OUR TEAM
Shari Carroll
Owner/Coach
Shari’s love for movement started early, and she hasn’t stopped since! Growing up in Cleveland, she danced her way through childhood, later exploring the hottest fitness scenes in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. Along the way, she picked up elite certifications and the latest trends—but it was a chance workout on a Miami trip that sparked something big. Just one minute into the intense Lagree wheelbarrow move, Shari knew this was the workout Cleveland needed: challenging, revolutionary, and like nothing else in the city.
Passionate about introducing Cleveland to the latest and greatest in fitness, Shari made it her mission to bring Lagree Fitness to the city. She created a space where Clevelanders can experience this transformative workout, redefining the local fitness scene—one cutting-edge workout at a time.
When she’s not at the studio, you’ll find Shari soaking up the Miami sun, enjoying walking her man Hank, or savoring gnocchi at Nino’s.
Shari's classes are exhilarating and powerful, with a focus on alignment to challenge you and leave you transformed.
