Sherrie Carnicle, mother, personal trainer, fitness model and competitor born December 22, 1977 and raised in Cedar Rapids, IA.
My parents and family inspired my interest in fitness, father was a golden gloves boxer, and competitive power-lifter, mother never missed a day of exercise, every morning she did videos in our living room. Our Father actually paid us an allowance to do push ups and sit ups each night.
Growing up with one brother, Paul, who was 4 ½ years older than me, you could describe me as a tomboy. I followed him around playing football, catching insects, and riding dirt bike. I then followed in his athletic footsteps as he set records in track in middle school and high school.
I started with karate and gymnastics around the age of 6 and continued my involvement in sports such as volleyball, track, soccer, cheerleading throughout middle school and high school.
During my first season of track, as a freshman in high school, I started lifting weights and was immediately hooked. College
I knew my passion and career path right out of high school and went to college at Western Illinois University, to pursue a BS in Exercise Science, graduating with honors. I was a fitness trainer for the student recreation center and actively participated and took on leadership roles in many student clubs. Family-Daughter
After college I did my internship in AZ at Camelback Resort. Shortly after my internship I had my daughter Hailee, who is now 7, and moved back to IA. Competition
I did my first figure competition in 2004, 10 months after giving birth to Hailee. I placed first in my initial show and earned a pro card in NGA. I went on to compete later in the NPC sanction where I am currently top ten ranked national competitor in figure. While training for shows I picked up an interest in running road races and actually placed at the top in many ranging from 5k to 25k. Work Experience

I lived in IA and was a personal trainer part-time and food technologist part time. The fitness industry was lacking in IA and I had the opportunity to relocate to MN through Cargill. Career Change
I moved to MN in Oct 2006-Within a year of working in MN, realized the fitness industry was great for switching to full time personal trainer. I pursued my passion in fitness by beginning full time personal training career in 2007 and it was a success!
As business was successful, I knew that it could be successful in a place that I would be happier living in. My ultimate goal was to move to AZ and made it happen in Oct 2009. No more winters!! Client success

I enjoy bringing spirituality into training and life, positive energy and inspiration
Music drives and motivates me and I have always explored the idea of learning how to spin electronic music. Goals I am currently working on:
I aspire to be one of Scottsdale’s premier female personal trainers expanding my business to more and more people in the Old Town, PV, and Scottsdale areas. I want to be a resource for people and a community leader in promoting fitness and reaching adults and children, changing and positively impacting lives of clients and people clients reach as well. I would also like to create posing seminars and coaching more figure and bikini competitors helping them to become more successful at the sport. Modeling
Personally I would love to grace the cover of magazine such as Oxygen or Muscle and Fitness and inspire people with busy lifestyles to create a positive and healthy lifestyle not only for themselves but, for those that are around them. Positive and healthy people really do influence people around them with great impact in a healthy way. Making healthy choices can and will impact your life, your friend’s life and your children’s alike.
