MEET US

We’re best friends and business partners, changing the world by awakening women to their greater potential.

Hey girl! We’re Lu Crenshaw and Shantell Dayton, co-founders of Dropgym. Together, we created Camp17 based on over 40 years of combined coaching experience, and mentoring women in fitness and martial arts. As successful as we’ve been training women to be fit, we’ve always known there’s more.

There's a woman inside of you dying to get out—but do you know all of who she is? What she's like? Will you go after her?

We help women learn how to connect with their bodies, take risks, do hard things they didn’t know they could do, and bring transformation to every area of their lives.

Our Passion

To see you…

  • Become fully connected to your body, your purpose, and your passion. 

  • Start believing differently in yourself, your relationships, your life, and your world.

  • Change the lens through which you see yourself, your body, fitness and failure. More compassion, less criticism. More discipline, less punishment.

  • Learn to know and connect with yourself, rather than relying on external measurements like fad diets, scales, your Fitbit, or counting calories and steps to achieve your health goals.  

…live fully alive.

We call women out of mediocrity and into their fullest potential.

We are coaches, athletes, writers and speakers based out of the Pacific Northwest. For over a decade we have committed our lives to motivating and inspiring those around us. We firmly believe that inside of every woman is potential far beyond anything she could ever imagine. We see each woman who walks into our gym, challenge her beyond her comfort zone, call her out of mediocrity and into the fullness of her potential. We are a tribe of fully alive, powerful, badass women championing each other to be better. Wanna join with us?

Hi there, my name is Lu!

It's actually Lucianne (LOO-shan), but everyone calls me Lu. Thanks for being here. I am passionate about seeing you come alive, and I mean really, really come alive!

At the age of 29, I was tired of my mundane life and wanted more. I had been searching for purpose, chasing money and success. It left me empty. There was a woman inside of me and she was dying to get out. So, I went on a journey and I found her. She is joyful, playful, peaceful, free, and overflowing with love.

Do you ever look in the mirror and want to truly know the woman looking back at you? I've made it my goal in life to walk beside others, calling them up and out of their mundane and into the fullness of their dreams and purpose. What are the deepest longings of your heart? What do you dream about? What were you created for? You really were made to change the world!

I believe that fitness and nutrition are some of the most powerful tools for humanity, able to unlock the potential inside every person emotionally, mentally and physically. I want to give a little nudge to the apathetic, encourage the faint of heart, and help strengthen the weak. The journey is not always easy, but it will always worth it. Join me?

Hi friend! I’m Shantell.

I love the gift of laughter! I enjoy creating spaces where people don't take themselves too seriously, and are unafraid to take the shovel and dig a little deeper to unbury their full potential.

I have been training and coaching for over 15 years as an award-winning martial arts instructor and coach. I am passionate about seeing my athletes and clients grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I love to awaken women to themselves and impact their lives with friendship and joy.

When I’m not drinking coffee or laughing at myself, you can find me teaching and inspiring women of all ages how to connect with their hearts and find life in life!

My most recent fitness and martial arts endeavor is a cardio-kickboxing class at Dropgym called KickFIT! This is a unique and high-energy fitness class with a variety of routines and movements. You will kick, punch, and move a lot—and leave feeling worked, confident, and happily exhausted! Join the fun and learn some new self defense moves to keep in your back pocket.
