Shane McLean

Shane McLean is a Certified Personal Trainer who’s worked with a wide variety of clients, from the general population client all the way to ex-Navy seals and college athletes.

Shane is a big believer in seeing exercise as a gift for the body and never a punishment — exercise should be as enjoyable as possible and never just a “work” out.

In today’s, heavily-scheduled, electronically plugged-in world, where you stare at your smart phones, check your emails/texts and generally sit for too long, there is a real disconnect between you and your body.

This is where he can help you.I want you to have better mobility, stability, and strength, so you can move better and feel better, and he wants to help you to better deal with the challenges of daily living.

When you get to the gym he want you to crush your deadlifts, squats and bench presses with a smile because getting stronger is also fun. Shane writes regularly here on a variety of health and fitness topics while guzzling copious amounts of coffee. Check out his professional website at The Balance Guy.
