Shawn Fears

As a certified personal trainer I thought I had all the information I needed to be a well-rounded athlete. Before I started working with Shawn, I hadn't realized how truly limited I was. I was following the same routines time after time. I would do the same muscle splits at the gym, never really pushing beyond the weight I had been pressing for a year. I was also training for my first marathon and had serious pain in my left knee. I wasn't tuned in to my body at all and didn't practice mobility techniques and stretching. Needless to say, I was pretty clueless. It took a month with Shawn to help me get past my mobility issues with lots of stretching and foam rolling. My knee pain went away in a matter of weeks and I was so excited when I could finally complete a full squat. We also focused on strengthening my weaknesses. Every session was meticulously planned to push me to my limits and far beyond. There were times when I would get so frustrated and shout "I can't do it," but Shawn would push me that much harder. Soon I learned to never use those words again! My confidence, as well as my lifts began to skyrocket. I went from Sumo Deadlifting 185lbs. to 275lbs. in one month. It was unbelievable progress. Today I am so proud of the work we have accomplished over the last four months and I am more than ecstatic to see where we will be in the next four months!

Shawn has multiple certifications including MMA, High school strength and conditioning, ISSA, NASM, and the list goes on and on. What does that mean for you? Injury free results as fast as you can let go and get some work done son!

I been working with Shawn for a year now. Not just training with Shawn, just being around him you will gain alot knowledge about the body and fitness and how it all works together. Personal training is not just a hobby to him, it is a lifestyle and he has a strong passion for fitness. I train with him for that reason, I want the same intesity and passon going into my workouts and motivating me to be on the same level as he is. Shawn is very honest and straight to the point. If you don't understand a certain part of the workout or you dont know why you doing it, Shawn explains why and how to do things and if he dosen't know he will tell where to find the answer. For example, I injured my back a 8 of months ago and been going to physical therapy for 4 months with no relief of pain. I told shawn about my problem and he refered me to a read a book on how to prehab and rehab your bak and a designed a workout for me for my back. Since then, my back pain has stop for the most part and improve my flexability. Thanks to Shawn, I can start working out again without pain.

Motivation never has been a problem me when working out (I train now). I go to gym and naturally I want to get bigger and stronger. How is that different than anyone else? It's not. Are they wasting their time? After having Shawn as my trainer, I can say they are. For example, what is water? Something you drink and hydrate yourself with. If Shawn was chemist, he wouldn't hesitate to tell you, "No, it's 2 hydrogen atoms, and oxygen." That is his approach to personal training, it is an exact science to him. If you come with the right mindset, then Shawn will do rest, just pick weights up and put them down when he says so. I will guarantee you will reach your goals. "Just stick to the plan."

1. In the 3.5 months working out with Shawn I lost 5 inches of myabdominal area.2. With Shawn's workouts I came off of two Blood Pressure medications.
3. I also knocked 3 minutes off of my run time

Shawn,
I just wanted to thank you for your impromptu tutoring yesterday afternoon with me. The few exercises you showed me are ones that no doctor has even shown me.
Having a better understanding of my right hip and lower back issues, and knowing how to remedy keeping them loosened up is invaluable. It explains why I have issues in all the other spots that are compensating for that stiffness.
Keep up the good work! I will be retesting in mid-August and the help you have provided me will help me succeed.
I cc’d your leaders so they are reminded you are an asset to this Wing and the work you do is much appreciated.
