Hello...

I’m Chantel Oakley—a wife and mom to 4 boys, a health and fitness coach, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate dedicated to helping women build strength, confidence, and balance in a way that fits their busy lives.

​

With over 15 years in the fitness industry, I’ve worked with US Nike Sports, the 30 Day Fitness App, the FitExpo, and YogaFit, coaching women to move, fuel, and care for their bodies without guilt or burnout. As a certified health coach, I know firsthand that extreme workouts aren’t the answer—sustainable, effective movement is.

​

That’s why I created Ignite Yoga Strength—a follow-along program for women who want to feel strong, energized, and confident without high-impact, time-consuming workouts.

​

Because fitness should be simple, sustainable, and built for real life.

My Story

For most of my life, I thought strength meant doing more, giving more, and never slowing down. I believed that if I wasn’t constantly pushing forward—as a mom, wife, leader, fitness professional, volunteer, and friend—then I was falling behind. So, I poured myself into everything and everyone, believing that if I just worked hard enough, I could hold it all together.

​

But I couldn’t.

​

The weight of trying to be everything for everyone eventually caught up with me. I was exhausted—not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My body started breaking down, my energy disappeared, and no matter how much effort I put in, I felt like I was running on empty. I had ignored my own needs for too long.

​

I knew how to push, but I didn’t know how to rest. I knew how to show up for others, but I didn’t know how to care for myself. I had spent years striving, but I had no idea how to receive grace—for my body, my mind, or my soul.

​

Something had to change.

​

I started learning how to listen to my body instead of fighting it. I let go of the belief that I had to earn my worth through exhaustion. I began moving in a way that restored me instead of drained me, and I started treating myself with the same care and kindness I gave to everyone else.

That shift didn’t just change my health—it changed my life.

​

It also shaped my career. I went on to work with US Nike Sports, the 30 Day Fitness App, the FitExpo, and YogaFit, coaching women just like me—women who wanted to feel strong but didn’t want to burn themselves out in the process.

​

That’s why I created Ignite Yoga Strength—for women who have pushed too hard for too long, who are tired of doing more but feeling worse, and who are ready to build strength in a way that works with their body, not against it.

​

💡 You don’t have to push harder—just move smarter.
💡 You don’t have to prove your worth—just learn to care for yourself.
💡 You don’t have to do this alone.

​

If this resonates with you, you’re in the right place. Let’s build strength—not just in our bodies, but in the way we care for ourselves with grace, patience, and kindness.
