Here is what some of our clients have to say about their Fitness Journey:


“

I have had the privilege of working with Coach Shawna for over a year.  She took a “Whole Body” 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.

Open communication with a coach is super important. This, coupled with Shawna’s strong desire to continually broaden her knowledge base is what makes her such a great coach.

Shawna has such a genuine passion for helping people, with her strong multi-sport background and serving as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, she had gained the ability to coach a wide range of ages, abilities, and goals. From a teenage swimmer to a 70 year old attempting a marathon for the first time are all within Shawna’s wheelhouse; not all coaches have this!

One huge thing Shawna did, specific for me, was help clean up my running form.  I’m a runner who, if you saw running along, would think I have good running form, but Shawna 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 injuries happened in the first place and knew what to do to keep the injury from plaguing anymore of my running goals. In our sessions, Shawna would have me run and watch for run gate deficiencies and have correct form issues on spot. It was amazing how quickly I could feel a difference. Of course, it takes time for the body to fully adapt but as I ran along in the 2019 BMW Half Marathon, I thought to myself “Wow, I’m holding form well up these hills, Thanks Shawna!” 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’m and now enjoying some of the best running form of my life!

Happy Running!

I met Shawna approximately 2.5 years ago and wanted to improve my overall physical strength but in particular my golf swing.  At the time I was about 162 lbs and I had some pretty severe back issues.  I am 66 years old and my hope is to play golf and be active well into my 80’s.  Shawna is first of all an exceptional person.  She understands the human body and condition from nutrition to functionality.  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.  Over the period we have worked together, I have dramatically improved my core strength.  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.  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.
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.

I hired Coach Shawna so I could focus on what I enjoy and do best…training and racing. For me, the single most important aspect of having a Shawna is that she takes all the guesswork out of my training regimen. She designs my workouts to meet my goals and I simply have to execute! I give her feedback and she does the critical thinking and planning! She is awesome and it has been a rewarding and learning experience. Don’t over think it…and ease up on all that internet research. Stick to the Plan! Thanks Coach Shawna…looking forward to 2016. As she always says…Yours In Health!
