VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON Fitness & Nutrition Coaching

My mission is to help you feel AMAZING in your body and to improve wellness for women!

With perimenopause starting as early as our early 30s, it’s essential that we get the right training and nutrition as early as possible so our bodies are prepared for the changes we will experience through menopause. But whether you are in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, it’s never too late to start building the fit body of your dreams!

Through exercise, nutrition and lifestyle, aging like you never imagined is not only possible but probable! Whether your goal is to build sexy muscle, lose body fat, look incredible for a specific event, love your body or stay committed to a fit lifestyle, I can help get you there!

Why work with me?

I help women get lean and strong while transforming their health!

My focus is to work virtually with women age 30 and up. If you’re in your 30’s how do you want to look and feel when your in your 40’s and 50’s? The different stages of menopause can affect your body and mind. Getting into a good fitness routine now will make your transition smoother.

Over the years many women confide, “what they used to do to get back in shape doesn’t work anymore.” If you find yourself struggling with hormone issues, you’re definitely NOT alone.

My one-on-one Strong by Shawn Fitness coaching is for anyone who is looking for a different kind of personal training program that is effective and sustainable. I’ve been training women of all ages for several years and I always start by understanding where you’re at now.

I’ll help you find your absolute strongest “why” before you even start. People with realistic, inspiring and specific fitness goals are more likely stick it out, even when it gets hard.

Lifestyle

I want you to learn new habits that you find enjoyable and can sustain the rest of your life. This isn’t a diet; it’s about continuing to feel better year after year.
