Manuel’s Testimonial

Tags: shaun

When I met Shaun, in October 2008, I had been running short distances for a few years and, after completing a couple of half marathons, I had set my mind on one day being able to complete a full marathon.  Being an overweight asthmatic, weighing in at 115kg, I knew that a lot of hard work would be required to reach my goal.

The motivation was there, but I realized I was not going to get there without expert advise.  Rather than pushing weights twice a week with a personal trainer, I needed a coach who could help me change my lifestyle forever and I began to work with Shaun to improve my fitness and strength and to lose the excess weight I had carried for most of my life.

Following the initial assessment, we developed a health program, which consisted of an exercise plan with lots of variety and nutrition guidance, monitored by keeping a food diary.  Only 6 months later I had lost 30kg, and the most amazing thing was how easy it had been with Shaun’s help.  There was not a single moment in that 6 month period where I did not enjoy life.  Life actually became more enjoyable by the day as my health and well-being improved.

In December 2009, I completed my first marathon, which was on the Antarctic mainland in very harsh conditions.  I came 6th out of 18 runners and had left several multi-marathon runners behind me, something I could not have dreamt of in my wildest imagination.

Apart from coaching me, Shaun has also been coaching the crew on the semi submersible Ocean Epoch, a drilling rig working for BHP Billiton in Australia.  He has developed personal health and fitness plans for the rig personnel and provided guidance on nutrition.  The feedback from the rig personnel has been outstanding.  They enjoy Shaun’s personality and recognize him as an expert in his field and the participation in his program has been great.  He has not only made a big change to the health of the individuals, but also their families as the crew take his advise home and pass it onto their spouse.  Shaun continues his coaching when the crew is onshore on their time off and them being able to contact Shaun by e-mail has been a big advantage.  It is without doubt that having healthier and happier personnel contributes positively to the healthy safety culture and performance the rig continues to experience.

Shaun is incredibly knowledgeable about health and fitness and is a great motivator, who has had a huge positive impact on my life as I am sure his coaching has added a few years to it!  I continue to work with Shaun towards my next goal of running a 90km ultra marathon in 2011 and I recommend working with him if you are ready to achieve your fitness goals.
