Testimonials

Last week Shane held a promotional evening for his clients introducing the new range of clothing for Specifics Training. I was amazed at the large number of clients who were there. It was testimony to the work he has put in to his business and the loyalty and appreciation of his many clients.

I have been training with Shane for three and a half years. I have trained with other Personal Trainers in the past but have never found anyone as good as Shane. It is his commitment to his clients and their goals that is so extraordinary.

Let me give you and example. Back in 2007 I decided I needed a PT to get me started after a long spell of low motivation. I had experienced Shane as a Spin instructor and when he said that he was starting up as a PT I thought “maybe I should ask him if he would take me on” never really thinking that he would agree. He did – and then I worried! I had never trained with a man before let alone an athlete and I was sure he would push me too hard.

I need not have worried. Shane did a thorough assessment and then developed a programme for me that would strengthen my core before going on to anything too much harder. Over the next year I came to realize that his greatest skill is in being able to assess just what level his clients can be pushed to without extending them beyond their capabilities. He does this through his knowledge, his skill, intense observation and attention to the client, through intuition and some trial and error.

Over the 3 years I have trained with Shane I have lost 20 kilos and participated in the Sparc Women's Duathlon and 5 Triathalons, run 10 kms in the Wellington Marathon (after not being able to run at all) and taken part in the Cateye Moonride relay race, but that has not been the main benefit. Through training in the swim squad I have met a wonderful group of people who have become my close friends, I have travelled away with the triathalon camps, and been able to cheer my friends on as they participated in Half Iron men races.

I have learned about food as fuel, self discipline, dedication and sportsmanship. I have seen people do amazing things that Shane believed they could do and they did not (including me).

Shane's passion for his work and support for his clients leads to him actually supporting them in their events – even on his day off. He is one in a million. Don't waste any more time – get training with him!
