Success Stories - Shawna K

Shawna has never been pushy or high pressure. She simply leads by example and shares her knowledge, which is extensive in fitness, nutrition and in the struggles that many of us have when it comes to losing weight, being fit and being the best version of ourselves.

After some time working out and an ongoing struggle to lose 20 lbs that had crept up on me as I aged, I reached out to Shawna. She had consistently sent the message that just because middle age is creeping up, the scale doesn’t need to. It was contrary to what I had been told that I should just give up and accept the fact that I would be frumpy and overweight through my later years. I wasn’t even fifty yet and I was hobbling every morning from inflammation in my Achilles’ tendons. I thought, “this is not how it has to be! I’m too young to be so decrepit”! And Shawna was living proof of that.

She is around my age but fit, strong and healthy. I wanted what she had and what many of her clients had achieved. Through one of her challenges, Shawna was there for me guiding me to become accountable and take charge of my health. Again, she was never pushy or high pressure, never “over indulgent” when I was struggling or having a hard time. Simply present with a “you are not alone, how can I help, I am here for you” attitude that I have come to love about her. With her guidance I have reached my goals, had some setbacks and come back stronger because of her never ending support.

I have become a permanent fixture coaching with Shawna. I hope she never stops doing what she does. The lives she has helped change for the better are many and immeasurable. She has not only empowered me but also indirectly, my family. My children have a happier, healthier mom and my husband has a wife who feels young and vibrant at the age of fifty! Thank you Shawna! You truly are one in a million!

I’ve known Shawna for over 12 years.

When I had my children, like many mothers, my fitness went on the back burner. I had gained some unwanted weight and I knew I needed to get back on track. I looked to Shawna and was thrilled with my results: I was healthier, stronger, faster, and more confident.

In fact, Shawna inspired me to pursue my own path of fitness coaching. I’m currently one of her trainers at her fitness boot camp.

Finally, I would recommend Shawna to anyone who is looking to improve his or her health and wellness. She’s an expert with programs designed for everyone. Shawna is a motivator that will empower you to reach your goals.

Shawna is an incredible role model for making fitness and health a life style priority. She cares deeply about her business and clients and constantly looks at ways to raise the bar by bringing new approaches, equipment and exercises to the gym. Shawna constantly inspires me to stay fit, get stronger and grow personally as a fitness coach.

Dear Shawna,

I want to tell you that you inspire me daily. You have such a wonderfully positive attitude and are so encouraging. I’ve been looking for a program just like yours and have come across many other exercise programs that don’t make it possible for every woman to do them – nor are they very supportive. I wasn’t in bad physical shape before hand but it had been a while since exercising and I had gained peri-menopausal belly fat. After nearly 3 weeks on Phase 1 exercises (3X per week) and an altered version of the 3 day diet rotation (went super low carb as I don’t metabolize them well), I’ve lost nearly a pant size and much of the belly bulge!

I’m incredibly grateful that I found you and your program. I have friends who also struggle with belly fat and have highly recommended you.

Thank you for all that you give Shawna! You’re making a huge difference in women’s lives.

For years my wife and I have gone through spurts of hating Shawna, and that’s a good thing! This happens when we are almost done with one of her killer workouts. But funny thing – when the workout is over we love her again when we see the results!

Shawna’s strongest point – whether in her publications, online, on the phone, or in person – is her amazing ability to motivate you to go where you weren’t sure you could go. My first encounter with her was one of her books (on doing more pushups) which I bought online, and from those workouts came more encouragement and this finally led to my becoming a trainer myself.

Shawna doesn’t just want to put stuff together that looks good, she wants it to work for each person who uses it, and I know from experience that when you have questions she’s ready with her reassurance and reinforcement of what you’re trying to achieve. She thrills to come alongside and walk through things with people – a skill that comes from her desire to see people do well.

She’s good. Even so, she will always remain the “Queen of Misery” around our house.

Shawna K is the Real Deal. She will inspire, motivate, and encourage you to be the best person you want to be. She can be humorous when it’s time for laughter and crack that whip when you fall behind. (not too hard….just enough to keep you focused) (She is actually somewhat of a softie, but don’t tell her I ever said that) Shawna K leads by example. She really cares about each and every one of her clients.

Thank you Shawna for making me a more physically fit and happier person for life.

You are the BEST.

It is impossible for me to even begin to tell you the number of ways that Shawna’s program and virtual coaching have changed my life in just a couple of short paragraphs so I’ll stick to the highlights of my journey. Through her Challenge Workouts I have managed to regain control of my health and waistline in ways that I know I will be able to sustain. Why? Because my workouts are never boring and are often really fast (some days as little as 12 minutes!). She has taught me the difference between being a slave to a treadmill and working effectively so that my muscles are burning fat all day long, not just while I’m working out. Trust me, through her workouts my body has turned into a fat burning machine!

In following Shawna’s program I’ve managed to trim 7″ from my waist, 7 1/4″ from below my waist, 3″ from my hips, 2 1/2″ from my thighs and 1 1/2″ from my arms. I’ve also lost 25.4 lb! But even better than that, at the age of 50 I am in the best shape of my life (this was confirmed just last week at my annual physical). I recently ran 10K and set a personal best for my time (a record that was set the year I turned 40) and I hadn’t run in 7 months! To be able to shatter a record that was set by my ten years younger self, at a time in my life when most women are told to accept that they are supposed to be slowing down, well there isn’t a food on earth that tastes as good as that feels! (Ok, bacon comes pretty close, but because I work out like this I still get to enjoy it occasionally).

So, if you’re looking for a program that WORKS, I am a living testament that with a little bit of your own sweat equity Shawna’s works wonders! I’m so excited for you to give it a try, and for YOU to embark on this journey that gives you your life back too.

I love your workouts. I have accomplished so many firsts with your program. My strength has increased in every exercise! And my workouts are shorter so I have more time in my day to get other things done. I’m so happy to have purchased your program!

A very good friend first introduced me to Shawna K’s programs and I can say they definitely WORK!

I‘ve lost over 12 lbs and 17 inches. Her workouts are enjoyable, doable and portable as is the eating program.

Following the programs Shawna developed has me in the best condition of my life at almost 60 years of age. Even my doctor is impressed 🙂 This is definitely a lifestyle I intend to stick with!
