Shantille Connolly

While living in San Diego for graduate school, Shantille saw a huge group of moms with strollers on the bay and thought, "I want to be in that group when I have kids one day." Fast forward six years, she moved back to Davis and joined Fit4Baby while pregnant with her first baby. Fit4Mom helped her foster a community during Covid and the amazing workouts helped her stay sane. She eventually became an instructor and loves teaching Boost classes that challenge mamas to realize how strong they truly are.

Shantille works for UC Davis as a Health Promotion Specialist and aims to embed well-being in policies, practices and places. She has two kids, Cooper and Colin, and you can catch them regularly causing chaos in their Woodland neighborhood. She loves moving her body in pretty much any way, but especially likes lifting weights, walking, hiking and doing yoga. She recently fell in love with gardening and will usually say yes to an adventure.
