Meet Your Trainer
Hi! I’m Shirley O’Connor and I’ve spent my entire career making people feel good! After retiring from hosting drive-time morning radio shows I dove into the world of fitness. I started with my first “baby” Black Dog Yoga - a thriving boutique yoga studio in Los Angeles. During that time I created and launched The Mermaid Fit Club - a water aerobics class for people who like to work out! It became a sensation. After selling the yoga studio my husband and six-year-old daughter and I moved to Bali where I taught yoga and water aerobics at a retreat center. Upon returning to Los Angeles we opened Blazing Saddles spin studio, and I continued my Mermaid Fit Club classes, which just got busier and busier. It’s such fun times, and a great workout, and people just love the community of it. In my spare time (ha ha) I also host national and international retreats and host classes on luxury cruise liners.
