MORE ABOUT SHONDIIN
Yáʼátʼééh (hello) in Navajo! Shondiin means sunshine. I was born and raised in Gallup, NM in my dad’s downtown health club known as “Wowie’s Gym.” As a child, seeing my father wake up at 4:30 AM each day to pump iron truly inspired me to be the best personal trainer I can be. My hobbies are practicing yoga at CNM with cosmic Crista, running UNM golf course with Elias Romero, doing group exercise with Debbie Romero, strength training with free weights/resistance bands, and, to save the best for last, riding scooters with my 9-year-old son Dunte Jr. who makes me feel like a kid again. I am 3 years sober from drugs and alcohol, and exercising every day helps me in my recovery.
