Why I’m Changing from King’s Health and Fitness to Strong by Shawn Fitness

King hasn’t been my last name for several years. However I kept the business name because that’s who a lot of people knew me by for in-person training. My focus now is to work virtually with women age 30 and up. I’ve found this is where the vast amount my experience comes from.

GOALS & VISION

Why am I SO Passionate About This Lifestyle?

Maybe people don’t truly appreciate their health until they don’t have it anymore.

I had many health struggles at a young age in a short amount of time. As a result I learned early to appreciate being healthy. I also have a small…no, BIG… fear of hospitals! I want to do everything I can to proactively take care of my health and remain independent.

I had a meltdown when I turned 30!! I remember feeling like I was getting old and life as I knew it was over. As ridiculous as that sounds now, that birthday may have flipped a switch in my mind. I didn’t ever want a birthday to suck like that again.

If you have a fear of going into a gym, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, but I promise it’s temporary, and I will show you how to be confident in any gym environment. I was 33 years old and terrified when I first joined a gym. I brought my daughter (who was 4 years old at the time) to the day care. I got a few introductory sessions with a trainer.

I started making friends at the gym and felt more confident in my abilities. Over the months and years I fell in love with how my body changed. I can honestly say my body kept getting better with age as I built more muscle.

In my late 40’s I became interested in doing a bodybuilding bikini competition. Most people told me I couldn’t do it because I wouldn’t be able to build enough muscle.

All it takes is people to tell you what you CAN’T do to make you want it more! So I hired a coach and that started my bodybuilding career.

MY BEST TIP FOR ANYONE STRUGGLING

I’ve always had a schedule that I stick to religiously. I find that consistency is huge to being successful long term. There will be days you don’t feel like training; those are the days you have to fight through and do your workout. They make you mentally stronger!

Whatever I’ve gone through in my life, good times or bad, I’ve been able to rely on one thing: lifting weights for quality of life. It centers me when I feel anxious so it’s good for my mental health. And I know I’m doing everything possible to be independent and not living my later years in a nursing home. This is my retirement and insurance plan in one!
