Sharon Chamberlin is certified as a personal fitness trainer through the American Council on Exercise and certified as a Fitness Nutrition Coach through the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association.

From an early age, Sharon was encouraged to participate in competitive sports - soccer, basketball, track, softball, and volleyball.  She has been an athlete and fitness enthusiast ever since.  She explains that her parents instilled in her a level of self-confidence that has touched everything she does. 

"I didn't appreciate the gift they gave me until I was much older and began to realize that not everyone had the same sense of self-assurance.  It was at that time I recognized how fortunate I am."

She works full time as a Senior Facility Manager for Viox Services, and truly enjoys this job and the people she works with.  However fitness continues to have a strong presence in her life.

Sharon has been creating her own workout routines for years.  It wasn't long before she found herself acting as a fitness consultant, answering questions from other gym members and giving them hands-on tips.  Then she started meeting friends and family at the gym and taking them through workouts as a personal fitness coach.  This soon evolved into designing individualized routines.

It was at this time that she opened Catalyst 4 Fitness LTD, with the philosophy that a "one size fits all" program is not the answer for her clients to be successful.  Instead, her programs are designed based on her clients' goals.  Some clients prefer working with an online fitness coach while others want a personal trainer who will meet with them in person.  Similarly, some are interested in having a nutrition coach.  Being able to offer nutrition and fitness coaching and personal training has enabled her to help others improve their health, their fitness, and their self-esteem.

She is on the Reader Advisory Board for Women's Health magazine, a panelist on the NBA/WNBA Fan Forum, and a Lifestyle Advisor for www.active.com.  Sharon has been interviewed by a nutrition lifestyle counselor in New York and by ParentsRPeople, an online community for parents.  She has authored several articles which are published on the ShapeFit website.  She is a blogger on  www.wellnessdaily.com, a website that was launched in February 2010 and is owned by Jennie-O Turkey, one of the sponsors of The Biggest Loser.  Sharon has also been hired as a Fitness Writer and forum moderator for www.evitca.net which goes live in summer 2010.
