Overview
One of the most pervasive myths in fitness is that it's necessary to only train for one goal at a time... i.e. you can either train to build an aesthetic physique or you can train to be strong, but you can't do both simultaneously. WELL MY LOVELIES, I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A BUNCH OF BS! Through proper training and nutrition you CAN actually achieve the look you want while lifting like a beast!
The Beauty of Strength program
is designed for women who want it all! Both aesthetics & strength are the focus of this science-based training program which will turn you into a fierce femme fatale!!
Whether you're just looking to drop a few pounds, round out your shoulders or rock an awesome booty, you've come to the right place! This program will get your curves kickin', your strength levels stellar and your confidence off the chart!
On a personal note
I've been involved in fitness and athletics for more than 20 years and have been helping build better bodies and better athletes for more than a decade. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association and hold a personal training certification (CPT) from the American College of Sports Medicine and am certified in Golf Fitness by the Titleist Performance Institute.
I've also been an active member of the Fitocracy community for more than thrtee years and I absolutely love this place! The camaraderie and unfailing support of the Fitocracy family makes this place one of the most inspirational sites on the web and I'm excited to be able to be a part of it. I'm really happy to be able to give something back to the Fito community by offering training programs and nutritional support to help other members achieve their goals!

Working with Shelly was awesome. She was attentive and extremely knowledgeable without being overwhelming. I found her food and workout programming to be of a very high quality. I was the leanest i have ever been and felt great and never starved or too sore. Looking forward to working with her again!

lifting all the big things
After working with Shelley Murray,CSCS my fitness and strength levels have definitely increased. I received coaching on my individual techniques and have integrated mobility work into my daily routines. The results are that I'm lifting at or near my PR's in most lifts and have a path forward to do even more.

You will never get bored in this program. The workouts were scaled just right. Every week is a bit different, and every week is absolutely challenging. Challenging, but absolutely doable. You will learn to love Cosgrove's Evil 8 complex. You'll probably still hate burpees.

I first contacted Ted at the end of May '16 weighing 144lbs at 5'4". Ted immediately sent a workout plan that I could do at Planet Fitness and gave me food macros to use with Myfitnesspal. My goals were to increase booty size and regain strength. By October '16 I weighed 130, was down 2 dress sizes, my booty was 3" bigger, and my squat/deadlift improved. Ted is always available to answer questions and motivate. He's not just a coach expecting results but a great friend.

Shelley Murray enables and encourages all the participants of her program to develop new and good practices. This is done with good humour that crates a real team feeling that fosters motivation and some healthy competition. It was a real pleasure to be a part of her course and I highly recommend her.

One of the best things about working with Shelley is she is NOT just a Coach. She becomes your mentor, educator, cheerleader and drill sergeant if need be. I have found strengths that I was sure I had lost through the years.

Shelley is an excellent coach! With her help, I was able to meet and surpass my fitness goals (weight loss, strength training and nutrition changes). I am happier and healthier than when I started, and I have the tools I need to not only maintain my lifestyle changes, but feel like I have the knowledge to continue my strength training.

Being guided by Shelley Murray, CSCS, during the The Beauty of Strength program, I have finally lost the last stubborn weight, which I have not previously achieved before. I am the same weight as when I was competing in sport during my school years (24 years ago), but I am so much stronger now, and my body composition is different. I am excited for what my future training with Shelley can achieve.

Roller Derby Bombshell
I started training with Shelley my first year playing derby when she was our head coach. Since then I've continued to work with her to continue my goals of being a better jammer. She has helped me get stronger, faster and more powerful on the track and has helped me improve my body composition a lot during our time working together.

Shelley and I played roller derby together and I started training with her toward the end of our first season. Since then I've had a couple of injuries which have sidelined me from time to time, but after getting cleared by my PT Shelley has helped me work on getting my strength and body composition back to where I want to be to keep me performing at my best.
