Does the word “fit” make you think of rail-thin women jogging in yoga pants? Or men with all muscles (and no neck) downing protein shakes? Let Tha Compound Movement off up your ideas around health while sharing some laughs with cool people. We hope to challenge the stereotype of what fitness looks like in order to empower people to live their best life.

Founded by Shanelle Gabriel (Personal Trainer, Poet, Singer), this movement includes a podcast alongside Adrien O’Date (Personal Training Manager, Artist, Comedian) that explores multiple health & lifestyle topics through entertaining guests & medical experts, light-hearted but engaging discussions, shared research, and more. Tha Compound Movement will also be hosting special events, sharing tips & workouts on social media platforms, and more.

In the fitness world, a compound movement is defined as “an exercise that works multiple joints at once for maximal muscle recruitment, high nervous system activation, and a stimulus for growth.”

Likewise, the mission of Tha Compound Movement is to encourage others to maximize their quality of life, activate their own health journey, and stimulate growth in the number of people who are working to battle the rise of preventable illnesses, especially for people of color.
