Shan Shan has been my trainer for over a year now and she has been an amazing support to have on my team to help me get fit again. I used to play sports all throughout high school and even in college but once that stopped, I stopped. I had lost motivation. I wanted to get fit on my own but after the loss of a close family member I was stuck and did not see a way out. I joined NWFITCO with my family and was paired with Shan Shan as my personal trainer. At first I only did the free monthly check-ins and that once a month encouragement and plan making with Shan Shan really got the ball rolling for my weight loss. I started at the heaviest I had ever been, 261lbs, and I was amazed to see how having outside accountability helped push me to succeed. In the first 3 months I lost 35.8lbs! I started training with Shan Shan weekly after that.
Shan Shan has been an awesome trainer! I wanted to learn proper lifting techniques and increase my cardiorespiratory fitness while losing weight. I have a background in kinesiology (the study of human movement) and I was impressed by Shan Shan’s knowledge of anatomy, cues and terms that I had recently learned getting my bachelors in Kinesiology. She has been a supportive and understanding friend while also pushing me to reach my goals. I could barely jog on the treadmill at first but one of my goals was to get under a 9 minute mile. Currently, I can run a 7 minute 45 second mile consistently! And I want to get faster! Shan Shan has helped me target my weak points so that I can become a well-rounded athlete.
Her background as a black belt in Taekwondo has shone through with the challenging agility sessions she has prepared for me. Over the last year with Shan Shan I have lost 70 lbs. and I am sooooo close to original goal of losing 76lbs! I could never have been so consistent and motivated without Shan Shan. I highly recommend her as a trainer to anyone looking to make a lasting change in both their physical and mental health.
Thank you, Shan Shan!
