Emma C's Story: 9 Months at SHINE




“When I started, I wouldn’t even step foot in a HIIT class. I was too scared to do a burpee. Now I’m in the studio five times a week—and I actually look forward to it.”

Summary


Emma (she/they) first found SHINE FIT through an Instagram ad and has not looked back. What started as casual drop-in classes twice a week quickly evolved into a life-changing experience—both physically and personally.


Now, she's stepping into a new role on Team SHINE as our Content & Marketing Manager!



Before SHINE FIT: Inconsistent and Looking for Community


Before SHINE, Emma (she/they) didn’t have a consistent workout routine. They had just moved to Toronto and were looking to make friends and find community in the city!


❌ They enjoyed being active outdoors, but winter made it hard to stay moving

❌ They weren’t confident stepping into higher-intensity formats

❌ They didn't know anyone in the city and were looking for a supportive community.



The Turning Point: Finding SHINE FIT


Then, an Instagram ad caught Emma's eye. It showed people laughing, dancing, and genuinely having fun while working out, and she thought:


"These are the type of people I want to be friends with"


That was enough to get her to try her first class… and she hasn’t stopped since.


💙 She instantly felt welcomed and supported

💙 She joined the Energy Exchange team to stay involved

💙 She began attending consistently and exploring new workout formats, including HIIT classes!



The Transformation: Confidence, Community, and Growth


Emma’s biggest change? Confidence—in her workouts and in herself!


✔️ She is now in the studio five days a week!

✔️ She went from avoiding HIIT classes to crushing them.

✔️ She’s doing all the burpees and push-ups she once thought she couldn’t



Why Emma's Excited to be on Team SHINE!


“SHINE changed the way I see fitness—and I’m so excited to help more women find a community where they feel empowered, too. I know firsthand how powerful it is to go from doubting yourself to realizing what you’re capable of.”
