Shawn Smith excels at what he does. He challenges, motivates, and inspires me to be my best in workout sessions. He designs workouts to keep my interest level high and the mix is always energizing. He has a strong background and is professional in his approach, and he is always looking to increase his knowledge base to benefit clients by bringing new and interesting elements to workouts. He's on top of his game - I feel fortunate to be working out under his guidance and have tremendous respect for his expertise. I have a great rapport with Shawn and I know he wants me to excel. I look forward to our sessions and leave every time feeling elevated, with a real sense of achievement.

I started working with Shawn in February 2017. From my initial consultation, I knew Shawn’s coaching style would be a great fit for me. We set goals together and Shawn did a great gob of modifying my training plan to account for temporary injuries and lifestyle influences. I appreciate his approach to integrating scientific research and holistic wellness practices into his nutrition recommendations. In our time together, I have lost about 20 lbs and more than 10% of my body fat. More importantly, Shawn has taught me important injury prevention techniques and shared resources and information that will serve me in maintaining a healthier lifestyle for the long term.

I had some of my best experiences training with Shawn. He’s consistent, discipline and knowledgeable. I followed his training regimen, 3x a week.. within a month or two, I started getting compliments from people at the gym on my abs!!

I highly recommend anyone interested in taking their health and physical shape to the next level, wherever you are at.

I was hesitant to start a personal training program due to the cost, but the introductory session with Shawn changed all of that. I realized that my body was worth the investment. Shawn analyzed my diet and helped direct me to healthier choices. My FAVORITE thing about Shawn is his training style! I was working through some injuries and Shawn helped modify exercises so that I still worked the muscle group at hand and in turn strengthened my body to surpass the injury struggle and actually heal my body. He never let me quit, always pushed me and to this day, the best trainer I’ve ever had!!! His anatomical knowledge is incredible and he obviously leads by example!

Shawn was my personal trainer when he lived in Tucson. He made a huge and lasting difference in my life, especially in my attitude about working out, about nutrition and total life style choices. He taught me how to integrate working with him at the gym, taking that back home and on the road when I traveled for work, for a total appreciation of strength, flexibity, stamina and nutrition. Shawn is patient and smart, keeping up with science and i innovation.
I miss him and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Shawn and training with him for over 20 years. His concept of functional training, and proper nutrition are spot on. If you're looking at not only to lose weight, but make a lifestyle change that will improve your body, mind, and attitude I highly recommend giving Shawn Smith a call.

Shawn was amazing. His knowledge of nutrition coupled with his training helped me better understand what I needed to do to live a healthier life. After working with him for three months my cholesterol lowered to manageable numbers, my chronic aches and pains went away.
