Prior to joining RBC I had never done any weight/strength training. My mode of exercise was using a recumbent bike at home 3-5x per week (when I could stay motivated to do it regularly). In addition to the lack of motivation to get on the bike (coupled with boredom) I was not getting results I wanted. I’ll admit I was hesitant to try RBC, I thought it would be too challenging, I’d be too uncoordinated to perform the exercises and I’d have to get up earlier in the morning…excuses, excuses! But I knew I had to try something that would provide my the opportunity to obtain the results I wasn’t currently getting…..so I tried a session. Three months later I am so happy I made the decision to try it out. I have gained muscle tone and coordination as well as lost weight and a total of 11 inches and counting! At the end of each workout I feel great (although fatigued)….and energized to start my day! Shawn has a way of inspiring and encouraging us to put forth 110% and is right there to ensure proper form and help us get the most out of each session. This is definitely a program that provides results as well as support all along the way.

There are 2 things I dislike.  Mornings and exercise.  I now do both religiously.  I started the 6 AM boot camp in September and so far I haven’t missed a workout.  It is hard at times to get up early but I do love getting my exercise out of the way and I have more energy during the day.  I am doing exercises that I thought I wasn’t capable of doing.  Shawn pushes me farther than I could ever push myself.  The variety of exercises ensures that you never do the same workout twice.  Shawn also guides me on nutrition and cardio for the off days.   Rochester Boot Camp has helped me lose 14 inches and 13 pounds in the first 3 months.  My clothes are getting big and many people have commented on my weight loss.  I can’t say I love mornings or exercise, but I will continue with this life change because I know this is what my body needs.  I highly recommend Shawn and Rochester Boot Camp…. they have changed my life!

FITNESS INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

      Over 15 yrs in the fitness industry focusing on personal training with clientele ranging from housewives,  collegiate and high school athletes, Professional Golfers, and business executives.  Designed and implemented group personal training programs for corporate fitness, high school teams and boot camp participants.  Also owned and managed local fitness centers for 8 yrs. 

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Fitness does not begin or end at the gym.  During the day there are thousands of obstacles and excuses keeping you from getting to where you want to be.  Implementing a solid training and nutrition plan that you can keep up with on a consistent basis will produce results and reinforce the impact of keeping your health and fitness a top priority.  My job is to help develop exercise and life strategies that will get you to your fitness goals as quickly and easily as possible.

Your body didn’t get into a de-conditioned state by eating dark greens and grilled chicken breast.  So in order to reach your fitness goals it may take a few sacrifices of changing of simple habits initially, but it becomes much easier and rewarding after a short while.
