Meet The Owner
Faith-Fueled. Wellness-Driven. Empowering Women, Athletes & Families to Prevent, Protect & Prosper.
Shakyra Martin is the Owner and CEO of Embrace Body Fitness & Nutrition LLC, a women-only wellness center located in North Augusta, South Carolina. What began as a small women’s gym has now evolved into a Faith-Fueled Preventative Wellness Center a space where faith, fitness, and nutrition come together to help women prevent illness, protect their health, and prosper in every area of life.
Through Embrace Body’s rebrand, Shakyra has expanded beyond traditional fitness to offer preventative wellness programs, nutrition education, InBody and 3D body scans, family and youth wellness assessments, and personalized lifestyle services. Each program is designed to restore balance between body, mind, spirit, and nutrition, while building confidence and long-term health.
Born and raised in Johnston, South Carolina, Shakyra proudly served in the United States Air Force, where she developed the discipline, resilience, and leadership that now shape her approach to wellness. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and is currently pursuing her Master’s degree with the goal of becoming a Registered Dietitian, combining her academic training, professional experience, and unwavering faith to empower others on their journey to whole-body wellness.
Shakyra’s passion for helping women deepened through her own transformation overcoming divorce, depression, and single motherhood. Leaning on her faith in Jesus, she learned to embrace her imperfections, rebuild her strength, and walk boldly in her purpose: helping others see their bodies as sacred temples mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Beyond her business, Shakyra serves her community as a volleyball coach, leader in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and wellness advocate. Her mission is to help women not only transform their bodies but also build confidence, balance, and sustainable wellness for themselves and their families.
