Meet The Trainer – Shawn Goodman

SHAWN GOODMANNAIT C.P.T.

Background:

I played numerous competitive sports growing up, depending on the time of year. It’s been a passion of mine from a young age.

Experience:

17 years

Training Philosophy:

Keep it simple, being consistent over a long period of time is the key to achieving your goals.

Client Success Stories:

I had a male client who was living with a great deal of pain and could barely walk around. He was on a fair amount of prescription painkillers every day to perform daily living tasks. After training consistently for 6months, he could get off most of the meds and could go out and enjoy activities and sports he had not been able to play since high school.

Advice for Beginners:

Don’t try to take on too much too fast. Shoot to be better than you were last week; small changes over time add up.

Overcoming Challenges:

Being honest with them is a huge part of this. Clients need to know the work that’s required to achieve their goals. You don’t have to be perfect; just slowly keep improving. It takes time to develop a consistent routine, and don’t beat yourself up if everything doesn’t go exactly as planned.

Favorite Workout:

Multi-joint movements that get the body moving in multiple planes of motion. Doing the same “comfy” workout week in and week out will hinder your progress quickly.

Personal Fitness Goals:

Fully rehab and strengthen my upper and lower body for next golf season. I suffered a few injuries this year that have limited my body.

Hobbies:

I enjoy playing golf in the summer months and Drag racing snowmobiles during the winter months.

Inspirational Figure:

Dan John

Fun Fact:

I’m a shareholder of the NFL’s Greenbay Packers.
