“I Would Say . . . Just Start!”

Here is a recent review from one of our 6:00am clients, Karen:

I started with Shane at Strength School in November 2025. Months prior I had several telephone conversations with Shane as I was concerned about not being "in shape enough" to start. Having recently retired (I am 60) from a sedentary career, I knew that my weight and lack of exercise were both going to be a challenge to overcome. Talking with Shane he encouraged me to "just come" ... "just start!".

I am so grateful that I did.

The confidence that comes from milestones I didnt expect to meet is a perk I wasn't anticipating. I can now do push ups. And dips. I am surprising myself with the increases in the weights I am lifting. Additionally, the change I didnt expect is that my bloodwork has improved. I have a chronic blood disorder that requires testing quarterly and charting the improvements in the last 8 months is a visual of of the health impact strength training has. So great to see this mapped out.

The things that make Strength School stand apart from other gyms ........the small class sizes, the accountability of showing up with a group and being encouraged by their commitment , Shane's experienced coaching style ... and knowledge, and willingness to answer questions, no matter how many I ask!!

If I could give a suggestion to anyone considering checking out what Shane offers... I would say. Just come. Just start! You will surprise yourself at the progress you are capable of. Thank you Shane for encouraging me. Strength School has made a big difference in my life.
