Certified in personal training, nutrition coaching, yoga & assisted stretching. Hi, I’m Shayla Ryder, owner of TUF Bodies, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been a personal trainer since 2007, specializing in strength training, nutrition coaching, remote coaching, and assisted stretching, working primarily with women navigating the menopause phase of life. My passion for health began long before TUF. In the late ’90s, I started learning how the body truly works, not just for weight loss, but for long-term health, strength, and independence. I saw firsthand that dieting alone doesn’t work, and exercise alone doesn’t work. But when you combine smart movement, proper nutrition, and consistency, lives change. That belief became deeply personal after losing my grandfather. Watching his health decline from inactivity showed me how powerful and fragile our bodies can be. I couldn’t change his journey, but it fueled my purpose to help others take control of theirs. In 2007, I turned that purpose into a career, becoming a certified personal trainer and later expanding my education to include nutrition coaching, yoga, and assisted stretching. In 2008, I opened Transform U Fitness (TUF), now known as TUF Bodies, a community built on strength, support, and real-life results. Today, my mission is simple: help women feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies, especially during menopause, when the rules change and support matters more than ever. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building strength, balance, and habits that support you now and for years to come. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Stronger bodies. Better lives. Welcome to TUF.
