Birth Date: February 21
How long have you been working out at Bodyshop Athletics X? About 9 months
What is your favorite food? Ribeye steak
What is your favorite exercise? Olympic lifts
Did you have any goals? How have you accomplished them? I have trained Brazilian jiu jitsu for over 10 years. I realized that I needed more resistance training to compliment my jiu jitsu training in order to avoid repetitive motion injuries. Since starting at Bodyshop Athletics X, I feel stronger and get injured much less.
I compete in Spartan races and my training at Bodyshop Athletics X has definitely helped with that activity too. The races are easier for me than ever before.
Why is working out important to you? What keeps you motivated to pursue health? Brazilian jiu jitsu and Spartan racing are both competitive activities and the training and instruction I receive at Bodyshop Athletics X has improved my performance in both.
What is one of your favorite or most memorable moments so far at Bodyshop Athletics X? There are too many to list. I work out with the 6:00 AM crew, also known as the Fun Bunch. There is never a dull moment with that group.
How would you describe your experience at Bodyshop Athletics X to a friend? Before settling in to the 6:00 AM class, I attended several classes with all the instructors. I never had a bad workout or experience. All of the coaches and staff are top notch and I always feel welcomed. The improvements in my performance in competitive activities has been significant. This is a great place to train whether it is to compliment other athletic activities or if this is your main exercise outlet.
Is there anything you would like to mention? I love the Olympic lifts and I would like to get enough people together for an adult barbell class. If anybody is interested, please let Jason know!
“Focused, driven, and a pleasure to work with. That's how I would describe Shayne. He's a part of our 6 AM group class which has deemed themselves, "The Fun Bunch." Shayne adds to the great dynamic of the class that includes guess that 80s rock band. In case you're wondering, Shayne has never lost! His knowledge of 80s hair bands is unrivaled. We also call him Mr. Adventure. His training prepares him for Spartan Races, Jujitsu, Sky Diving, and SCUBA Diving. One of the many things you can learn from Shayne is that consistency allows for continued progress!” - J.W.
