I am delighted to write this testimonial for Brien Shamp.
Obtaining long-term results from fitness and nutrition training is not only due to the commitment of the client, but also has a great deal to do with the education by, and role of, the trainer and coach. I have been a client of Brien’s for about two years now, and feel that I can unequivocally attest to the success of his training, coaching, classes, and personality.
As a result of Brien’s coaching and training, I have learned a great deal about proper exercise and nutrition for someone my age (I am 65 years old), and feel that I am healthier as a result of this. Prior to working with Brien, I always did the same routine at the gym, and eventually had a torn meniscus in my knee from too much gym equipment resistance (for which I had surgery), and then not long afterward strains in my hip tendons, for which I had to get physical therapy treatments. It was around the same time that Brien was recommended to me through a friend, and I started working with him. From Brien I learned proper exercise for flexibility and resistance using one’s own body and muscles, and in fact, saw that Brien used many of the same exercises as the physical therapist to take care of the strained hip tendons. All my hip pains improved almost 100% after working with Brien over the last two years. From Brien I also learned about healthy foods in one’s diet, especially watching out for sugars and obtaining the proper amount of proteins. Brien also always carefully listens to me (and I can see he listens to all his clients), carefully customizing an approach for nutrition and exercise for each of his clients that gives them the proper tools and allows them to build on their own development.
In addition to the above, Brien’s upbeat/positive personality, sense of humor, and obvious commitment to, and belief in, what he teaches enables him to keep people’s attention and make his training and exercise classes enjoyable and fun. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Brien to anyone desiring improvement in their health in terms of diet and exercise.
