    A few words from Shawn “"Fitness has been a big part of my life since I was a kid. I grew up playing rep hockey and baseball and was constantly training.

    Now in my adult years, I train not only for my profession as a police officer but I am also competitive in CrossFit. 

    The one thing that has stayed consistent has always been my passion for fitness. To have the opportunity to open a facility completely geared towards making people the best version of themselves is a dream come true. 

    Coaching people to move better, become fit for life while encouraging them to achieve their goals is something that I take pride in, and I can't wait to see you guys in our new facility!"

    Additional Certificates: CrossFit Level Trainer, Masters Certificate in Personal Fitness Training Through the Sport Performance Institute

     Here are a few words from Tyler:

    “Now in my 7th year of coaching, it is one of the things I care about most. Coaching has never felt like a job, and instead something I’m “supposed to do.” I gain a lot of satisfaction helping others progress in fitness, even if it’s as simple as a movement feeling better or hitting 5lbs more on a lift. On top of that, I love getting to know others and seeing them day to day makes me look forward to coaching classes even more.”

    “I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2018 but after having each of my children I felt so far from myself physically and mentally. I knew that being consistent and disciplined with my nutrition and fitness would help me find my way back to myself, and it did! Taking time for myself to move my body in the gym makes me the best version of myself for my kids and my family. I’m looking forward to meeting members on similar fitness and lifestyle journeys while coaching at Total Athletics!”

    COACH

    After Years of commercial gyms, a weight loss journey, competing in power lifting and dabbling with Olympic weightlifting, I turned to CrossFit in 2019 and instantly fell in love. Throughout my fitness journey I have always enjoyed helping friends and family along the way, so when a coaching opportunity opened up, I jumped on the opportunity.

    I enjoy being able to coach and push people to learn new skills, hit personal records and push that extra bit in their workouts. Total Athletics has become a second home for me and the community is like no other. If you are second guessing if this is for you, don’t, you’re only going to wish you started sooner! Cant wait to see you in class!
