Background
Before pursuing a career as a fitness trainer, Shaun was an accomplished professional sailor spending 12 years working on cruising and racing yachts, worldwide.
During this period he was part of the crew that set five world speed sailing records. Swam for his County and played Rugby through to late 20’s. This gave him a good understanding of the strength and fitness required to perform at the top level in sport which helps him to help others achieve their goals. This first hand understanding of the specific fitness requirements for sailors has resulted in him training some of the top sailors in the world amongst them Dame Ellen Macarthur, Alex Thomson, plus Team Pindar and Artemis Ocean Racing.
In addition to his clients in the sailing industry, Shaun has trained people from all spheres including marathon runners, Channel swimmers and tri-athletes.
Shaun enjoys watching people embark on a training program which pushes them harder than they would on their own. Plus by working closely with each of his clients helps them to keep the motivation going so that they can achieve their own goals and experience the rewards that brings.
