OUR TEAM

Shari is the driving force behind Core CLE - Certified Advanced Level Lagree Trainer

​

Her passion for movement started early. Growing up in Cleveland, she danced through childhood and later immersed herself in the hottest fitness scenes in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. Along the way, she earned elite certifications and kept her finger on the pulse of cutting-edge fitness trends.

A chance workout during a Miami trip changed everything. One minute into the intense Lagree wheelbarrow move, Shari knew this was the workout Cleveland  was missing...challenging, revolutionary, and unlike anything else in the city. Determined to bring it home, she made it her mission to introduce Cleveland to Lagree Fitness and create a space where clients can experience transformation - physically and mentally - one class at a time. As the founder and leader of Core CLE, Shari is dedicated to shaping a fitness community that inspires, challenges, and empowers.
 
When she’s not at the studio, you’ll find her soaking up the Miami sun, enjoying walks with her man Hank, or savoring gnocchi at Nino’s.

Her walk-up song? "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty....an anthem that perfectly captures her relentless spirit.

​

Shari's classes are results-driven and powerful, with a sharp focus on alignment, strength, and helping you leave stronger than you came.

Elena has consistently regarded physical activity as an integral component of her life. From achieving her black belt in tae kwon do at the age of twelve to participating in competitive volleyball for the majority of her young adult years, pushing the boundaries of her physical and mental fortitude has long been an essential aspect of her daily routine. She initially encountered Lagree and Core CLE on a whim, and what had initially been an excuse to spend time with her mom and sister quickly morphed into her favorite part of her day. The challenge of the work out drew her in, the efficacy turned her into a fan. Nearly two years later, she began the journey to becoming a coach at Core CLE, hoping to take her love of Lagree and the studio to the next level.

When she's not coaching Lagree, you might find Elena trying out Cleveland's newest restaurants, playing cards with her family, or on the Mega right next to you!
