My Story

Yani is a dedicated and inspiring fitness coach with over ten years of experience helping others transform their lives through health and wellness. Her journey began unexpectedly at 15, when military school shaped her discipline and resilience—though fitness wasn’t yet on her radar, she always dreamed of gaining strength.

After becoming a mother, Yani often put her needs last. It wasn’t until she decided to prioritize her health that everything changed. As she committed to her fitness journey, she discovered a passion for training and went on to compete in bodybuilding—winning 1st place in her first Bikini competition before moving into the Figure division.

Now, Yani loves guiding others toward their own wellness goals. She deeply values the relationships she’s built and takes pride in helping clients achieve lasting transformations. Her commitment to fitness and genuine love for empowering others make her a driving force at Shaypes Lifestyle.

Yani’s Philosophy

Yani’s all about showing up for yourself—even on the tough days. She believes movement is medicine, food is fuel, and mindset is everything. Her coaching blends structure with soul, helping you build real strength inside and out.

To her, it's not about being perfect—it's about being proud of how far you've come and excited about where you're going. At Shaypes, she’ll push you, hype you up, and remind you that you’ve always had the power—you’re just learning how to use it.
