Shawn is more than just a personal trainer/nutritionist... he is a lifesaver. I found Shawn when I was looking for a nutritionist near me that could handle the complexity of my stomach issues. I was 31 years old, 113lbs @ 5'10" and nearly dead. I wasn't able to eat food, I wasn't sleeping and I was so weak that I could barely walk. I had seen many Doctors, been in and out of the hospital and received nothing but drugs I didn't want to be on. In a very short period of time Shawn had me off the drugs, eating food, sleeping well, and strong enough to start taking care of myself again. After 3 months Shawn had me up to 140lbs and confidently lifting weights. During my training with Shawn, he displayed a vast depth of knowledge that assisted me in all areas of my life - mental, emotional and physical. His positive attitude and ability to calm my fears got me through some really dark times. Quite simply, Shawn saved my life... and for this I am infinitely grateful. More...

I’ve been working with Shawn for about three years and he has helped me not only lose weight, but also has helped me with my hormones, gut health, acne, anxiety, depression and mood swings. In my view, he’s the best personal trainer in Los Angeles - very professional, knowledgeable and empathetic. He’s taught me how to eat healthy, put together a great nutritional supplement program, and has optimized my training and workouts. My energy is so much better than before and I feel great about myself. Anyway, I would highly recommend him. More...

I worked with Shawn for a few months before my honeymoon -- and he definitely knows how to sculpt a body. I'm not disciplined enough to maintain the type of diet he recommended but I did find his approach to training and nutrition to be informative and helpful in reaching aesthetic goals and building strength quickly.

I have been working with Shawn for close to two years and I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who not only wants to work on their physique, but wants to look at the root causes of why such a goal has not been achieved.
Shawn is highly intelligent, well versed in nutrition and supplements, and most importantly empathetic. Shawn understands the challenges we all face in our quest to improve our minds and bodies. Shawn is not your typical trainer. A session with Shawn is not going to consist of lift this and lift that and nothing else. Shawn looks at your life circumstances, your nutrition, your genetics, your obstacles, and many more things. In my case, I have suffered from mental illness for the majority of my life. Shawn started to look at the biological root causes of my symptoms through review of my diet and calorie intake, several in depth tests, and referrals to additional professionals who could help me on my journey to a better body and mind. Shawn has graciously made himself available to me on off hours in order to provide additional support to me. I have made great progress with Shawn and honestly have never encountered a trainer quite like him. I am extremely grateful that I came across him and would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a full body and mind strengthening.

Shawn is terrific! He is very knowledgeable and takes a holistic approach to addressing all of your issues and concerns. I have worked with him off and on for about 5 years now, ever since I was diagnosed as prediabetic based on my HbA1c number. He helped me get my number down to where my doctor said I was no longer prediabetic! He did this by first assessing all aspects of my life (work, personal, mental, physical, emotional) and then making changes to my diet and recommending some great supplements to enhance my results, which I have been maintaining. At first I was resistant to the changes because I didn't want to give up my delicious fatty junk foods, but he took the time to explain the science behind the changes he was asking me to make, what the foods he was asking me to eat would do for me, and frankly I feel much better now and have more energy and vitality! He has also changed my body through different types of exercises with phenomenal results. I feel like I have a new lease on life! I've also had the great fortune of attending a few of his lectures throughout the years, and every time I come away with so much knowledge and a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration to be my best self. This guy really knows what he's doing! Consider yourself lucky if you get to work with him. I highly recommend him without hesitation. More...

I started working with Shawn two years ago, not knowing much about fitness and just wanting to "look better."
After learning about my fitness goals, Shawn was able to customize a program for me.
Shawn is unlike any other personal trainer--because he looks beyond your appearance and also considers your overall health and holistic well-being.
For instance, I work 80 hours a week in a high-stress environment, and my sleep quality was awful. Shawn realized that and introduced me to meditation techniques, which have tremendously improved my sleep quality and overall energy.
Over the course of two years, Shawn helped me gain 10 lbs of muscles while maintaining my waist measurements. (It blows my mind.)
That's why I would gladly recommend Shawn to anyone interested in looking (and feeling) better.

I've had amazing results with Shawn! My goal initially was to tone up and to reshape my butt. The difference with Shawn is that not only does he focus on training, but he also goes thru your nutrition program, lab testing, supplements, a stress program, hormones and much more. I've never gotten results like this. I look great in a dress, skirt, bathing suit and in my workout clothes. Now, I get compliments on my legs and waist. I love it!!! The other thing is that my skin looks great and I have so much more energy now. I think it's really unique to combine so many different aspects of health into one program. If you're looking for a holistic program to tone and shape your body and feel great, this is definitely for you. One word, Wow! Also, as a woman, my hormones are important to me. In the past, I've had various hormonal issues. On his program, my hormones are in balance. Everything hormone related is so much better. With Shawn, I think he's best quality is that he's a really good teacher and explains everything health related whether it's the science of toning, shaping and fat loss to what is the fastest way to get results. If you work with him, get your tape measure and scale ready. He's going to ask you to get that on day 1. Over the course of a few weeks, I started noticing my body toning up and looking better. My measurements started changing and in general I just started feeling better. His program is very comprehensive and to be honest, it's less work than doing some boot camp class and his program has better results. And, for all of you that are into detoxing, he has a program for that too. Anyway, I would definitely recommend him. More...

