporary paralysis from the neck down. This setback, however, did not dampen his spirit. In fact, it fueled his determination to overcome adversity and reclaim control over his own physical well-being. Through sheer resilience and unwavering dedication, Marvin regained his mobility and emerged stronger than ever.
Today, Marvin firmly believes that taking charge of one’s fitness level is the key to embracing all that life has to offer. With his own transformative journey as inspiration, he is committed to guiding and supporting clients on their own paths to self-improvement. Whether it’s through customized training programs, expert guidance, or unwavering motivation, Marvin empowers individuals to seize control of their health and embrace a vibrant, fulfilling life.
Shaniera’s love for movement started young. At just 7 years old, she took to the floor as a competitive cheerleader, tumbling and lifting her way to victory. This passion for athletics continued throughout high school, where she juggled commitments on the volleyball, basketball, and track teams. But cheer leading remained her constant, pushing her to new heights (literally!) throughout college at Sam Houston University.
While at Sam Houston University, academics were incredibly important to Shaniera, earning her a degree in Mass Communications, while consistently making the dean’s list (spring 2013 to fall 2014) and even landed on the president’s list in fall 2013. Her hard work earned her a spot in the prestigious Golden Key Honor Society.
For nine years after graduation, Shaniera nurtured young minds as a kindergarten and second-grade teacher. However, the pull of fitness remained strong. In 2024, she decided to make a career shift and pursue her passion full-time, becoming a NASM-certified personal trainer. With her background in competitive cheer and a love for pushing limits, Shaniera specializes in strength training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and group fitness classes. Her experience with weight loss and her own dedication to a healthy lifestyle make her a valuable asset for anyone looking to transform their bodies and their lives.
