Today we’d like to introduce you to Shellie Edington.
Shellie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Coach of our adult and kids’ classes. Shellie began coaching gymnastics at age 14 and she was hooked. Shellie founded and operated the mobile gym Tumblin4Kids from 2000 – 2020. Taking the gym to kiddos in daycares and parks & recreations all over the central Ohio area. The Tumblin4Kids program utilized fun, high-energy, non-competitive gymnastic drills for children ages 2 -12.
In 2010 to gain strength and the ability to keep doing the job she loved she began taking CrossFit classes and went on to compete in the CrossFit Games Masters division from 2013-2017. She placed 1st in 2016, becoming a world champion at the age of 51. In 2016, she became the corporate fitness trainer for CoverMyMeds. Shellie has over 30 years of coaching experience in gymnastics and CrossFit. She is CrossFit level 2 certified and CrossFit Gymnastics certified. Recently she opened a CrossFit gym on her property to film live/on-demand classes, as well as train clients in an exclusive, private environment, offering customized programming and nutritional guidance.
Shellie loves helping people realize that they can become the very best version of themselves by making sound nutritional choices, taking time to exercise, and getting adequate sleep. Life often gets in the way, making those choices difficult if not impossible, and it comes down to the strength of our resolve and the support of those on the journey with us. Shellie wants to help and she has been successful in doing so for herself and others.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I began coaching because I love it and am good at it. I could also arrange my life around it to be home for my husband and 3 daughters. Family is the top priority in my life. Being able to have a career built around family has been wonderful and at times frustrating. I sometimes feel my career moves in stops and starts. I am now in the season of grand-babies and aging parents. Dividing my time between family and career is always a challenge. Being able to add online classes has been a way to maximize my time and help more people. As we move out of the pandemic, more people are wanting in-person training so determining how many hours I spend in the gym is the real challenge. I am thankful that I have it! I’d rather have the problem of too many clients than not enough.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

What do you like and dislike about the city?
Regarding Columbus Like: The food choices, energy, and vibe, it is always invigorating!
Dislike: The traffic and craziness.
Being in the country now for almost 2 years and only 5 minutes from downtown Granville or Newark. I have very little patience for finding a parking place, dealing with road rage, etc…
