No Limits on Transformation
w/ IFBB Figure Pro Cheryl Davis
After taking a glance of a photo of Cheryl Davis, there is no denying that she has dedicated herself to her craft. As a fitness coach, personal trainer and accomplished figure competitor, Davis has used her achievements in the world of bodybuilding and her knowledge of health and wellness to build a business which not only promotes fitness and healthy living, but also motivates clients to transform their thinking.
Cheryl’s journey with health and wellness began at a young age during which she was involved sports and dance while growing up. “In high school, our gym class decided to change the curriculum to have more of a wellness focus and a part of the class required that we learn how to use the gym machines correctly, how to exercise appropriately, design workout plans, and other things,” shares Cheryl. This opportunity allowed for her to be exposed to weight training at an early age while most women are normally exposed at a later age. After high school, Cheryl remained active while attending Yale and even danced professionally afterward, however, she saw that something was missing when it came to her active life. “I felt as though there was a greater athlete in me. I wanted to develop the mindset of being an athlete,” shares Cheryl. As she approached 30 and entered into a new phase of life, it was her desire to challenge herself and build her athleticism which prompted her to enter into the world of bodybuilding.
