I have known Shaun for a good number of years now; we met at Beacon Hill Gym when he first started to build his business. I used to wind him up about the miserable performances of Sunderland Football Club, an enjoyable past time which over the years has given me hours of harmless fun. For a while I thought I could manage my own fitness regime, but having sustained a series of calf injuries, with my weight pushing 15 stone and my motivation failing, I eventually succumbed to his blandishments and started training with him.

Shaun is a very good trainer; he seems to know how hard to push you and will always push you a little harder than you would push yourself. He can tell when you don’t have much in the tank and adjusts the session accordingly, but you won’t get away without trying, and he varies each session to keep them stimulating and testing. I might be knackered when I leave but I always feel better! Now all my family have benefited from Shaun’s expertise in one way or another; Pam who is actually a pretty classy runner has benefited from work on her upper body and core strength, Rachel started training to make sure she would look good on her wedding day and succeeded so well that she still goes every week. Charlotte has only been a couple of times but she has started running, lost two stone in weight and it’s just a question of time before she decides to take the next step.
I may not look like a great advertisement for Shaun’s expertise; I still carry a bit of condition, but I am strong and fit and can still run ten or twelve miles in the hills without too much trouble, with enough in the tank at the end to out sprint my fellow runners all of whom are younger than me.

However, this is more by way of a congratulation, than a thank you.
It’s great that the new gym is going so well, Shaun has worked his **** off to get this far; it’s an excellent set up and knowing Shaun, it will only get better over the years.
Well done mate!
