The Coaching Team

Every CoachHas Lived It.

Credentials backed by personal experience — not just certifications.

Every coach on this team has stood on stage, transformed their own body, and worked through the same challenges the women they coach are navigating right now. That is not a coincidence. It is a standard.

Shannyn Creekmore

Certified Fitness Trainer & Nutritionist

Shannyn Creekmore is an IFBB Bikini Pro, Certified Fitness Trainer, and Nutritionist who brings over a decade of experience to every client she works with. Her journey with Jennifer Kersten Fitness began in 2013 — not as a coach, but as a client. That experience gave her something most coaches never have: a complete understanding of what it actually feels like to go through this process from the inside.

I know what it takes to step on stage at a professional level. I also know what it takes to rebuild after the stage — and that work is just as demanding and just as important.

Shannyn's coaching experience spans from amateur competitors finding their footing in their first prep, to seasoned athletes competing at the professional level. She understands the unique physical and psychological demands of the sport at every stage — and she brings that understanding into every coaching relationship with precision, empathy, and an evidence-based approach that prioritises long-term health alongside competitive results.

As a coach, Shannyn does not separate the physique from the person. She works with athletes to build stage-ready bodies while reinforcing the mindset, habits, and sustainability that keep them competing — and thriving — for years.

Devre Gibson

Certified Fitness Trainer & Nutritionist

Devre Gibson is a Bikini Champion, Certified Fitness Trainer, and Nutritionist whose own 80-pound transformation is the foundation of everything she brings to her clients. She does not coach from theory — she coaches from lived experience, having navigated the physical and emotional demands of transformation firsthand before ever stepping into a coaching role.

I have been where my clients are. I know what it feels like to stand at the beginning of the process and not be able to see the other side. I also know what it feels like to get there — and that is what I hold onto for every woman I work with.

Since joining Jennifer Kersten Fitness in 2021, Devre has evolved from athlete to coach — bringing a depth of understanding to the transformation journey that only comes from having walked it yourself. Her approach blends empathy with structure, combining evidence-based programming with genuine human connection that meets clients exactly where they are.

Devre specialises in helping women build strength, confidence, and stage presence — while fostering the balance, sustainability, and self-belief that carries them well beyond any single competition or program. She understands that the physical transformation and the internal transformation happen together, and she coaches both with equal intention.
