I wish I was a better finance bro, and maybe I can make it to Wall Street one day.

I once saw my ex-colleague scrolling through Instagram while pretending to film a client, f**k me.

Referring to post and i quote ‘why the industry is royally f**ked’, one thing for sure about being in my role is that my clients deserve to be treated and respected well, and that means:
1. Delivering as much value as I can so that they can progress in and out of the gym.
2. Sharing as much as i know while saying “I don’t know but I’ll get back on that” on a topic I am not well versed in.
3. Guiding and finding solutions to work around their problems.

Can we start writing programs, being on time for client’s sessions while not scrolling through Instagram, isn’t that the least we can do?

Through my last few years of coaching, I’ve slipped up and learned from my mistakes, figuring out how i can best improve to serve my clients.

For some, it is a part time gig.

For me, it’s about creating a legacy and making an impact on someone because i love what i do.

No cookie cutter programs, just taking out the guesswork and assist the people i work with live to become the best possible version of themselves.

If you’re interested in working with me, link in bio or drop me a DM to get started.

Something to consider when it comes to health and fitness, you can’t just look at one aspect and generalise everything.

Consider all factors and improve them, compounding effect does wonders.

Sarah… you got me on my knees…

Thank you to .n.ember for this very memorable day where the stars aligned🙏🏽

Bulgarians or rear foot elevated split squat - whatever you wanna call it. Constantly butchered and from what I’m judging, wrongly set up a fair bit for people who don’t have the range to begin with.

Having the typical high set up of placing it on a bench is really not necessary for most, a small elevation with a platform/plate should do the trick to address things like mobility and stability.

Moving from point A to B is cool, but helping my clients to understand positions to facilitate the movements and what the exercise can provide for you BEST is what I do on the gym floor. Individualised set up before Intensity to always keep things safe and build confidence.

Note how much more hip flexion I’m getting and also not sitting ‘back’ in to my right knee with the different set up? That’s probably a lot more ideal given the inability to remove the back quad out of the equation.

Have centre of mass over front foot > keep it forward as you descend > pause and suffer!

Swipe for other exercises that allow you to bias the hips that allows you to push intensity and fail safely💪🏽

Guess it’s time for me to start putting up reviews so here it goes - working with Shawn has been a huge blessing, he has allowed me to grow in many stages of my career and also provided me with many problems to solve in this journey.

Left VS Right:
Bodyweight: 80kg ↘️74.9kg
Body fat %: 16.7% ↘️12.1%

It’s cut and dry, everything is binary. You either do it or you don’t.

Some of his big lifts numbers below and also getting down to 12% BF were the milestones for him in 2024:
135kg Trap Bar DL
28kg DB Bench Press
15kg Weighted Pull-ups
95kg Back Squats

The ‘problem’ with this whole fitness and health thing is instant gratification, but you just have to put the work in, and Shawn is an exemplar of that with his consistent hardwork.

One of those with new resolutions and need some accountability? Let’s work something out!🤝🏽
