About Sheldon

I help black LGBTQIA+ people feel at one with their training so they can reduce stress and celebrate strength. I founded Untitled Fitness in 2018 to tailor group and personal training specific to each individual.

I started training in 2015 with no equipment, a 30-day DVD and a little bit of living room space. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but when I started to modify for myself and what that meant for my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing I truly fell in love with moving my body through calisthenics (bodyweight training), weight training and mobility work. In the process of getting to know my own abilities and limitations, I took a dive into researching physiology, nutrition and coaching to share skills and knowledge with others.

Fast forward to today - I'm a LGBTQI+ body affirming trainer who wants individuals to build strength while training injury risk free. I’m passionate about properly communicating with clients to understand their preferences, abilities and lifestyle in real-time, so that training can bring real challenge, fun and sustainability for life.
