The fitness guru owns Sweatbox gym in Dundee
And from today, she's launching a monthly health and wellbeing column with The Scottish Sun online.
Here she'll share her tips for staying fit and strong - no matter what life throws at you.
And in her first column she tackles.
WELCOME to the first edition of 'Live Stronger, Live Longer — a column designed to cut through the noise and bring you clear, practical and science-backed tips to help you live a healthier life.
Whether you're just starting your wellness journey, getting back on track, or simply looking for smarter ways to care for your body, this space is for you.
I'll be your leader, Sheli McCoy.
I am a highly qualified health professional with a Masters in sports sciences, I'm a certified fitness trainer, a gym owner - I run SweatBox on Dundee's Camperdown road - and I've been a coach and educator for 15 years now.
I've spent the last decade helping people feel stronger, move better, and eat in a way that supports real, lasting health—without the guilt, the gimmicks, or the pressure to be perfect.

Health is a feeling and a status not a body weight or size.
Each edition, I'll bring you advice that's grounded in science, answer some FAQs from clients I've worked with and offer suggestions on getting active, improving food choices, exercises for each muscle group and practical advice that's easy to apply—whether it's how to make your lunch work harder for your energy levels, how to build a simple fitness habit that lasts, or how to stay healthy without feeling overwhelmed.
Scots Gladiator star Sheli McCoy reveals bizarre fan requests that left her gobsmacked
Step one - Let's start with one quick win.
Want to improve your mood, digestion and hunger levels in 60 seconds?
Start drinking a full glass of water first thing in the morning, before you actually know what's going on, eyes half shut, just sink a whole pint of water.
It's one of the simplest, most overlooked health habits — and a great foundation for bigger changes as it directly helps reduce signals often confused as hunger, offers improved cognitive function, improves digestive activity and can elevate your mood!
HOW EASY IS THAT?!!
Health isn't about extremes. It's about building small habits that come off the back of a deliberate target.
So challenge one - seven days of one pint of water every morning and if you complete it I want to know.
Post your achievement and tag me on Instagram @shelimccoy_official or Facebook @shelimccoyfitness using the hashtag #livestronger
Can wait to work with you all and for new habits to help us all Live Stronger and Live Longer.
