Before starting, my goals were weight loss along with gaining more energy and strength, but I struggled with motivation, proper form, and recurring injuries. Since beginning coaching, I’ve seen a noticeable increase in strength and daily energy—I now feel my best when I’m moving consistently—and I’ve developed better movement and eating habits overall. The most helpful part has been the accountability and having someone guide me through the entire process, especially someone who is honest about timelines and what real progress looks like. What makes this different from anything I’ve tried before is the attention to detail—Shane makes sure every exercise is performed correctly so I get the full benefit, never rushes the process, and knows exactly when I’m ready to progress. I would absolutely recommend him because he’s restored my confidence in working out, and I feel significantly better than I did before. In the past, I dealt with injuries from being pushed too far, but Shane understands how the body works and trains accordingly. As a coach, he’s intelligent, kind, a great problem solver, and highly motivating. I’ve felt fully supported and held accountable throughout, especially with pre-scheduled workouts and consistent check-ins that keep me on track even during busy weeks.

I decided to start personal training because I needed a plan for the gym and wanted to become more comfortable using weights and machines. I have also struggled with back issues, so I was nervous using the machines and free weights. During my time with Shane, my back did not hurt me at all! He always made sure my form was correct. During our first session, Shane asked me my goals and then consistently made sure I was reaching them. He even took the time to write out a gym plan for me on the days I did not see him. I highly recommend Shane as a trainer!

Working with Shane has been great. He consistently tailors our workouts to fit my unique physical limitations and goals. We regularly revisit exercises I’ve struggled with, making it easy to see the progress I’ve made over time. His ability to adapt and support my specific needs has been truly impressive.

" I started training with Shane at 50, and I can honestly say the progress I’ve made in a year has surprised me. He’s helped me focus on form, stick to a plan, and actually see results. He’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and really pays attention to what your body can (and can’t) do—while still pushing you when it counts. He’s got that hardcore gym mentality, but somehow makes it fun and keeps you learning the whole time."

Squat: 155 → 235

Bench: 95 → 145

Deadlift: 155 → 225

I’ve always liked the idea of strength training, but trying to navigate it on my own felt confusing. Which exercises? How many reps and sets? How much rest? When do I move up in weight? Working with Shane not only gave me the answers to all of these questions, but he also helped me focus on physical cues to improve my form and reduce the risk of injury or soreness so that I can stay consistent. Now I’m the strongest that I’ve ever been at age 37, the pain in my knees and ankles is gone (even when I’m lifting heavy!), and I believe Shane’s simple, comprehensive program will allow me to keep getting stronger and healthier.

Before starting, my main goals were to gain strength and improve my endurance. So far, I’ve seen great progress—not just physically, but mentally as well. I feel stronger and more confident in the gym, and that confidence carries over into my daily life. The most helpful part of coaching has been the accountability; having someone keep me on track each week has made a huge difference in staying consistent.

What makes this experience different from anything I’ve tried before is working with a trainer who truly understands the science behind strength training. The workouts are purposeful, and I can clearly see the progress in my strength. As a coach, he brings both knowledge and a results-driven approach that really works. I’ve felt supported and held accountable throughout the entire process, and the structure and commitment to completing each workout have kept me disciplined and focused. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is ready to invest in themselves and become a better version of who they are.

Shane has been fantastic! Easy to follow plans that aren’t cluttered with obscure exercises, a nice back to basics with a few modifications here and there to spice up the workouts. He is very knowledgeable and easily accessible to ask questions. Highly recommend working with Shane if you want to achieve your fitness goals, no matter what they are!

Body Weight 340 lbs → 293 lbs

I have been working with Shane for 6 months. Working with Shane completely changed how I approach fitness. When I started, I was  really not in shape, I was down about my looks and how I felt about myself. When I showed up he motivated me to just keep going and to keep working at it. I went  3 times a week with him. When I started, I was 340 pounds, now I’m 293 and still going.

What stands out the most about Shane is how he tailors everything to me. Every session feels purposeful, not random.  Shane pushes me when I need it and adjusts when I don’t have it that day. I’ve learned proper form, built confidence, and actually look forward to training now.

If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress, I highly recommend Shane. Shane is your man.
