**La Shayna is Ready to Empower Edmonton!**

From Competitive Dancer to Human Biomechanics Specialist, Meet the Driven Franchisee Ready to Empower Edmonton

A Life Rooted in Passion: From Dance to Fitness

Born and raised in Calgary, La Shayna’s life was always brimming with energy and movement. As a competitive dancer, she mesmerized audiences across North America for an astounding 18 years. However, her interests extended beyond dance, and she had a knack for sports and anything that got her adrenaline pumping.

After her dancing career, La Shayna found her calling in the fitness industry, where she spent eight years honing her skills and helping others reach their health and wellness goal. But life had more in store for her. She transitioned into a corporate career in the finance industry, which lasted for 18 years. During this time, she was blessed with a miracle: her son. This event rekindled her passion for fitness, prompting her to become a certified Human Foundation Trainer and later a Human Biomechanics Specialist under Functional Patterns.

The Journey of Self-Discover and Resilience

Juggling a corporate job and her health & wellness passion wasn’t an easy task, but La Shayna persevered. She opened her own gym in 2021, where she trained clients and continuously expanded her expertise. However, life’s challenges were not far behind. Her father’s illness, the demands of her job, and the added stress of raising a toddler during a pandemic tested her resilience.

In 2021, a friend invited her to a Rumble class, and it as love at first punch! Hitting the bag and releasing stress became a crucial part of her life, nurturing her mental well-being. The supportive and non-judgmental Rumble community made her feel at home, allowing her to shed worries and connect with passion.

Then, life threw another curveball. In January of this year, La Shayna lost her beloved father, who had been her number one fan and hero. His words of encouragement to follow her heart and take risks echoed in her mind. Soon after, she was unexpectedly laid off from her corporate job. It was a sign she couldn’t ignore.

Embracing a new path: from member to franchisee

La Shayna’s love for the Rumble community, combined with her determination to live life without regrets, led her to take a leap of faith. She applied to become a Rumble franchisee and marked the beginning of her exciting new journey.

Being part of the Rumble family resonated deeply with her values, especially seeing the positive impact it made in the community touched her heart even more.

As she prepares to open the doors of her studio, La Shayna is excited to create a welcoming space where everyone, regardless of their fitness level, can thrive. She believes that life is too short not to do what you love and embraces possibilities that come with taking risks.
