Testimonials

“Shane has worked with me for over a year now and the difference is tremendous. Besides obtaining my weight loss goals, I’m healthier, have more energy and have a lot more endurance.”

David Klonoff, M.D

“By working with my teenage daughter and me – often together – Shane has helped create a beautiful bonding experience for the two of us. It’s wonderful to share our goals, time and experience. Both of us are now feeling much healthier, stronger, have better posture, better balance and better attitudes.

But beyond that Shane shaped his training to help me work through a number of health problems – one of which his training and advise played a key role in helping to alleviate. I continue to recommend Shane to friends that I know he could do a lot of good for.”

My Testimony

On March 5, 2010 – I collapsed in my classroom and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. While all symptoms pointed to appendicitis, I wound up in surgery with an abscess to my right fallopian tube. The surgeon fixed the problem, but my martial arts career ended instantly. I am a vocal music teacher by profession, but martial arts was my fitness program. For the next few months, I could not do anything physical to ensure full recovery. I became depressed and stopped taking care of myself. I put on unnecessary weight. I knew it wasn’t right, but I didn’t know what to do.

On Dec. 31, 2010 – I met my trainer, Shawn Siegle, who introduced me to the “No Shane, No Gain” program. I had weight to lose, and I wanted to tone and trim my body.
I started to workout with him twice a week. The workouts are always productive. My trainer is very positive and genuinely cares about my well being, so I always look forward to our sessions.

As a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo, I was no stranger to good form. Form was necessary to demonstrate perfect katas and execute techniques, but it was never stressed when we were doing pushups or situps or any other exercises for warm-up, strength building, or cool down. In that sense, I was not prepared for the emphasis of form during my workouts. My trainer is very particular with form. He says it is the foundation of a good workout, and he is constantly watching that. Good form aligns my body correctly and activates the correct muscles.

I have been with the program for only 3-1/2 months, but so much has changed in my life. I am losing weight, and I am strengthening and toning my muscles. I am physically active, I am healthier, and have more endurance. Most importantly, I am much happier and have a better attitude. My workouts with my trainer are a part of my weekly schedule. I benefit from the positive comments and encouragement which I implement in my daily life. The confidence I have gained from the program is priceless.

“No Shane, No Gain” works. There is no doubt that it does. Your trainer can keep giving you the tools necessary to make it work, but it is up to you to keep making it work. But I also suggest—believe in yourself, be dedicated to the program, and if you are working with a trainer, listen to your trainer. Your trainer and the program will lead you to the right path.
