I’m Sharon McKenna, originally from Red Bluff, California. My love for nutrition and fitness was a gift given to me by my sport coaches growing up, strong, independent women who showed me that weightlifting can be for anybody, at any point in their life.

That gift changed the trajectory of everything. The strength I built under a barbell wasn’t just physical, it rewired how I walked into school, into work, into hard conversations, into competition. I decided to run with the passion and make it a career.

Today I’m a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I’ve competed on the NPC stage in bikini physique, the hardest prep I’ve ever done taught me more about programming, nutrition, and the mental game than any course ever could.

Now I coach women online nationwide and in-person at a private Scottsdale studio. The goal is always the same: build athletes who are physically and mentally strong, not just chasing a number on the scale.

What I do for clients
  • Structured Programming

    Progressive overload, recovery, and real exercise selection. No random workouts.

  • Macro Coaching

    Fueling training, fat loss without misery, muscle gain without guesswork.

  • Weekly Check-Ins

    Real coach response, not a template, not a chatbot.

  • Mental Strength Work

    Discipline, consistency, the long game. The work that actually compounds.

How I program

The body needs more than squats. Your glutes have three parts that each need their own angle. Your upper back is what creates the silhouette under your clothes. Your core needs stability work, not endless crunches. My programs train muscles the way they’re actually built — full development, multiple angles, real intent.
