Personal trainer since 2007, helping women thrive through menopause. Strength, balance & flexibility focused. TUF Bodies. Strong at every stage. Stronger bodies.

Certified in personal training, nutrition coaching, yoga & assisted stretching. Hi, I’m Shayla Ryder, owner of TUF Bodies, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been a personal trainer since 2007, specializing in strength training, nutrition coaching, remote coaching, and assisted stretching, working primarily with women navigating the menopause phase of life. My passion for health began long before TUF. In the late ’90s, I started learning how the body truly works, not just for weight loss, but for long-term health, strength, and independence. I saw firsthand that dieting alone doesn’t work, and exercise alone doesn’t work. But when you combine smart movement, proper nutrition, and consistency, lives change. That belief became deeply personal after losing my grandfather. Watching his health decline from inactivity showed me how powerful and fragile our bodies can be. I couldn’t change his journey, but it fueled my purpose to help others take control of theirs. In 2007, I turned that purpose into a career, becoming a certified personal trainer and later expanding my education to include nutrition coaching, yoga, and assisted stretching. In 2008, I opened Transform U Fitness (TUF), now known as TUF Bodies, a community built on strength, support, and real-life results. Today, my mission is simple: help women feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies, especially during menopause, when the rules change and support matters more than ever. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building strength, balance, and habits that support you now and for years to come. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Better lives. Welcome to TUF.

Personal training is really about teamwork. 😂

She does the decline push-ups.
I eat the cake.
I lose count.
She does a few extra.

It’s a solid system. 🍰💪

Chicken. Bacon. Ranch. Pasta. 🤤
Tell me that doesn’t sound like a meal plan you can stick to.

This one is creamy, easy to make and comes in at around 50g of protein per serving. And yes, pasta, cheese AND bacon can all fit into your goals.

Because eating well doesn’t have to mean eating boring.

Save this one for dinner this week—and send it to someone who thinks “healthy eating” means grilled chicken and broccoli every night. 😂

Your weekend doesn’t have to undo everything you worked for all week.

And your plan for the weekend? It starts TODAY.

Look at what’s coming. Plan your workouts. Grab the groceries. Have easy protein options ready. Drink your water.

Then go out to dinner. Have the dessert. Enjoy your plans.

One meal isn’t the problem. Turning the entire weekend into a free-for-all is where things can get sideways.

You don’t need a perfect weekend. You need a plan.

Want help learning how to enjoy your weekends AND still make progress? Comment WEEKEND and I’ll show you how.

Happy Wednesday! ☀️

Just a little midweek reminder: you’re doing better than you think.

Maybe everything isn’t happening as fast as you’d like. Maybe this week hasn’t gone exactly as planned. That doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Keep showing up. Keep moving forward. And give yourself some credit.

Good things are ahead.

but sometimes we make things a little more TUF. 🔥

Adding cable resistance turns this simple movement into a serious core challenge.

The goal isn’t just getting your arm and leg out there. It’s keeping your core tight, hips square and body controlled while that cable is trying to pull you out of position.

Slow it down. Control the movement. Make your core do the work.

Simple exercises can be HARD when you do them right.

Save this one for your next core workout—and if you need help putting together workouts that actually challenge you, message me. 💪

I see the place that keeps me sane. 🖤💪

This space has seen hard days, big wins, heavy lifts, lots of laughs, a few choice words 😂 and more “I didn’t want to work out today” moments than I can count.

But somehow, you almost always leave feeling better than when you walked in.

It’s not just where I work.
It’s not just where we lift weights.
This is my happy place.

Now I want to know… where is YOUR happy place? 👇

Heavy weights or lighter weights?
More reps or fewer reps?
Strength training or cardio?

My answer? YES. 🔥

Lift heavy. Lift lighter.
More reps. Fewer reps.
Strength train. Do cardio.
Walk. Stretch. MOVE.

There isn’t ONE perfect way to work out.

The biggest mistake? Spending so much time trying to figure out what’s “best” that you end up doing NOTHING.

Your body needs variety. And more importantly, it needs consistency.

And if you’re sitting there thinking, “Okay Shayla…but what exactly should I be doing?”

That’s where I come in. 💪 Message me and let’s build a workout plan that works for YOU.

This is my kind of meal prep...make ONE protein and turn it into completely different meals all week.

This Crockpot Buffalo Chicken is easy, high in protein and definitely doesn’t taste like “diet food.” 🙌

Wrap it. Stuff a potato. Throw it on a salad or rice bowl. Make lettuce wraps. Grab some veggies and dip.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated OR boring.

🔥 SAVE this one and SHARE it with someone who’s always looking for easy high-protein meals!
