Testimonials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what some of our clients have to say about their Fitness Journey:
\u201cI have had the privilege of working with Coach Shawna for over a year.  She took a \u201cWhole Body\u201d approach in the sense that she not only provided run specific running workouts, but included strength work specific to my needs.  Mindful coaching, and an extraordinary amount of time in endurance sport has given Shawna the ability to guide athletes to their goals while reducing injury risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One huge thing Shawna did for me, was cleaning up my running form.\u00a0 She was able to key in on some foot placement issues. They were not big but, over time, if they went un-corrected would cause me more running injuries. I have had some issues with my IT band, over the years, much of that simply went away because Shawna was able to figure out why these injury. It was amazing how quickly I could feel a difference.\u00a0 All of the running drills, specific work in the gym, and strengthening my posterior chain have made a HUGE improvement to my running. Simply, I cannot thank Shawna enough for the knowledge and time she had invested in me. I\u2019m and now enjoying some of the best running form of my life!\u201d
Happy Running!

\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>I met Shawna approximately 2.5 years ago and wanted to improve my overall physical strength but in particular my golf swing.\u00a0 At the time I was about 162 lbs and I had some pretty severe back issues.\u00a0 I am 66 years old and my hope is to play golf and be active well into my 80’s.\u00a0 Shawna is first of all an exceptional person.\u00a0 She understands the human body and condition from nutrition to functionality.\u00a0 She has carefully crafted and customized a training approach for me over this time to improve my overall wellbeing as well as to build me functionally to help improve my golf game.\u00a0 Over the period we have worked together, I have dramatically improved my core strength.\u00a0 This has translated into the ability to significantly improve my distance off the tee, general power as well as my overall golf stamina as related to my back.\u00a0 I average at least 4 rounds of golf per week without pain and stiffness, and I can say with great certainty that is a direct result of my conditioning and training with Shawna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Presently, I am in the best condition of an adult life and I owe a great deal of this to training with Shawna. My weight is down to 156 and my body fat has dropped as well.  I know I can get all the exercise direction from the internet, but without knowledge of physiology and physical balance, it’s hard to simply apply the right workouts at the right time.  Shawna can look at me when I walk in and warm up and pretty quickly ascertain my physical imbalances that need attention.  
 
If one weighs the expense of a personal trainer versus overall health, the return on your personal health investment is extraordinary.\u201c<\/strong>

\u201cI\u2019ve had the opportunity to train with Shawna for over a year, and the impact she\u2019s had on my health and daily life has been remarkable. When we first started, my goals were simple: improve my eating habits, build real strength, and feel better in my body. Shawna approached all of it with a thoughtful, whole\u2011person mindset. She didn\u2019t just hand me workouts \u2014 she taught me how to fuel properly, move with intention, and build muscle in a way that supported my lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets Shawna apart is her ability to understand exactly what your body needs and then design a plan that fits you perfectly. She pays attention to the details, adjusts when needed, and always explains the \u201cwhy\u201d behind what we\u2019re doing. Over the past year, I\u2019ve gained strength I didn\u2019t think was possible, improved my posture and mobility, and developed healthier habits that actually stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the physical changes, I feel more confident, more capable, and more energized in everything I do. Shawna is not only an exceptional coach \u2014 she\u2019s a genuinely caring person who is invested in your success. Training with her has been one of the best decisions I\u2019ve made for my long\u2011term health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
