Shaun Shephard is one of the most knowledgeable and dynamic fitness trainers I have yet to meet and let me tell you why. I have relied on Shaun as one of two personal trainers consistently for the past three years, training with her one to two times weekly. I trust and respect her thorough knowledge and understanding of technique, form and breathing that has helped me to achieve my goals of overall physical strength, balance and well-being.
Shaun consistently seeks to advance her own knowledge and education as evidenced by her many certifications. She readily seeks relevant research and information tailored to individual needs in order to achieve optimum results for each client. Not only do I speak from my own experiences, but from my observations of how Shaun works with other clients.
Throughout the time Shaun has been my fitness trainer, she has managed to keep all sessions not only challenging but interesting - using diverse techniques including free weights, the resist-a-ball, Pilates based core stability exercises and cardiovascular training. She trains by example modeling both technique and healthy lifestyle habits while employing a keen sense of humor and sharp wit.
If you're looking for a seasoned professional who respects each individual and is committed to working with you to achieve your personal fitness goals, then I highly recommend Shaun Shephard. Whether your goals are short term or lifestyle changes, Shaun can be depended upon to help you achieve them.

During my experience with Casey Purpus, he has demonstrated a remarkable knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and the underlying biochemical principals.
His sensitivity and creative response to a person's inherent, or acquired limitations make his skills especially useful in the rehabilitation setting.
I would have little hesitation in entrusting a patient's rehab or fitness training program to Casey.

I've known Casey Purpus for a number of years, and in that time have had many opportunities to observe him as he trained people. He has always maintained a large clientele, many of whom he has assisted through rehabilitative programs. I've never witnessed or heard anything that would suggest that any of his procedures were anything but safe. I in fact find him to be highly sound in his techniques both in concept and delivery.
I would never hesitate to suggest that one of my patients train with him, many already have and do. It is deeply apparent to me that Casey truly views training as a career not a job, and therefore would be an asset to any health club or rehabilitative center that sought his services.

I have known Casey Purpus for a period of 10 years. I have found him to be honest, reliable and very dependable.
Casey works extremely well with people, and his caring attitude should be a tremendous asset to anyone that he works with. His knowledge and experience in the kinesiology of exercise, nutrition and overall health and fitness training is something that should be valued by anyone hiring his services.

I have worked with many private trainers over the years. I first became aware of Casey by observing him during his sessions with clients. His skill and knowledge was immediately apparent to me, but it was his methodology that I found most intriguing. I approached him and began training with him. I experienced results in an incredibly brief period of time. His innovative style and diverse approach have given me a renewed enthusiasm for training. He is extremely creative and alters my program constantly, not only keeping it interesting, but making it fun and always challenging.
Casey also exhibits a high level of patience and compassion. He gives me a strong sense of safety and security. I have felt totally confident referring my clients to Casey. I am a Nutritionist specializing in the field of weight loss and weight management. I have been practicing for many years and have never experienced this level of comfort and confidence with any other trainer.
Casey demonstrates the highest degree of professionalism I have ever witnessed in a personal trainer. He exemplifies what I believe to be the greatest attribute a healthcare professional can and should possess a deep concern of the outcome for every individual in his care. He is educational, inspirational and enlightening. Casey is very personable, as well as being one of the most adept communicators I have encountered.