Having trained with Shawn for just a couple of months, but didn't get started on the what to eat until a couple weeks after. . that's when I noticed the lost of pounds and inches off the waist. Shawn had taught me that getting to my goal is affected by all aspects of my life, such as quality/quantity of sleep, level of stress.. the holistic approach is key. Having the mentality of 'must train hard everyday' before and overtraining, I now know it is okay to take it easy day by day and surprisingly enough, can gain results too. Which I have experienced.Being a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I've also noticed more endurance during my training there.I recommend Shawn if you're looking for a coach that will help you gain more knowledge on getting quality out of your training and just overall quality of life.Thanks!

I can't say enough about Shawn! He is truly the best and most knowledgeable trainer and holistic professional I've ever worked with. He not only knows about fitness and training, but also amazing at nutrition and health issues. Because he truly cares and wants clients to see results, he spends a lot of time on the assessment phase. Shawn took the time to assess everything I was going through (even with my emotional and mental health!) and put together a comprehensive personalized program to get me on track with the fastest, healthiest route to long-term results. I am sad I don't live in LA so I can work with him for a lifetime. His clients are all lucky to work with him! More...

I worked with Shawn on getting more knowledgeable about nutrition and wellness. First of all, he lives by the rules that he teaches which immediately inspires you to be as healthy, youthful and energetic as he is. He is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition but he does not just give you a meal plan and walk away. He talks about your lifestyle, sleeping patterns, stress management and gives you a holistic lifestyle plan that is easy to follow yet completely life changing.If you are looking to invest in your health and make lasting, life long changes that reverse the clock, Shawn is your man!

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
To tone your body, gain muscle, and lose fat, you must really be willing to change your habits and lifestyle. I will be the first to tell you that it is not easy to lose fat. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and consistency. The following tips I use with my clients which should help you transform your body.
They are broken up into the following categories: Diet, Strength Training (weight lifting), and Cardio.
1. Diet:
-Drink lots of water. Your body will hold less excess water weight. Half your body weight in water in ounces.
-Most of your carbohydrates should be from yams, sweet potatoes, yucca, squash, and any vegetables or fruits.
-Eat enough protein. This tip would be in relation to your body weight and how active you are. Athletes should consume about 1 gm for every pound of body weight. If you’re working out 2 to 3 days a week, then you would need within the range of .5 to .7 grams of protein per pound of body weight. As a percentage of your diet, I would recommend 25% to 40% of your diet is protein.
-Eat 5 to 6 times a day or every 3 to 4 hours. Don’t skip meals.
-Keep a food journal. If you have a trainer, have them review it weekly. If you don’t have a trainer, still keep a food journal. Having a journal will keep you aware and accountable with respect to your eating habits.
-Your diet should be broken up into the following macro nutrients – approximately 30% Protein, 50% Carbs, and 20% fat. This ratio may vary depending on metabolic type: see Bill Wolcott’s book on Metabolic Typing.
2. Strength Training (weight lifting)
-Rest time in between sets should vary between 60 to 120 seconds. There are cases where you should wait longer in between sets, but for most this is the “ideal” rest period for muscle growth.
-Change your workouts every 7 to 10 weeks. Your body can grow accustomed to training with the same routine. In order for it to continuing adapting and growing you should change your workout routines.
-Keep a workout journal. This tip is avoided by most people. Most people can’t remember exactly what they did in their last workout which probably had anywhere from 10 to 25 sets. The workout journal will help you keep track of the weights that you’ve lifted in previous workouts.
-Also, you need to either buy a stop watch or consistently use the clock to monitor time in between sets.
-Lift more weight. Now that you’re keeping a workout journal, you know exactly how much you lifted last week and the week before. One of the fundamental principles of growing muscle is simply adding more weight at your next workout. Every time or every other time you workout you should be a little bit stronger than the last workout. Thereby, your next workout you should be able to go up in weight on various sets in your routine. Try increasing the weight by increments of 2.5 to 5 pounds.
-Eat immediately after your weight training session. Your body will need the nutrition.
Many women do not lift weights and primarily focus on cardio and diet. While those two categories are important, you must not forgot to do strength training at least twice a week. Building some muscle will add shape to your body. It tones your arms, legs, and of course your backside. Trust me, you won’t look like a body builder or too masculine if you lift weights. Gaining muscle is a lot harder than you think.
3. Cardio:
Switch up your cardio routines consistently. For example, on one day perform sprint training for 20 minutes; the next cardio routine try walking on an incline treadmill. Next workout use the stair master or spin classes, or elliptical, or the bike. Also, you can use 2 or 3 different cardio exercises in one workout. For example, 20 minutes workout on the bike, then 20 minutes on the stair master, then 10 minutes of boxing or kick boxing. Your body is an efficient machine. It will get used to habitual cardio workout routines. By changing it up, your body will continue to burn more calories then if you keep performing the same cardio routine month after month.
