✨ SHELLY TAPPE ✨
Shelly's journey has come full circle, growing up in Tomahawk, spending time in southern Wisconsin & Indiana, and ultimately finding her way back to the Wausau area to build a life rooted in what matters most: family & connection! She and her husband Jake are raising two little ones, Charlotte (3) & Sawyer (2), who are just 362 days apart. Life in this season is busy for her, but so full of love! Her weekends are primarily spent outside hiking, boating, & making memories, grounded in the simple recipe of fresh air & time together.
Alongside teaching at SALT, Shelly also works full time in corporate healthcare executive leadership, balancing both roles with a deep commitment to growth, service, & impact. Movement has always been more than just a workout for Shelly. It has been an anchor. Her connection to pilates & fitness runs deep, shaping not only how she moves, but how she lives. Through motherhood especially, Pilates and Yoga have become her foundation- helping her build strength, find balance, and stay grounded in the middle of a full life. It is where she reconnects, resets, and comes back to herself. Her workouts aren't about checking a box, they're about truly pausing to show up for herself - To support her health, balance her body, and create space in her mind. Her classes reflect that same intention, blending low impact strength with sculpt style movement. Shelly’s teaching style is rooted in precision, control, and presence. Her Hot Pilates classes focus on form-first movements, core driven strength, and intentional intensity designed to challenge you while still feeling supportive to all levels. You will leave her class feeling energized with a deeper awareness of your body and what it's capable of. Her mission is simple: To guide students towards building strength from the inside out!
“Progress begins the moment you choose to show up for yourself."
We love you Shelly xx
